WASTELAND PRESENTS: 'TALES OF TERROR', BY BEN FROST

WASTELAND GALLERY

Wasteland Gallery King Street presents the new works of artist BEN FROST in his latest solo exhibition, Saturday May 29th.

This is the much anticipated exhibition to mark Ben’s second assault on Perth, and fans of the controversial artist will not be disappointed, with the opportunity to purchase new work, limited editions, and meet one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists.

Frost’s work is a statement on society’s continuing loss of innocence and the capitalists-corporate-western-death-machine that we are living in. His works attempt to devalue an entire corporate through the mis-use of their pride and joy mascots and logos....

Holly Miranda (USA)

she's in Australia as Lou Reed invited her..

I just want to get tickets for this now!

Tuesday, June 8, Holly Miranda (USA) plays Manhattans. Yesss! Popfrenzy is proud to announce the very first visit of American singer-songwriter and musician Holly Miranda. Invited by influential American rocker Lou Reed and critically acclaimed artist and musician Laurie Anderson to join the likes of Boris, Bardo Pond, My Brightest Diamond and King Khan for this years Vivid LIVE Festival - Miranda will also be performing shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.

You might have heard about Holly Miranda from a different source, like fan Kanye West. The hip-hop star pimped one of her tracks on his website over a year ago, and it wasn't long before hipster music blogs and even Vanity Fair joined in the

bandgwagon. Her solo album “The Magician’s Private Library” (XL Recordings) was released early this year to rave reviews and led to support slots with The XX, Friendly Fires and The Antlers. Miranda grew up singing in church, learning piano at age 6 and picking up the guitar at 14, around the time she began writing songs. After moving New York, she met the people she'd eventually refer to as bandmates for The Jealous Girlfriends, a reputable indie band that is currently on a break, Miranda said, but all continuing on their own musical pursuits.

Supporting on this night are Felicity Groom and the Black Black Smoke plus Rabbit Island. Tickets for this show are available thru www.moshtix.com.au $25+bf OR $30 on door from 8pm.

Grace Woodroofe

it's true to say amazing

Grace Woodroofe

– Do you know about Grace yet!?

Direct from Grace Woodroofe herself;

“My first national tour opening for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros last month was a truly incredible experience. I was lucky enough to invited on stage to sing and play with the Magnetic Zeros every night as well as doing the support slot, so I was ecstatic.

Recently I launched an EP called "Handled" which features two of the songs from my upcoming album. This is available digitally on iTunes as well as a limited edition 7 inch record which I will be selling at all my shows in May.

The next phase of my career is about to get really exciting as I am signing with the incredible Australian label Modular, based in Sydney.”
