KC and the Sunshine Band will be bringing their catalogue of dance anthems including ‘Get Down Tonight’, ‘That’s The Way (I Like It)’, ‘Please Don’t Go’, ‘Keep It Comin’ Love’, ‘Boogie Shoes’, ‘Rock Your Baby’, ‘I’m Your Boogie Man’, ‘(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty’ to Sydney next month. With over 100 million records sold, KC and The Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the 70’s. Funkmeisters War are also making their debut trip to Australia to be a part of this bill, with their mix of funk, jazz, R&B and rock & roll. Their hits include ‘The World Is a Ghetto’, ‘Lowrider’, ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends’, ‘All Day Music’, ‘Slippin’ Into Darkness’ and ‘Summer’.
what's on
With their fourth album hitting the shelves in just 18 months, nobody could say that these Melbourne psych fanciers are afraid of hard work and they could be vying for the title of the Antipodean Guided By Voices (who have released 21 albums and five since 2012).
However, it is a truism that quantity doesn’t always equal quality and while there is plenty to like about ‘Oddments’ it doesn’t match the freak-out brilliance of previous efforts like ‘Float Up-Fill Your Lungs’ and ’12 Bar Blues’.
While it does seem like a less ambitious effort than those mentioned before, it’s still one hell of an eclectic release with lashings of psych, folk, lo-fi garage and even a touch of soul peeking through the wall of fuzz.
If you like having your heart strings tugged at, then this inspirational true story should be right up your alley. Will Smith stars, in a career-best role, as failed businessman Chris Gardner. After losing everything, he is forced to live on the streets with his son. Desperate to find a steady job, he takes a stockbroker internship however before he can get paid, he needs to go through six months of training. Smith’s son Jayden is also fantastic as Gardner Jr.
While the “how far will you go to protect your family” genre has definitely been done to death, there is still plenty to write home about in this taut thriller from Canadian director Denis Villeneuve.
Hugh Jackman stars as Keller Dover – a man facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter is missing and the only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on the street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence forces his release. With time running out, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

Robert Redford stars in this open-water thriller about one man’s battle for survival against the elements after his sailboat is de-stroyed at sea. Written and directed by J.C. Chandor (‘Margin Call’), it is a gripping and moving tribute to ingenuity and resilience.
Kevin Hart and Ice Cube lead the lineup in the new film from the director and the producer of blockbuster comedy ‘Think Like a Man’. When a fast-talking guy joins his girlfriend’s brother — a hot-tempered cop — to patrol the streets of Atlanta, he gets entangled in the officer’s latest case.
A contemporary thriller in which the original monster of Victor Frankenstein stands between the human race and su-pernatural creatures. It picks up where the Mary Shelly novel ends: Victor Frank-enstein's death and the abandonment of his creature to meet its end in the Arctic.
Beneath Bruce Garrett’s shabby, overweight exterior, the passionate beating heart of a salsa king lays dormant. Only one woman can reignite his Latin fire. Spotlight hits, sweat drips, heels click - Nick Frost is Cuban Fury. 1987: A 13-year-old natural born dancer with fire in his heels is working himself up to explode all over the UK Junior Salsa Championships. A bullying incident on the streets of London robs him of his confidence. So it is that 22 years later, Garrett (Nick Frost) finds himself trapped in self-pity. Only Julia (Rashida Jones), his gorgeous new boss, gives him reason to live.

‘Ocean’s Eleven’ with Nazis. That’s the best way to describe the latest directorial offering from George Clooney.
Based on a true story, ‘Monuments Men’ follows a ragtag platoon as they attempt to find and recover precious artworks stolen by the Nazis during World War II. Clooney heads up the ensemble cast, with appearances from Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, and Cate Blanchett. Although the story of ‘Monu-ments Men’ is undeniably intriguing, the similarities between it and ‘Oceans Eleven’ are annoyingly apparent. The scene in ‘Oceans’ where Clooney and Brad Pitt sit at the bar coming up with their team is played out to the letter between Clooney and Matt Da-mon in ‘Monuments.’ The short, snappy exchanges of dialogue are the same. Even the sweeping pan outside the Bellagio at the end of ‘Oceans’ is recreated. Clooney directed, co-wrote and produced this movie but it could have been twice as good if it were made with half as much involvement from him.
Given Aaron Paul’s bravura turn as Jessie Pinkman in the brilliant ‘Breaking Bad’, I approached this film with a certain sense of antici-pation – despite my usual ambivalence toward ‘car flicks’ (‘Vanish-ing Point’ ‘Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry’ notwithstanding).
Based on the iconic video game franchise, ‘The Need For Speed’ tells the story of a street racer, Tobey, (Paul) who is framed by a former business partner, turned pro racer, for the death of his best friend in a street race. After getting out of prison, Tobey is hell-bent on revenge and so he decides to take part in a cross-country race organised by the mysterious Monarch (Michael Keaton) – one of the most inexplicable characters in recent memory.
Tobey’s nemesis is having none of it so he puts a massive bounty on his head to prevent him from getting to the race. Oh dear. Sure, the stunts were great, with little to no CGI used, but that’s about as good as it gets. Where Jessie Pinkman had one of the most aston-ishing character arcs seen on television screens in quite some time, Paul’s street racer is as flat and one-dimensional as this film’s plot.

After a mammoth 2013 that saw Sydney-based hip-hoppers Bliss n Eso release their second number one album ‘Circus in the Sky’,
the boys are striking while the iron is hot with their biggest tour to date, and arguably the biggest tour in Australian hip hop history that will see them play venues like the Domain in Sydney and Nobbys reserve in Newcastle – sites normally reserved for festivals.
While there’s no denying that Aussie hip-hop has undergone quite a renaissance over the past ten years or so, with the likes of Bliss n Eso, The Hilltop Hoods, and The Herd leading the charge, MC Eso told TE that he always knew hip-hop would get to this point in Australia.
“To tell you the truth, I did see a world like this, where acts like us could play massive shows,” he said. “Right from the beginning I saw the amazing depth of hip-hop talent we have in this country and I always had it in the back of my mind that it was only a matter of time.”
Eso said he but this rise in popularity down to the honesty and lack of preten-tion that permeated Aussie hip-hop.
“Anyone who grew up listening to hip-hop heard a lot of US rappers rapping
about keeping it real and stuff and, with-out naming names there are a lot that are not keeping it real,” he said.
“We took that whole keeping it real thing very seriously – I mean, if it’s not you up there you shouldn’t be doing it. I’d say Aussie hip-hop is a refreshing response to all of that cash cash, bling bling bulls**t.”
It seems that the Aussie record buying public agrees as they made ‘Circus in The
Sky’ the eighth best-selling album of 2013, spawning the hits ‘House of Deams’, Home is Where the Heart Is’, ‘Reservoir Dogs’, ‘Act Your Age’ and ‘My Life’. The crew also recently completed a North American tour that also included a stop-over in Afghani-stan – something that will live long in MC Eso’s memory.
“Yeah, that was just surreal – awesome, but surreal,” he said. “At first I was like
“what the f*** are you thinking, the clos-est I want to get to war is playing ‘Call of Duty’. It was just so freaky because we normally ask crowds to put their hands in the air, which we did over there and we were confronted with all of these soldiers holding their fully automatic weapons in the air because they have to be strapped at all times. It was an experience to say the least.”

Get ready to be wowed
circus roll up, roll up. The circus coming to town. Featuring a litany of renowned Rus-sian performers and spe-cial guests from around the
world, The Great Moscow Circus promises to be two hours of “edge of the seat” enter-tainment - a dazzling display of showman-ship and death defying feats - from fun filled clowns to elegant mastery and, as general manager Greg Hall told TE, will exceed any-one’s expectation of what a circus can be.
“The first thing is you really need to sep-arate the Great Moscow Circus from other circuses in that this one is truly an institu-tion in Australia,” he said.
“The circus first came to Australia in 1965 and has been coming back consist-ently for 50 years – it’s truly an entertain-
ment institution. In fact it’s the most suc-cessful entertainment event – bar none. For example, our last tour of Australia cov-ered 81 cities, 72,000 kilometres and we performed to a total of 900,000 people.”
While Hall remained tight-lipped about the content of the show, he did let slip about one of the main attractions – the Globe of Death.
“Last time we had the Globe of Death we had four motorbike riders riding around a four-metre diameter globe. We had so many people request the stunt again, but because we don’t like doing things twice, we have upped the ante to include five riders,” he said.
While Hall, who has been managing the circus for 40 years said he couldn’t spruik the quality and spectacle of the acts, he
added that it was the audience’s reaction that gave him the most pleasure.
“When the show is on, I’m not watching the acts, I’m watching the audience – their reactions are just priceless. Especially the cynical 15 year olds who know everything who are left speechless.
“I remember a show recently, there was a little boy holding Dad’s hand walking out after the show and he looked up at Dad with a beaming smile and he just said “aww thanks Dad” - you just can’t beat that.”
The Great Moscow Circus will be on in Maitland from Wednesday, March 26 to Sunday, April 7 on Cultivation Road, op-posite the Showground and in Newcas-tle at the TAFE Oval in Tighes Hill from Wednesday, April 9 to Tuesday, April 27.

T he Beresfield Bowling Club has unveiled a new-look kid’s play area, and its pint-sized punters
are giving it the thumbs up.The room features climbing equip-
ment, a Playstation and an area for babies to play in, which CEO Ian Frame said was a huge improvement.
“In comparison, before we had a really small playground with a couple of slides,” Mr Frame said.
“We’re really pleased with what we’ve got.”
Mr Frame said new equipment goes hand-in-hand with restaurant renova-tions, delivering on the club’s family focus, and also turning Thursday night into family night, where two adults and two children can eat for $40.
“We’ve always been family oriented,” he said.
“We want this to be a place where you can come with your family and friends.”
The old play equipment was donated to the Beresfield Early Education Centre.

Holly Who torelease debut
Maurice will be there for you
I t’s been a long time coming but New-castle pop-rock darlings Holly Who will be releasing their self-titled de-
but EP this weekend.The outfit, fronted by Holly Clayton,
has gained a reputation for producing live shows that bristle with an infectious energy and Clayton said capturing that energy on the EP , which Clayton de-scribes as a “colourful reflection of influ-ences and the recording sounds of 60s and 70s rock and roll and Motown” - was high on the priority list.
“We knew we needed to produce re-cordings that would match the energy and uniqueness of our live set,” she said.
“We knew this would be a tricky pro-
cess and one we weren’t willing to com-promise, so we just took our time.”
Clayton added that she was quite chuffed with the way the band had been received around the traps.
“I met an older fan who said he’d re-cently ended up in an argument with his son,” she said.
“The shocked 20-year-old had a small image crisis when he realised his father was also heading out to watch Holly Who. I walked away from that smitten. They ended up at the gig together and, for us, that’s what music should do – unite people.”
Catch Holly Who at the Cambridge Ho-tel on Saturday, March 22.
N ewcastle's foremost "moody pop for crazy people” outfit Crazy Old Maurice will be releasing the first
single, ‘Are You There For Me?’ from their upcoming debut album this week and will be celebrating at The Commons be-fore taking the show on the road.
‘Are you there for me?’ is a desperate jilted lover song, building tension before exploding into craziness. Tastemaker Richard Kingsmill has already thrown his support behind the track on Twitter, dub-
bing it “smoky stuff”. High praise indeed.The release is somewhat bittersweet for
Crazy Old Maurice power couple Caitlin O’Reilly and Tim Evans. The pair, who lived at the Morrow Park Bowling Club complex, were practicing the track the night before the tragic fire that claimed the club.
“After the intensity of dealing with the aftermath of the fire, it’s a massive achievement for us to release the single,” O’Reilly said.
