New: Grace - Pluto
Grace continues WA's fine tradition of powerful female singer/songwriters.. Previously releasing music under her full name Grace Woodroofe and now operating under simply her first, Pluto is the first taste of what we can expect from the WA-born solo artist Grace, and it's a powerful statement. Produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, Pluto melds a sparse electronic beat that explodes into a world of pulsating synths impassioned vocal cries. "This is what it takes to get my hunger back," - if that's not a statement of intent from an artist who's always hovered on the cusp of breaking out into the Australian music scene, I don't know what is. She recently supported Alt-j on their short Aussie headline shows, and you get the feeling now is her time. Follow Grace: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Watch: #throughglass, FKA Twigs’ directed advert for Google Glass
Google Glass recruits buzz artist FKA Twigs for their latest commercial.. 26 year old star-in-the-making FKA Twigs has just conceptualised, directed and starred in an “arty short film” (c’mon…it’s a commercial) for Google Glass. This peculiar move by Google Glass comes in the footsteps of James Deen and Andy San Dimas, who recently used Google Glass to shoot a porno. If you're not up with Google Glass, they're basically just glasses that display information in front of your eyes; kind of like the Terminator’s glasses.  The advert is set to a re-scored version of her songs Video Girl and Glass & Patron from her debut album LP1. in the clip FKA is dancing in a black bra, hotpants and monochrome sarong (and seriously hectic eyemakeup) into a mirror, using Glass to call upon references and inspirations as well as incorporating the device into the actual filming. FKA pays tribute to her fave London dance crew Wet Wipez, before engaging in a bout of voguing and krumping (“OK Glass, show me

Tour: Sasha Grey - Here I Am
Another day, another DJ porn star tour.. The time for getting pissy about "celebrity" DJ tours has definitely passed, it's now just up to you the punter if you want to see international people from movies, TV shows, or urm... internet porn, rock out at clubs in our fair land. Earlier this year Jessie Andrews did exactly that (video interview HERE), and the whole concept becomes a lot more palatable when they've got actual skills in the booth (which she had plenty of). So following some nice LOLs yesterday with her reading SEXY TEXT MESSAGES doing promo for her latest film with Elijah Wood, today sees the announcemt of an Australia DJ tour. It would appear she doesn't have any productions (yet) I can share with you, but there is super intense EDM mix, so check the dates after that, and if Grey can look half at least half as vaguely interested while DJing as she does in her filmography, I think we're all in for a good time. TOUR DATES Dec 5 - Villa, Perth Dec 6 - Anyway @ Bottom End, Me
