Snap Scene: Destruction, 170 Russell, 24th April 2018
Founded in 1982 the legendary trio DESTRUCTION reached the top of the national thrash metal movement, with albums such as ‘Infernal Overkill’ and ‘Eternal Devastation’ nestling in their impressive heavy metal canon. Even later works like ‘All Hell Breaks Loose’ or ‘The Antichrist’ are glorious moments in thrash, highlighting why DESTRUCTION are part of the “Big Teutonic 4’’ and still touring the world with great success.

Recipe Scene: Maple Glazed Gingerbread Doughnuts
This is actually just a regular cake recipe that I cook in doughnut tins. I also use this really good recipe to make individual gingerbread puddings that make a great dessert when served with a scoop of ice cream. The batter is pretty runny, but don’t be tempted to add any more flour. If you’re making these in doughnut tins, remember to grease the tins well and only half fill with batter – if you over fill they will rise too much and you’ll lose your doughnut hole. You can of course also make this in a regular cake tin. I’m sorry there’s no quantities for the icing, I just guess.

Q&A Scene: The Tealeaves
Described by The Age as “an irresistibly winsome local indie pop outfit recalling early Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor and even Billy Joel when writing their best stuff and firing on all acoustic cylinders” The Tealeaves is comprised of former house mates and constant friends who all embarked on their playing career just up the road at Northcote Social Club in 2009 after forming the year prior.

Star Scene: Lindsay Schoolcraft ~ CRADLE OF FILTH
Lindsay Schoolcraft‘s scene is a carefree and caring one. The keyboardist and vocalist of Cradle of Filth acknowledges that her scene is still to ‘do what [she] wants’ but that doesn’t entail selfishness. She adds: “I also […]
