SEYMOUR SET TO SIZZLE AT SANDHURSTMark Seymour became a household name as the front man of legendary Australian band Hunters & Collectors in the 80s and 90s. The boy from Benalla became the thinking womens sex symbol with his good looks and ability to write songs that people could not only relate to but also connect with. I have to be telling stories that matter to the audience,said Mark Seymour. They might love them, they might hate them but they connect with them somehow. Otherwise, for that time Im on stage most people wont travel with me unless they believe that what Im saying has some kind of emotional truth. I have to fi nd that little sweet spot and thats the mysterious thing about song writing, you can sort of look at it from so many angles but until you fi nd the sweet spot it just dont come into being.After Hunters & Collectors disbanded in 1998 Seymour went on to enjoy more success as a solo artist. He has released seven solo albums since then and three with The Undertow, his current band that he slowly put together initially to play gigs with him. Mark Seymour and The Undertow are playing two shows at the Sandhurst Club in The Molly Room, a travelling intimate band room, on Thursday 12 & 19 June. I struggled for a long time to get the right balance, just musical chemistry in general, said Seymour when asked about the beginnings of The Undertow. Were in a really good place at the moment working on a new record, where we just get in a room, somewhere in the suburbs and wrestle with my songs. Its really creative, theyve got a sound thats very simple and clean, traditional roots rock and roll, but its my songs. There may be a couple new songs in the show, at least one. Its pretty political, every song has to make a political statement about some idea that Ive got about life, myself and society I live in.Seymour doesnt only just write and sing about political issues, he is also an ambassador for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Australias largest advocacy and aid organisation for asylum seekers. As a proud Australian, I believe we are a fundamentally generous, optimistic people who have the capacity to embrace the world around us in a positive and compassionate way. The idea that we should be suspicious of people arriving here uninvited, contradicts the very nature of our origins. We are a nation of immigrants,said Seymour when pledging his support to the centre.

Hunters & Collectors song Holy Grail is synonymous with sport, in particular AFL, yet it was the plight of French military and political leader Napoleon Bonaparte, not sport, that Seymour had in mind when he wrote the song. Hunters & Collectors were in the middle of writing and recording an album but the band were fi ghting. There were these huge ruptures in the group, and I pretty much wrote that song in the studio to try and galvanise peoples enthusiasm. I happened to be reading a book at the time about Napoleons march into Russia in 1812 which was a pretty incredible story, and thats where the lyrics came from. A couple of guys in the group didnt want the song on the album at all and it ended up a radio hit, said Seymour. A passion and talent for music clearly runs in the family, Seymours daughters Eva and Hannah have a band The Seymour Sisters and have played a few gigs around the Mornington Peninsula. Seymour fans may already be familiar with Hannahs voice, she provided vocals on the track Lorelei on the album Seventh Heaven Club released by Mark Seymour and The Undertow last year. The one piece of advice I gave them, I said if you want to have a career you have to write your own songs or at least write a certain amount of them and they do actually write but they wont play me anything yet because theyre too self conscious. They think Ill be really critical but Im dad so I just stay away from it, but they defi nitely have something going on, theyre fantastic singers and

harmonise really well, said Seymour. At the end of the day success in rock and roll is 99% perseverance, you just have

to be willing to work hard.Mark Seymour is certainly working hard and will be touring across the country playing with The Undertow, as well as another reunion show with Hunters & Collectors supporting The Rolling Stones in New Zealand in November. Stayed tuned for the new album from Mark Seymour and The Undertow which will be released sometime next year. Mark Seymour and The Undertow will be supported by Monique Brumby (see page 38 for review of her latest album) in their performance at The Molly Room at Sandhurst Club on 12 and 19 June.

INTERVIEW

PEARL Magazine June 2014 bayside & mornington peninsula 4

Its hard to believe were already half way through the year. The festival season is behind us, and winter is about to set in! Just when wed usually expect the region to slip into hibernation - along comes the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival and enough music and arts in June to rival our summer holidays! Here at PEARL HQ were so thankful for the amazing team of writers, reporters and photographers that keep us up to date each month with everything thats live and local in our own backyard, plus all the tips on whats worth a trip uptown in the months to come. With the recent changing of the guard from one Simon to another here in the Editors seat, its hard for me not to mention the dedicated crew of contributors that Ive worked even closer with, and of course, pay kudos to my talented predecessor Mr Simon Imrei. This month, on the eve of Morningtons Winter Jazz Festival we catch up for a chat with last years festival faves FLAP on their welcomed return, and get a look at the final Festival Program for 2014 which is now boasting over

60 performances across the long weekend! Jess talks to Mark Seymour on the recent string of Hunters shows and his return to the stage with The Undertow at an exciting new local venue. Comedian Austen Tayshus talks to Matilda and keeps the Australiana theme rolling long enough to catch a glimpse at The Angels as they kick off their 40th Anniversary Tour at Chelsea Heights with an old familiar friend. The interviews keep coming with pro-skater RJ Barbaro off the back of his recent win at the Bowlriders Jam, and the kids get glory when PEARL talks to both Justine Clarke and Hi-5 about their shows next month at FAC. We take a look at Peninsula Music Societys Winter Solstice Festival, PLOSs Oliver hits the stage, Arts Editor Andrea wraps up Art Red Hill and keeps us up to date with whats happening across the board in Arts & Culture this month.

Green Table and Billiards in Dandenong run by John and Debbie Zuciani is an affable and casual venue that caters to all

genres of music. It originally started out as The Dutch Club, but when long time member Peter Highburg donated a whole bunch of music gear, because he wanted to get the club up and jumping again, it transformed into The Green Table. Thus manifesting his and the Zucianis mission statement: To keep the music going.Every Friday night is Open Mike night run by Michael Hatten with vocals/harp from Hoochy Coochie and Ric Jackson, drummer of Root Doctors and Magnetos.Musos are encouraged to perform originals, covers, electronic music, blues, country, or any other genre that rocks their world. Hatten, who runs Alenbenlo Music at The

Hub in Dandenong, Jackson, Christian Armansin, ex base guitarist of De Je Vue and Sant Fe, along with Chris Morunga, NZ born lead guitarist from Unleaded, have been gigging together as the loose house band since last year. These talented guys have an awesome laid-back, naturally cool chemistry, are tight with a defi nite groove and undeniably worth the watch. Many regulars and newbies gig with them, as well as perform their own stuff too. Word is spreading that Green Table is a warm, friendly, down to earth place to meet,

network, jam and gig with like-minded musos.Often a $1.00 sausage sizzle, cooked on a small sizzle plate at the bar adds an old time pub atmosphere to the mix. Lately Joey Santos of 3 Stars and De Sun fame have been playing their signature Latin and funk tunes and are defi nitely worth keeping an eye out for.Saturday nights have been cranked up again with professional bands performing anything from metal, country, reggae, blues, R&B, to rock and roll.

In the not too distant future, Zuciani will run Ukulele group lessons. She has only been playing for six months but already the music bug has her tightly in its grip. Its such an easy instrument to learn and play. If I can pick it up quickly then anyone can, she laughs good-naturedly. Green Table: 16 Balmoral Ave, DandenongContact Deb 03 97917057.

REVIEWGREEN TABLE


By Gary BradshawIt has been 40 years since The Angels launched their assault on the rock n roll loving, hard rockin public of Australia. To celebrate that fact, the band have kicked off a tour that covers songs from their 4 decades of classic Aussie rock. The band has also released two commemorative albums, which include 80 tracks of studio and live versions of all the classics. Kicking off in Melbourne on the 30th of May, the tour will travel around the country and fi nish up in NSW at the end of August. These shows go for nearly 2 hours, and even being so long, it still leaves you wanting more. So many great tunes, it must be so tough to choose what gets played and what doesnt. That is a luxury that few bands have, and is testament to the success over the journey that The Angels have enjoyed. I caught the fi rst show of the tour, at Chelsea Heights Hotel. The band was tight, loud and fi nished the gig with a special guest: Bob Spencer. Bob joined the band for the encore songs, and looked like he had never left the band that he was a member of, from 1986 to 1992. Maybe some other members past may join the band during this tour? The setlist included all the songs you would expect, old and new. No Secrets, Fashion & Fame, Long Line, Face the Day, Am I ever Gonna see Your Face Again, Shadow Boxer, No Exit.. An extensive list of hits and memories!

Everyone knew the words to nearly all the songs, even the younger folks banging their heads down the front. According to Rick Brewster, lead guitarist of The Angels, the band are organising a website dedicated to all the past members of the band, with each one getting to tell their story of their part inside the band. This will include all previous members, along with road crew, managers, maybe even a groupie or two! Well, maybe not the groupies, but such a band deserves to have their history told. After all, they are one of the most successful bands of our time.One of the reasons for the bands extended success was Doc Neeson. Hailing from Northern Ireland, Doc was a founding member of The Angels back in 1974, and contributed to the song writing with the Brewster Brothers over the years. Doc was best known for his screaming vocals, his energy on stage and his personal quirkiness. He would be known to come off stage, absolutely dripping in sweat, cool down as best he could and then settle in to read a classic novel. Doc was diagnosed with brain cancer in December 2012 and fought long and hard to beat it. The tumour was removed during surgery, and he went through chemotherapy and radiotherapy before losing his valiant battle on June 4th 2014. Neesons career and his battle with cancer was the feature of the ABCs Australian Story, titled A Very Good Rascal, last month.Rick Brewster was full of praise for his former bandmate today.Doc stood out as one of a kind, a totally unique performer, he said. His feverish stage presence was unsurpassed yet beneath the public persona was a gentle soul. He leaves behind a wealth of shared memories good times, hard times and the thrill of creating timeless music together RIP Doc

Music Between The Li n e s... A LEFT OF CENTRE LOOK AT ALL THE RIGHT THINGS, WITH KOG

Does anyone remember the first time they heard about The Killers? I certainly do. Apparently there was this new band singing about girlfriends being boyfriends and boyfriends being girlfriends or something like that and the rumour was they were all gay! Thats right, not just one of them, but ALL of them. This rumour sustained itself for sometime on my school bus, which was ironically called Bus Q. Anyway, it turned out that none of them were gay and that the lead singer Brandon Flowers was, in fact, a Mormon. At the time, their breakout single Somebody Told Me sounded like any good indie rock tune of the day. The year was 2004. Franz Ferdinand had released Take Me Out, The Vines had put out Ride and Modest Mouse were making ground with Float On. But The Killers turned out to be a little more than just another indie band. With the release

of their second single Mr. Brightside they shuffl ed their way into popular consciousness and into the repertoire of every pub musician singing covers

on a Friday night. Mr. Brightside was a smash and their debut album Hot Fuss

became a seminal coming of age record for the 21st century.

Now, Im not the biggest fan of Mr. Brightside, I mean, its a good song, but its not AMAZING, but when I used to play little pub gigs, people would violently heckle us if we didnt pull out Mr. Brightside. There are a handful of songs from the 2000s that have garnered this kind of obsessive allegiance - Mr. Brightside is one of them.And to top it all off they appeared on The O.C. Remember that old gem of a show? . ahhhh to be young. As the quartet provided the sound track to yet another one of Ryan and Marissas awkward run-ins, they sealed their place in our lives. I understand that Im narrowing my audience at this point to anyone who went to high school in the 2000s, but youll have to forgive me this one time. As the years have gone on, The Killers have moved further away from the bombastic burst of youthful melancholy that holds Hot Fuss together. The albums that followed - Sams Town and Day and Age - are fantastic and arguably better. But lyrically, Flowers has positioned himself as some kind of

crossbreed of Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash; an American storyteller revealing tales about Cadillacs and the open Nevada desert. Sometimes I think he just puts random words together on bandnamemaker.com and then inserts them into his lyrics. Their last album Battle Born was pretty weak, for a band so sure in its melodic path it was confusing to hear what they were trying to create. It wasnt ambitious and it just didnt sound good. This month Hot Fuss turns 10 years old - Yep, its been that long. At the albums peak, All These Things That Ive Done, Flowers sings Ive got soul but Im not a soldier.The Killers have always been a rock n roll band with soul, but they lost that soul on their last album - Lets hope they fi nd it again. Happy Birthday Hot Fuss, hip, hip hooray!

BARBARO: I came down to meet up with an old mate, Matty Tailz who rips and is an amazing artist. He asked if I wanted to skate that night, beer provided, that was the big hook!! I met the crew down there and a few I havent met before. A one night stay turned into over a month and we are still down here working and chillin. Its so rad down here, reminds me of Margaret River south of my hometown. The scene over here in Melbs is a bit more hectic than the slower life I prefer or have been living the past year or so but the facilities are here so thats good.PEARL: You were a clear standout at Shed Nines After Dark on the Park Balnarring Bowl Jam that attracted around three hundred skaters and spectators, tell us about that night?BARBARO: We hung out at Shed Nine prior and had a few warm up brews before hand. All jumped in the van and took off, rolling in a bit late but was surprised to see the crowd at such a small low key joint. Was a great turn out. Heaps of little frothing groms and the old fellas from Moss dropped in and showed everyone how they did it back in the day.

PEARL: How long do you plan to hang on the Peninsula and where to next? BARBARO: Jess and I are gonna hang out a while longer.

Stay true to yourself, remind yourself of the important things in life. Family.

INTERVIEW by EDDIE WEARNE

INTERVIEW


For two years now Ive been writing this column, and each month Im forced to think about exactly which type of country music Im going to focus upon this time round. Im always spoiled for choice. Country music is a broad genre and these days even Snoop Dog readily admits to country leanings. This month Im able to keep it local and cover just about the

full spectrum of the genre, thanks to some excellent Victorian releases.

Ive known Harry Hookey for a little while. We met in Nashville, Tennessee in 2011 when we both attended the Americana Music Association Festival and Conference with Sounds Australia. I was surprised to learn at the time that Harry was a Melbourne boy, mainly due to the fact

that I hadnt come across him or his music before. When I saw him perform that year I thought he was pretty good, but when I saw him late last year in Tasmania supporting Busby Marou I was seriously impressed. Its hardly surprising to see that Harry has now released his debut album, produced by Nash Chambers (Kaseys brother) and featuring some of the most provocative artwork ever seen in Australian Country Music. The music itself certainly stretches the defi nition of country (which, incidentally, does not bother me at all), sitting somewhere between The Whitlams and Mumford and Sons. It has a contemporary feel, and the song writing and storytelling is sound. The album is called Misdiagnosed and is out now and available in good record stores. Another excellent Victorian (though actually a Brit by birth) is Justin Bernascone of Melbourne alt-country band The Stillsons. Justins new solo album, Winter Pick, features both his trademark fi ne acoustic guitar playing and world-weary troubadour voice. Notably, it also features instrumental tracks not a common thing these days but highly enjoyable nonetheless. Justin launches the album at The Thornbury Theatre on August 3rd.Equally strong instrumentalists are bluegrass champions The Davidson Brothers. Still young, The Davos are

Australian country music veterans with Golden Guitars and International Bluegrass Awards already under their belts. Their new album Wanderlust was recorded at Melbournes famed Sing Sing Recording Studios and will be launched at The Corner Hotel on Friday June 20th with special guests Sweet Jean and Fanny Lumsden (both worth the price of admission on their own). I havent yet heard Wanderlust, but if recent live shows are any indication expect some great traditional sounds, virtuosic playing and the unique Australian sense of humour that has always differentiated these guys from their nu-grass contemporaries.Finally, a very local recommendation: Americana Sweethearts (and column favourites) The Weeping Willows are returning to their old haunt at TGallant Winery on Sundays June 8, 15 and 22. The duo has been touring non-stop the last few months and will be in fine form!

With the worldwide success of Keith Urban as inspiration, its somewhat surprising that so few male, mainstream country artists in Australia have emerged in recent years. That could be all about to change, thanks to the arrival of Newcastles Morgan Evans.Morgan has the talent and the look to assume the Urban mantle, and if the crowds that fl ocked to his recent main stage performance at the CMC Rocks The Hunter Festival in the Hunter Valley are an indication, Evans is already well on the way.The festival was something of a launch for Evans new, self-titled album, which quickly shot into the offi cial ARIA albums charts in the week that followed. The album, produced in Nashville by friend and fellow-Aussie Jed Hughes, is an upbeat and immediately-accessible collection of country rock songs, most of which the singer had a strong hand in writing.The response to the record has been humbling for Evans, but not nearly so much as his coveted invitation to perform at Nashvilles Grand Ole Opry late last month.Playing the Opry is something everyone

who plays country music dreams of being able to do, said Morgan. Standing in that circle on the stage, playing where everyone from Hank Williams and Elvis Presley to Keith Urban has played, gives me chills just thinking about it!.The performance was a highlight of the singers most recent Nashville trip for the CMA Festival known as the largest country music festival in the world. Nashville has become something of a second home for the young star.The fi rst time I played there I was just starting out and just in awe of the whole scale of the festival, Morgan recalls. Ive grown so much as a musician and performer since then and I just couldnt wait to get out on the Riverfront Stage and play to that crowd again.Back in Australia, Evans will visit Melbourne for special shows at The Hallam Hotel on June 19th and Revolver Bandroom on June 20th. These could well be some of the last chances to see this CMC Award-Winning artist in a small intimate environment and, not surprisingly, tickets are selling fast.Visit www.morganevans.com.au for more details.

LACHY DOLEY GROUPOnce in a while there is a new Blues Album that you just cant stop playing. The Lachy Doley Groups Live at the 303 (audio CD from DVD) is on high rotation right now and I thoroughly recommend it to all that like a big Blues Hammond organ sound - Ten great tracks.

SUPPORT LIVE BLUES MUSIC VENUESThis months special mention goes to the Chandelier Room in Moorabbin (the BIN) who have been featuring an array of live Blues music on Saturday nights lately with no less than Mr Black & Blues, the Justin Yap band, SI Compadres, Wilson & While, Electric Larry and Troy Wilson to name but just a few.

NICOLE NEHEMIALast months Supporting Women in Blues meeting at the Royal Standard Hotel featured the talented Nicole Nehemia (pictured) sharing her personal musical journey. Nicole performed some of her Safari Motel set list as a capella tunes demonstrating her natural talent and how far she has now come across a broad mix of musical genres. As we have now come to expect at these Supporting Women in Blues (SWIB) events, Nicole delivered an extremely personal story with passion and honesty and her humility was an example to all. As a devotee of the Blues, Funk and Soul crossover styles Nicole has now really come of age and I would expect that 2014 will be a breakout year for this lady.

YOUTH IN BLUESYouth in Blues is an initiative of the MBAS, held annually to encourage the next generation of Blues musicians. The Youth in Blues Program aims to help budding young Blues musicians and vocalists gain confi dence and experience with the

WITH GREG FISHER


Its been 30 years since Australiana took Australia - and indeed the world - by storm. Boasting an array of Australian puns, the comedy single broke a number of records at the time. Australiana topped the charts for eight weeks in 1983, became the first spoken-word record to receive high-rotation on FM radio, and became the highest grossing Australian single ever. To celebrate 30 years of the landmark hit record, Austen Tayshus has re-released Australiana digitally via iTunes, and commenced a massive 300-show tour around the country. Ahead of his July show at the Westernport Hotel, the confronting and provocative comedy legend chats to PEARL about the success of larrikinism and complexities of satire.

At the time of Australianas release there was a strong wave of nationalistic patriotism and it had a lot to do with winning the Americas Cup, the success of Men at Work and Crocodile Dundee. All of that collaborated to make that a very patriotic time I think, and of course the fact that Australiana is not only quintessentially Australian, but also very funny. All of those things conspired to make it an across the board success because it appealed to dumb idiots and also very smart people.With Billy Birmingham penning the spoken track and Tayshus developing the one-liners into a routine through performance, Australiana thrust the comedian into the spotlight, something Tayshus says he never expected. Indeed, the larrikin humour of Australiana is not typical of the performers stand-up routine, his much edgier material proving a little harder to swallow for mainstream audiences.I split with Billy Birmingham in 1984 because fundamentally, we dont have that much in common. Im much more interested in shaking it up, upsetting people and challenging the status quo. Im into satirizing culture and just being a troublemaker. That never sat too well with him.In his bid to shake things up, Tayshus has polarized many audiences and critics; something he says is typical when it comes

to the reception of satirical humour in Australian culture.

Just look at Chris Lilley - whos like my grandson really - or Sasha Baron Cohen. People like us are always misinterpreted. What Chris Lilley is doing is just pointing out all the things that are wrong with this culture the attitudes towards immigration etc. He may appear to be racist but I think its just the opposite. Similarly, I made a routine called Highway Corroboree, which was about Aboriginal people and really took this piss out of white people. A lot of Aboriginal people misconstrued it and thought I was having a go at them when I wasnt. Its really the art of satire, thats what Im into. Pushing the boundaries right to the edge, further than anyone else can,

thats what Im on about.30 years is a long time to be in the stand up game and still have audience members walk out of shows in shock or appal. Its natural to wonder if the misconstruing of his comedy as tasteless frustrates Tayshus, or whether the mantra of you get it, or you dont keeps the comedian going. While the provocateur has been candid in stating that he likes to push the audience as far as possible - if it means pushing them out the door, thats great he also admits that any criticism does hurt. Whenever you take something on it becomes a more diffi cult road, but thats why you do it. Thats why artists are so important in a culture. The Court jester was always there to keep the King honest. If

you cant handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

For those who like a little heat, Austen Tayshus will be performing at Westernport Hotel on Saturday July 5. The show will be presented by The Molly Room, a revolutionary travelling venue concept that takes independent clubs spaces and transforms them using the same theme and decorative elements. The harbouring venue is taken to a new level of luxe, enhancing the experience of both patrons and artists alike.

GOOD FORM to our local vet for making a house call on a Sunday to clip old Raggedy-Annes claws. Poor thing was getting caught up in the rug. We really appreciate it. Grateful, Hastings

POOR FORM to selfi sh parents who come up with ridiculous new-age names for their children just to be different. These poor kids will not appreciate the gesture; they will resent you for the rest of their lives. Milkshake-Poodlefart McGee, Frankston

POOR FORM to my arms. My wife wont allow me to sleep on my back due to my snoring, but I fi nd it impossible to get comfortable lying on my side due to these two unwieldy protuberances. I often wish I could detach my arms at the shoulder. I could store them under the bed and enjoy roly-poly freedom throughout the night.

Barry Humble, St.Andrews

POOR FORM to my cruel son. Its not my idea of a pleasant Mothers Day to have you and your degenerate veterinarian friend get rotten drunk on my sherry and then forcibly clip my toenails. Please dont visit me next year.

Anne Krum, Hastings

POOR FORM to my husband and his infuriatingly impractical solutions to everything. When hes not snoring the house down, hes tossing and turning and moaning about his stupid non-detachable arms. If they were detachable, Barry, I can tell you they would not lie under the bed for long. I would take them out nightly and use them to clobber you senseless in your roly-poly sleep. Beryl Humble, St.Andrews

POOR FORM to our son, Milkshake-Poodlefart. Your mother and I sacrifi ced a great deal to raise you and little Banana. Things were tough for us, and neither of you have ever appreciated it. Why cant you be more like your big brother Dan? Daniel and Sue McGee, Frankston

POOR FORM to my physiotherapist. If I needed someone to show me stick-fi gure drawings and treat me with disdain Id have given the $165 dollars to my three-year-old.

Gretel Vag, Mornington

GOOD FORM to the wonderful Federal Budget. I havent felt this proud since we built the Death Star. Let the hatred fl ow through you!

Darth Vader, Dark Side

From tiffs and turmoil to good blokes and great moments, tell us about the good and bad stuff happening around town in our Good Form / Poor Form column! Email Simon at [email protected] with your story!

What Famine? She gave it a good shot. She was telling me about how the needy are not having their needs met and how the starving were living in their space of famine. I could feel her emotion and her concern. I was not really buying into it because we do not have a food shortage. What we have is poor food distribution. Do you know that Australians throw away 20% of the groceries that they buy? I saidWhat? She replied. I dont think she wanted me to interrupt her story. Up to 40% of the average household bin is food. I continued. I could see she was stumped for words. Her story that she tells so often was not going the usual way. Welcome my world.The wastage over one year is enough to feed an average household. I said But what about the starving people in Africa? She asked. This was going to get me going.The British farmers have moved in there and have taken all their fi sh and are now farming perfect beans over there for the supermarkets. I told her. Thanks God for that! She exclaimed.Really... I said Do you know what happens to the not so perfect beans that are not straight

enough for the Woollies and Coles of the world?No. She said. I could see she was speechless.Well they get thrown away or are fed to cattle. I continued. They do not get fed to the starving over there in any shape or form. In fact here in Australia 40% of the organic foods get rejected by the supermarkets because the potatoes are not round enough, the apples have blemishes on them, the beans have spots and we support that by buying these perfect foods. I could feel my emotions rising now. Do not even get me started on seasonal foods!Do you know the people who waste the most food? I asked her. No. She started shrinking.People aged 18 to 24, those with an income over $100,000 and families with children. I was on a roll. Do you have a compost? Do you have chickens? Do you know the legal implications in Victoria for passing on old food? Deep Breath out. Another staff member came in to save the poor lady.

If you are a local of Mornington there are a few things that you see every time you set foot on Main Street. I suppose you can call them quirks, happenstance or community parallelism - Its very likely I am now just throwing words in your face for no good reason - and I, very dutifully have written down a handful of these Main Street occurrences, because quite frankly I dont have any decent hobbies or a social life.

There is rarely a time when you venture to the main hub of Mornington and you dont see a classic car. They usually drive in packs. And if you do miss the Sunday line up of club cars parading themselves shamelessly up and down Main Street, then youll probably be greeted by the deafening roars of a Harley Davidson fl ock, consisting of 50 year old mid-life crisis men - because theyre usually the only people who can afford Harleys through legal means.The stylish older man (STO) is a Mornington must have. Never have I perused the shops or grabbed a take away coffee without strolling past the STO. There is always one walking around Mornington during the daytime, theyre like non-playable characters on a PS3 game; they just pop up from time to time. The average STO is usually in his 60s, probably named Richard and wears boat shoes. Perhaps he has a funky yellow Swatch watch and appears as though he lives part time in Capri. It is the desire of most men to one day become the STO but unfortunately only a few get to live the dream.

Of course you cant enjoy a day in Mornington without a guest appearance from Mr Yappy. Now Mr Yappy is a term for a dog that is usually miniature in size, and ugly, and probably white. Technically scientists have labelled Mr Yappy, (or known by its owner as Susiewoozy, Sweet Cheeks, Missy or any other particularly annoying name) as a canine but I theorise these dogs are more like barking rat-ferret hybrids. These yappy pets are usually accompanied by a female who walks at an incredibly, unnaturally slow pace. Mr Yappy and his cohorts are continuously disturbing the peace of Main Street as they share their vocal chords at the sight of leaves. Larger and more intelligent dogs, people under the age of 25, and dust usually sets them off also.Whether its a shop, cafe or post offi ce theres always someone in there that you recognize. And Im not talking about a chance encounter with a colleague, school friend or your hairdresser. Im talking about a random stranger you always see around. As if there is some sort of cosmic joke that keeps bringing you together in unusual places, and makes both parties feel mildly uncomfortable when you see them in a coffee shop the day after they saw you buy your grandfathers haemorrhoid cream. No one should ever see you buy haemorrhoid cream.Alexis Collier writes monthly for PEARL on whatever springs to mind really.

By Tarah MillerI like to give artists the pleasure of meeting one another.On the way to the surf, I introduce musician Chuck Berry to the members of The Beach Boys.And as he throws his anger towards them for ripping off his guitar riffs, I introduce him to Eva Cassidy.He takes a liking to her as her sweet voice begins to soothe the tense atmosphere.This is up until the boys of Alt J interrupt, and everyone realises theyve been morphed into one skewed, eclectic playlist.You see, thats the beauty of records, and thats the beauty of technology.At the touch of your fi ngers youre given the chance to bridge the gaps within music - gaps that are otherwise bound apart by time, space and genre.Bridging gaps is essentially what the Frankston City Council had in mind when devising their plan for The Edge: a digital hub that strives to bring artists together.However, this hub does not focus on musicians alone. Rather, it is a digital outlet for individuals of all art forms. It is an online artistic space for every creative individual of Frankston City and beyond, to share and communicate their work.Launched in April 2014, The Edge aims to offer an online one-stop shop for local artists as well as arts related activities, events and opportunities.The idea of creating a digital hub for artists was initially brought about by members of Frankstons artistic community themselves.

The idea for an online network came from the consultation the Council had with the arts community during the development of the Arts Strategy - it was the arts community that suggested it, Robin Batt of the Frankston Art Centre says.The Edge will provide a great platform for artists to connect with each other, be part of a creative online community, and get their talents known. It will maximize local artists exposure, promote rehearsal spaces and cultural experiences in the area, and advertise auditions, grants, collaborations and workshops she says.So far, the response since its launch at Cube 37 has been positive.Local singer-songwriter Matt Harrison says forming relationships with other like-minded individuals and sharing work has been an integral part of his craft and always will be.I think socialising with other musicians and fi gures in the industry is an absolutely mandatory step to becoming professional at what you do. Even if you produce art for recreational purposes, sharing your talent and absorbing what others do around you only allows for your skills, knowledge and craft to evolve. In relation to his own musical endeavours, Harrison says the more people I meet, the more opportunities Im given for gigs, recording sessions and exposure. The Edge has become another great avenue I can use to communicate, he says.

Matt Harrison teaches at Frankstons Guitar Village and isnt shy of encouraging his students to create profi les in the new artistic space. Young musicians need to be open and talkative, he says. That is their fi rst step. The Edge is free and is aimed at designers, performers, producers, musicians, photographers, sculptors, theatre groups, dance schools, galleries and the like. Its easy steps allow artists to upload their details, links, photos, and videos to showcase their artistic talents. With its fi ve key sections Artists, Spaces, Cultural Organisations, Events and Opportunities, The Edge is easy to use and to navigate. It also instantly connects with local creative individuals and networks.For more information go to edgearts.com.au or sign up for an e-newsletter to keep informed of all the creative opportunities and events within the region.

Baha Music Bar in Rye welcomes an excit-ing, up and coming Australian act in Little Bastard on July 5. Touring their self-titled debut album, the band can be found indiscriminately jumping on raised platforms with reckless abandon and have rapidly become one of Australias most entertaining and undeniable live acts.Having released two highly rated singles from the new album, High For You and Be My Kind , the mighty seven piece punk-string band will no doubt be putting on a scintillating show-case performing an album they smashed out in eight days with their no-bullsh*t approach.The hype IS justifi ed having received great

reviews form STACK, Tone Deaf and Roll-ing Stone with their song-writing described as highly impressive and played with power packed enthusiasm.These guys are raring to go. Having recently toured with, Sticky Fingers, Wagons, The

Snowdroppers, and playing festivals such as The Hills Are Alive, Peats Ridge, Secret Garden, Boogie, Gum Ball and Cherry Rock its safe to say they are a road-hardened act.Armed with a swag of new album tracks, Little Bastard may send the audience home a little out-of-whack but thoroughly energised, even if the hang over the following morning says different.

Check out Little Bastard at Baha, 2203-2209 Pt Nepean Rd, Rye. Gigs are 10 dollars at the door. More info at bahatacos.com.au. SIMON BURKE

It is this knowledge which helps the band painstakingly reproduce each note and every harmony to ensure it remains faithful to the original.Most importantly, these guys are life long Beatles fans, having toured nationally and internationally and its from that perspective Rubber Soul has sought to bring a totally authentic Beatles experience to the legions of other Beatles fans everywhere.This is not a tribute act, it is the music of The Beatles sung and played like The Beatles played them, 100 per cent and full of energy. They have played at Crown, Fed Square and famously appeared on ABC TVs Spicks & Specks quiz program and each time their instrumentation and their presentation was spot on.

Catch Rubber Soul at the Frankston Arts Centre,27-37 Davey Street, Frankston, Friday June 13. Ticket info artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au.

As a 22 year-old who isnt a tradie, I feel as though the prospect of buying my first home is almost impossible. Honestly, just thinking about having a mortgage was enough to make me research into the life of a hermit and reflect upon what my amateur Scout training could lend to surviving in the wild. Fun fact, there is actually a wikihow article entitled How to Be a Hermit that conveniently breaks up the discussion into Finding Whats Right for You, Getting Prepared and Reaping the Benefits and Making the Sacrifices. Turns out that Im probably not cut out to be a hermit. As for the Scout-survivalist scenario, whilst Id like to believe it would go a little like Wes Andersons vision in Moonrise Kingdom, a more logical version of myself suspects it would end up being more like Cast Away (in this scenario I am Winston, the

ball). Luckily, when confronted by the same predicament as myself, some more innovative folks have put their thinking caps on, edging the tiny house movement ever closer to the mainstream.

Building smaller, livable dwellings is certainly not a new thing, with pioneers like Lloyd Kahn pushing the mind-set since the 70s. Sure, its a big part of the Australian dream to have a sprawling abode, but its also a big Australian thing to be reminded that a mans home is his castle, no matter how big or small. From shipping containers to whimsical tree houses, futuristic prefabs, rustic cabins, homes on wheels and the permanently fixed, there is some serious architectural innovation going on worldwide.

Of course, tiny-house living has its trade-offs, but aside from the huge bonus of saving money, there are other benefits that go with the scaled-down life. Every space becomes simpler, less chaotic and free from all but that is essential and you are forced to spend more time outdoors, engage with the outside world and be a part of your community.

It might seem extreme, but so is the vicious cycle of working all day to pay for a home you seldom inhabit. These images from Protohaus and The Tiny Project may just have you re-considering the space in that cupboard under the stairs

If youre into American rock, then you have a very tough decision to make this July 4 as two acts play tribute to legend Bruce Springsteen on Independence Day.Both Thunder Road, The Aussie Springsteen Show (Hallam Hotel) and Born To Run, The Bruce Springsteen Show (Longbeach Hotel) will perform at separate venues as music lovers are spoilt for choice.If what youre looking for is a hard rockin pub night of Springsteen then head down to the Hallam Hotel.
