Leaving The Awkward Phase
“It’s been really busy and I’m kind of exhausted but, at the same time, I like moving around all the time – it really keeps you on your toes."
There’s more to Issue 338 on the iPad

“It’s been really busy and I’m kind of exhausted but, at the same time, I like moving around all the time – it really keeps you on your toes."

"You always imagined that to get into some of these clubs you had to dress up in expensive designer clothes, but when the acid house thing hit it was more democratic, and more about expecting anything, you know?"

"I am sort of the master of my own world and I am not used to working with other people."

"We can’t be fucked dealing with the whole, like, pay 30 bucks an hour, Melbourne-style parking – it’s fucking shit. We just go, ‘Fuck, I’m just gonna park over here’."

"I mean, I have a Sunday best album that I always play on Sunday, and maybe I hope that one day one of my albums can be that special for someone."

"There’s also this weird thing in dance music where the performance is almost totally eliminated. You don’t go to a show to see flashy antics from the DJ; if you do I think you’ve missed the point somewhat."

"Kaskade’s been the biggest help for me; he was the one who broke me into America back in 2011, and he’s invited me to be a warm-up DJ for him."

"I was just obsessed with Michael Jackson, obsessed with Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles is another one who I really grew up with a strong influence. I guess it’s kind of like black music from back when is what I really love."

"We’re really excited to be able to come out on tour and connect with our fanbases around the world. I’d say come out and see us, check your brain at the door and have a really great time.”

"I have more of an understanding of what drives people to seek and experience humour."
After the astonishing set Norma Jean played, it’s hard to imagine waiting so long to experience their high-energy live show again.

This town needs to lift its game if it’s to continue drawing international acts to its remote shores.

Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds were a slightly awkward fit for the Perth Comedy Festival.

A few more years’ life experience and an expanded world-view will likely add the depth that his show currently lacks.

Absolute hilarity ensued, with an ending that is safe to say, no one was expecting, and closing off a show that has been a definite highlight of the festival.

While the audience could easily think that what they are hearing this time around could also be all fictional bravado, the honesty in Fleet’s performance tells us otherwise.

It may not have been a ROFL performance but the audience left light-hearted and appreciative of an everyday fella.

Genroulette emerged as acting exercises with audience attached, but it also provided the privilege of watching actors at play, and, with its scattering of glowing moments, was still relatively easy to leave with a grin.
