Recipe Scene: Raspberry Ripple Slice

January 31, 2018 Kate Delbridge
This slice has 3 stages but it’s well worth giving a go because it’s delicious. You can change it around pretty easily by omitting the cocoa and having a plain base and switching the essence and food coloring around – lemon essence and yellow colouring for a chocolate lemon slice, orange essence and orange coloring to make jaffa etc. The top doesn’t have to have the swirls of chocolate, but I think it adds to it.

Review Scene: Suzi Quatro. Red Hot Summer tour. Mornington. 20th Jan 2018

January 29, 2018 Karen Pepper
After a sold-out tour in 2014, Suzi Quatro is back to headline the ultimate rock n roll line-up. There are few female performers who have a career as successful and versatile as Suzi Quatro. When it comes to summing up her decades of music, there is no better way than to quote Suzi directly – “I will retire when I go onstage, shake my ass and there is silence”. It’s no surprise then to find out that Suzi has never stopped working in one guise or another, whether it is playing her solo rock show to packed houses, hosting her own show on the BBC Radio 2, performing on the West End or penning hit songs. To date, this enigmatic performer has sold over 55 million records, in fact, for a seven-year period in the 1970s she was featured in the British charts for an incredible 101 weeks. Her hits include The Wild One, 48 Crash, Devil Gate Drive, She’s in Love with You and If You Can’t Give Me Love to name a few.

Melbourne rockers The Ugly Kings played 170 Russell on Sunday 21 January 2018, as the first of two hometown nights supporting Papa Roach on the Australian leg of their World Tour. The Ugly Kings performed a solid set of their power blues-based rock’n’roll with Russell “Rusty” Clark on vocals, Christos Athanasias on guitar, Nicolas Dumont on bass, and Andy Alkemade on drums. Drawing influence from an eclectic and dynamic musical background, The Ugly Kings offer a powerful injection of energy and emotion to the modern rock scene.
