Recipe Scene: Apricot Rough Slice
I love using dried fruit in slices, and apricots are one of my favourites. This slice is really great, and has converted several people who believed that they hated dried apricots. I’ve also made a cherry ripe version using glace cherries, but this is my favourite. It also freezes well – I often make two slices, and freeze the second one, cut into bars, so I can grab a couple of pieces out as required.

Snap Scene: The Melvins & Redd Kross, Max Watts, Melbourne – Wednesday 8th November 2017
Formed in Montessano, Washington in 1983, the momentous Melvins returned to our shores off the back of their new double album A Walk With Love and Death. Buzz Osborne (vocals, guitar), Dale Crover (drums) and Steve McDonald (bass) have upped the ante with their latest listen: Death is a proper Melvins’ album, while Love is the score to director Jesse Nieminen’s self-produced short film, also titled A Walk With Love and Death.

Snap Scene: The Heartache State, Caravan Music Club – Sun 5th Nov 2017
Justin Garner & Nick Barker have been playing together on and off for 15 years – Nick producing Justin’s band Southpaw’s debut album and Justin playing on Nick’s last solo record (Blackwater Blues). 3 years ago they hunched over acoustic guitars and hammered a bunch of ideas into songs that became the Heartache State’s debut self titled album. Justin loves the Allman Bros, Nick loves the Replacements, every one likes the Stones so the band, with the addition of long time friend Venom on Drums and Michael Hubbard on Bass, is a collision of all.
