However, HOT CHIP eschew the obvious, favouring quirky indie, neo 80s pop and electronica.” (Herald Sun, June 2006) Nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for their second and latest album, ‘The Warning’, HOT CHIP are Londoners Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Owen Clarke and Felix Martin. After dropping their debut album ‘Coming on Strong’ in 2004, HOT CHIP took the great leap with ‘The Warning’, which NME called “the finest album of electronic rock since Mylo’s Destroy Rock & Roll.” Doors: 8pmTickets $38.50+bf Corner Box Office 11am-8pm Mon-Sat, 9427 9198 or www.cornerhotel.com

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that Dead Moon have decided to call it a day after 20 years. I have tried everything to get Fred Cole to agree to go ahead with the Australian tour but he doesn’t want to do it. They have cancelled all booked shows in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. No one has been given a reason for the break up so I can’t give you one. I apologize for any convenience and certainly relate to your disappointment after the work we have all ready put in. Since working first with the band in 1996, this tour was shaping up as the best. Regards, Jeffrey Halls IN-TENSE TOURING.

Singer, songwriter and anti-folk hero Ben Kweller returns to Australia with his latest album, simply titled ‘Ben Kweller’. Formerly of the band Radish, Ben Kweller forged his solo career after recording an album in his tiny Brooklyn, New York, apartment. ‘Freak Out ... It’s Ben Kweller’ featured Ben on guitar, keyboard, harmonica, glockenspiel, shakers, and, as he says, whatever else I could find. Under Evan Dando’s guide, he toured the States and Europe before releasing 2002s ‘Sha Sha’. The next year he collaborated with Ben Folds and Ben Lee for a series of dates in Australia and appeared on Ben Folds limited edition EP ‘The Bens’. ‘On My Way’ came in 2004, and two years later he returned again with ‘Ben Kweller’ filled with catchy choruses layered on a base of pop rock with full credit to the multi-talented Ben playing on every instrument on the album.
