After 55 years of live
performing, The Pretty Things - the iconic, 1st wave R&B / psychedelic
cult heroes, formed by Ex-Rolling Stone Dick Taylor and singer Phil May
- will retire from electric performances at the end of this year when
they play one final show in London on December 18 with special friends
including Van Morrison and Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour. Unbelievably,
Australia has lucked out and will be witness to some of the band’s final
performances. And it may have taken them half a century, but The Pretty
Things will be performing for the first time ever to Brisbane, Adelaide,
Geelong and Perth audiences. Of course, Sydney gets a show (supported by
Pretty Things fans Tumbleweed), and there’s three Melbourne shows
including a one-off performance of their landmark Abbey Rd. psych
classic, S. F. Sorrow. It cannot be overstated the enormity of the
impact The Pretty Things had on the UK music scene when they burst upon
it with the dirty garage 1, 2 punch of Rosalyn and Don’t Bring Me Down.
Prettier than the Stones and grittier than The Who, the band racked up a
huge history of musical and cultural "firsts" – the “longest hair in the
world”, first ever rock and roll drugs bust, most arrests of any band,
first ever rock-opera, arrested for discharging a sawn-off shotgun,
first U.K. band to win Rolling Stone Record of the Year – The Pretty
Things are an indelible part of the fabric of popular music and the
social influence that it has created.

Making their return to
Australia this October for Frontier Touring and performing arena shows
off the back of their most ambitious release to date – two-time Grammy
nominees Panic! At The Disco are back! Led by frontman Brendon Urie,
their long-awaited sixth album Pray For The Wicked drops next week – and
now they’re headed down under. ‘Panic! At The Disco wowed... Brendon
Urie rocked through a medley of career-spanning hits, from “Say Amen
(Saturday Night)” to “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies” – although the most
memorable moment came with his rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” He
recorded the cover for the Suicide Squad soundtrack and has performed it
live before, but nailed it … hitting notes that would make any Queen
fan’s jaw drop.’ – Variety, May 2018. Panic! return 13 years after they
first burst onto the scene with 2005’s platinum, emo-fuelled debut, A
Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. Now, anticipation for Pray For The Wicked is
high: just witness the video for rousing first single ‘Say Amen
(Saturday Night)’ (the final instalment of a trilogy, following earlier
clips ‘This Is Gospel’ and ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’.) Check out the
band’s recent, unforgettable live performance of ‘Say Amen (Saturday
Night)’ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show here.

Emotional, resonant and astounding
considering his youthful age of 15, London-born, Australian- raised
Ruel’s voice is like the eighth wonder of the music world. He already
counts Elton John, Khalid and millions of YouTube streamers as fans and
now builds on some seriously snowballing hype by announcing a huge
Australasian tour (including dates for all ages in every city) slated
for September and October 2018. Showcasing breathless talents that have
seen him compared to the likes of James Blake, Frank Ocean and Sam
Smith, Ruel is a prodigious talent who is moving ever sharper into
focus. His affecting, soul-infused singles Younger, Don’t Tell Me and
Dazed and Confused have been praised globally, prompting Sir Elton to
describe him as “the most amazing voice that I've ever heard from a male
singer at 14 years of age”. This rave was followed up by an interview on
John’s massively popular Rocket Hour Beats1 radio show, exposing Ruel to
an international audience and resulting in an opening spot on rising
American star Khalid’s huge Australian tour just weeks later. All this
global attention had seemed inevitable for the Sydney native since he
made his official debut via a feature on M-Phazes track Golden Years (a
tune he was later to perform at the Commonwealth Games Opening
Ceremony). The collaboration was lined up after Ruel’s father sent a
demo to the Grammy winning producer of Ruel singing James Bay’s song Let
it Go. M-Phazes reaction? “I lost my mind when I heard his voice!”

Bauhaus 40 year Ruby Anniversary. Featuring
special guest - Bauhaus bass guitarist David J. DRW Entertainment is
proud to present the return of iconic front man Peter Murphy to
Australia for the first time since 2013. Murphy first made his mark up
front of influential UK group Bauhaus, who this year celebrate their
40th anniversary. Bauhaus appeared out of the London post-punk scene in
1978 and with their darkly romantic image and brooding songs like the
David Jpenned "Bela Lugosi 's Dead ", quickly became the touchstone for
the nascent goth movement. Bauhaus, with Peter Murphy at the helm and
David J 's soul wrenching bass, helped take goth mainstream, culminating
in an appearance in David Bowie 's 1983 film "The Hunger ", noted by
Rolling Stone as one of the greatest rock 'n' roll film movie moments of
all time. Murphy then set forth on his internationally acclaimed solo
career, and his pioneering and long-lasting influence was reinforced
when Trent Reznor brought him in as a collaborator and Nine Inch Nails
guest in the late 00 's, and when he made a cameo appearance - as "The
Cold One " - in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse " in 2010. Peter Murphy will
be reunited with David J on this tour and promises a set comprising the
classic Bauhaus debut album In The Flat Field plus other brilliant
Bauhaus works such as "She 's In Parties ", "Kick In The Eye ", "The
Passion Of Lovers " and of course "Bela Lugosi 's Dead " and their
amazing rendition of David Bowie 's "Ziggy Stardust ".

Fremantle and Melbourne as well as eight regional cities across
Australia. They will be joined at all headline shows by special guest
Little May with an additional opening support act in each state to be
announced via a triple j unearthed competition. 2018 has proven to be
The Rubens’ biggest year to date, releasing LO LA RU in June,
undertaking a mammoth worldwide headline tour across Australia, New
Zealand, the United States and Europe and most recently supporting P!NK
on her massive 42-date sell out arena tour of Australia and New Zealand!
‘Full of fun, soul-injected rock tracks’ – theMusic. ‘Pleasantly
melodic, often with a good sense of groove, and tastefully recorded.’ –
Sydney Morning Herald. ‘The Rubens have made a conscious effort to
create something unique, beautiful, and different to what they’re used
to. The result? A well-constructed album, proving they truly can do
anything.’ - Beat. Their bold and confident third album LO LA RU debuted
at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart and has received praise from fans and
critics alike. Recorded in a converted WWII bunker in their hometown of
Camden on the outskirts of Sydney, the album was produced by Wilder Zoby
and Little Shalimar (the co-producers of Run The Jewels 3) and pushes
the band’s sound into new territory.

From humble beginnings to the
record-breaking with seven times platinum single “Let Her Go”, the
singer-songwriter has performed on street corners and stadiums to a
combined audience of millions around the globe. Across his 11 year
career Passenger's works have also been recognized across the world,
with “Let Her Go” being nominated for a Brit Award, 23 Official No. 1’s,
and Rosenberg being awarded The Ivors Novello for ‘Most Performed Work'
for the same song. Previous album 'Young As The Morning Old As The Sea'
also went to No 1 in 4 countries include Australia, New Zealand and the
UK. The new album 'Runaway' is set for release on August 31st and while
it was recorded between the UK and Australia, but its aesthetic is North
American, thanks in large part to his American father who organized
trips back to the States every other summer while Mike was growing up in
Brighton, UK. While some songs point to specific locations such as
Yellowstone or Detroit, Mike imagined all the new songs unfolding
against a backdrop of American landscapes, which led to a month long
road trip across the U.S. to create a series of live acoustic versions
of each album track, and videos to match.

Due to unprecedented demand, US country
music megastar RANDY HOUSER has announced a Sydney venue upgrade and
added a second Melbourne show on his debut Australian headline tour this
December. Last Monday, Houser’s anticipated East Coast dates completely
sold out within an hour of tickets going on sale. Upgrading from Oxford
Art Factory, Houser will now play an all-ages show at Sydney’s stunning
Enmore Theatre on Thu 13 Dec. Randy made a lasting impact on local music
lovers earlier this year, blowing crowds away when he set the stage
alight at Australia’s premiere country music festival, CMC Rocks QLD.
With an explosive live set and vast soulful vocal, Houser commands the
stage with hard-hitting power. On his return down-under, Houser will
captivate audiences with a set including favourites from his four studio
albums, along with a selection of brand new tunes from his forthcoming
record MAGNOLIA, out Friday November 2 (BMG). The June release of single
‘What Whisky Does’ gave listeners their first taste of the album, which
Rolling Stone dubbed as a “classic tears-and-twang drinking song”. If
you were lucky enough to snap up a ticket to Randy’s Sydney show last
week, don’t worry. Your ticket will be valid for entry to the upgraded
Enmore Theatre show on 13th December. A treat for Australian audiences,
these career-defining shows are not to be missed for country fans.
“wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,”
– New York Times. “Some voices are just huge, so sizable a listener can
fall in. Houser has that sort of voice. A veteran performer, he is able
to animate a song’s lyrics with texture and even intimacy.” – Maine
Music News.
