Hopefully we may get a great weekend of weather to enjoy the Chinese Noodle Night and the Cultural Festival. See info - scroll to China Week in this guide.

The Blues Rattlers are in town,(a blues band we don’t get to see very often), on Saturday at Jewels Tavern with Steve Edmonds and the Jungle Kings for the Blues, Brews and Craft Beer Festival.

So much on this weekend, lots of bands and art openings.

The Carol King stage show BEAUTIFUL is on now in Sydney. Tickets through Ticketmaster. Season is on now until February.

IN REVIEW by Richard McLeod

Went to the Catho last Sun to see Melbourne Street, what a great afternoon on the outdoor stage with the dynamic rock and roll band of that calibre playing a lot of classics you just don't hear other bands playing. Choc Eriwata certainly has one of the best soul voices in this town. As an outdoor venue it has upgraded to include new shade sails over the entire seated area – third major change I have seen over the last 17 years. Haven’t been there for so long.

Ngariki and the Dastardly Bastards were great, even with some great jazz jams – what a versatile band.

GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS

WED 24 JAN @ 7:30PM

Price: $89.90

Bookings: (02) 9550 3666

Mode: Concert Mode - Reserved Seating // General Admission Standing

Tickets: On sale now @ Enmore Theatre - Ticketek

Currently touring extensively through North America, GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS will bring their Rock Party Tour to Australia for two shows only this summer. The Rock Party Tour promises to raise the bar, rock the house and tear off the roof like never before, unleashing at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre on January 22 and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on January 24.

With more than 40 years of touring and recording, 15 million albums sold and 8,000 live shows, George and his longtime band – Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – remain among the most relentless and relevant classic rock acts on tour today.

The band has amassed a catalog of hits that includes “Who Do You Love,” “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “Get A Haircut,” and 1982’s anthemic, “Bad To The Bone.” The band has released 16 studio albums – including six Gold and two Platinum discs on Rounder, EMI and Capitol – but it’s their powerhouse live performances that have made GT&D legendary.

“We play for a different audience every night, and that keeps it fresh. There are people who’ve never seen us before, and we have to impress them. There are fans that keep coming back, and we want to surprise them,” Thorogood said. This is my job,” he added. “I’ve always loved it, and I love it now more than ever.”

From coast to coast, the critics agree:

“I’m happy to say, after all these years, that George is still ‘Bad To The Bone’ and he’s never let go of the true spirit of rock ’n roll!” L.A. Daily News

“Thorogood is a guitar-blazing revivalist whose enthusiasm and showmanship make the music fresh.” Baltimore Sun

“He’s got charisma and personality to burn, a fact that becomes evident the moment he walks on stage.” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

This year Thorogood released Party of One, the first solo album of his 40-year-plus career, marking a true back-to-the-roots approach for the singer and guitarist.

Virtual Wright: Exploring the Hollyhock House
Wednesday 11 - Saturday 28 October 2017

Long regarded as one of the world’s greatest houses, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Aline Barnsdall (“Hollyhock”) House in Los Angeles is one of the architect’s largest and most enigmatic works. However, having been closed to the public for many years, some of the important formal and spatial properties of this heritage-listed masterpiece are now difficult to access, experience or understand.

Using new computer models of the house, this exhibition undertakes a design-based exploration of its invisible or forgotten properties. Employing a combination of virtual reality simulations, rapid prototyped models and unique sliced cross-sections through the house, the exhibition demonstrates Wright’s mastery of scale, form and representation, while also revealing its normally hidden bones. This dissection of the work includes not only its architecture and interior design, but also its furniture. The entire technologically-enabled process seeks to reveal this design in a completely new light.

This exhibition celebrates the 150th anniversary of the American architect’s birth and features the work of Ian Owen, Nicholas Foulcher, Samantha Watt, and Michael J Ostwald.

The Essence of ShelterWednesday 11 - Saturday 28 October 2017

Your house is your castle, terracotta and corrugated iron keep your living room dry and brick and Gyprock keep out the cold. But what if there were no factories to encase you in luxury? No trucks to haul the bricks? Would you turn to loggers and bullocks to cut and mill timber for a bushman’s slab hut? Would you ask an elder how their people made themselves a home? Or what if you had only a pair of hands and a hatchet?

In most parts of Australia, the landscape generally offers the means for human construction of a basic shelter. The earth and the bush provide a rich palette of materials and plenty of room for innovation. The Hunter Valley offers its own robust typology supported by blackbutt, grass and bark. In this exhibition, five students studying architecture explore techniques for primitive housing construction using materials readily available in the Australian bush.

With the guidance of local researchers, each student was handed a hatchet. After a few days in the Northern Hunter Valley bush, a series of shelter prototypes were built in response to a challenging design brief: construct a shelter that would last a year and support a group of five people living under primitive conditions.

TIMELESS TEXTILES GALLERY

FLORA & FAUNA FROM MISSISSIPPI TO AUSTRALIA: KERR GRABOWSKI

American-born fibre artist Kerr Grabowski will present her second Australian exhibition at Timeless Textiles gallery in October 2017.

Known for innovative approaches to dyeing and screening processes, Kerr’s love of colour and mark-making, and her spontaneity, combine to create the diverse pieces in the exhibition. They include one-of-a-kind silk fabrics used to create art wear and wall art, silk organza clothing and wall pieces made of printed, dyed and stitched teabag papers.

It's a special birthday for one of Sydney's favourite art events, as 2017 marks 21 strong years from Sculpture by the Sea. Kicking off on Thursday, October 19, two clicks of Australia's most picturesque coastline in Bondi will be transformed into a living, breathing artscape. Over 100 pieces from both Australian and international artists will be on show, including one from James Dive, creator of 2006's now infamous melting ice cream truck.

There's also the chance for a chin wag with the artists themselves at the Aqualand Artist Talks series, which will take place each Saturday and Sunday of the exhibition. Plus, it coincides with this year's Sydney Sculpture Conference if you can't get enough of the art form. So keep your fingers crossed for good weather — the whole thing runs until November 5.

SCULPTURES IN THE VINEYARDS

This arts and cultural festival brings together art, food and, of course, wine in the Hunter Valley.

Sculpture in the Vineyards brings an artistic bend to the Hunter Valley with its annual arts and cultural festival, held throughout four independent vineyards in the Wollombi Valley from October 28 through December 3. This free public exhibition features site-specific, large scale sculptures which transform the boutique vineyards into exhibition parks.

The celebration combines art, food and, of course, wine throughout the month, with tastings happening at each of the vineyard cellar doors. Visitors can also take guided tours, attend artist talks and workshops, learn about local Aboriginal history and feast at a wine and food degustation. Events will also take place at the nearby historic Wollombi Village.

Entry into the exhibitions along the Wollombi Valley Wine Trail is free and open daily from 10am–6pm, with additional special events happening across the month.

WHEN: Saturday, October 28, 2017 - Sunday, December 3, 2017

So grab a bunch of your mates, and join us over a beer as we enjoy well-loved classics, and discover never-before-heard gems! Hosted by DJs Dan Phelan & Big Juz Moon with guest DJs each month.

The choice is yours: come along or we risk “Leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled, digitally-sampled techno-grooves, quasi-synth rhythms, pseudo-songs of violence-laden gangsta-rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine, soulless slush. Depart now and you forever separate yourselves from the vital American legacies of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Blind Boy Fuller, Louie Jordon, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonnyboy Williamson I and II, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, Lieber and Stoller, and Robert K. Weiss.” (Elwood Blues)

On the second Thursday of every month.

7.30-10.30pm

This is an 18+ event.

Cass Eager – Ain’t No Stopping Me

Friday 27 October 2017 | Doors 7pm $15 + BF Presale

Cass Eager has a brand new beat and she’s hitting the road with her band this October to send new single ‘Ain’t No Stopping Me’ off into the world.

Strange Daddy produced the new track which is somewhat of a stylistic departure from Cass’ previous work. Lyrically, it’s a testament to her resolve, and sonically it has a vintage Motown charm that hints at an Amy Winehouse swagger but sounds like she’d be more at home drinking tequila with Elle King. As always, Cass has got “more soul than heaven on a busy day”. (Brag)

She plays with her band, or alone, and while both are different magnificent beasts, one thing is constant – her voice. It carries like the wind and slams you right in your gut where you want it to. She could ‘sing the phone book to you and you wouldn’t get bored’, says Diesel.

She also loves a good story and a good laugh, and her shows are just as much about heartwarming and entertaining tales as they are about the music.

Some artists take a hiatus to write, some to travel, and others to reignite their creative inspiration. Cass Eager has done something a little more pragmatic with her recent years, and the result is two small children, Hank and Lois. But she’s back – better than ever – and ready to tell the world to step aside with her new single.

Chris Jagger

Sunday 5 November 2017 | 7pm | $23.50 Presale

Chris Jagger obviously comes from rock royalty. Watching his old brother Mick ascend with his band The Rolling Stones, Chris was soon turned onto music as well. He and Charlie Hart first met when Charlie was playing with psychedelic band 117 in Cambridge in the 1960’s and have remained friends ever since.

Together they have written many songs for a series of albums the pick of which will be released on BMG, available now as a download and as a physical release Sept. 1st 2017. The pair offer a great show, combining Charlie’s mastery of various instruments, including piano, accordion and fiddle, playing both their own tunes and some covers from Clifton Chenier to Professor Longhair as well as Cajun fiddle tunes.

They have toured across Europe, the USA and Australia over the years and are still going strong. Chris has written and recorded over 100 tunes from his first LP on Asylum records in the 1970’s. Charlie has worked with Ronnie Lane, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Roger Daltrey amongst others.

Willie and The Bandits

Thursday 9th November 2017 | Doors 7pm $12 + BF presale, $15 door

With their fresh approach to blues rock music, Wille and the Bandits have been assertively carving a place for themselves in Europe’s music scene, developing a reputation as one of the best live acts around and capturing the imagination and interest of music lovers right across the globe.

The band was listed in the top ten must see bands at Glastonbury 2014 by BBC Radio 1 and was personally invited to perform on the German TV show Rockpalast; a musical institution of global import.

Essentially, Wille and the Bandits is a classic blues rock three piece, much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix Experience and like these bands is pushing at the boundaries of their genre. Wille and the Bandits take their sound way beyond what is expected of such a traditional lineup.

The band combines three talented and committed musicians who come from very different musical backgrounds. Wille’s exquisite slide guitar playing and powerful vocals are given perfect momentum with Andy’s innovative drumming, while virtuoso Matt, with his 6 string bass and double bass, adds a class and polish rarely seen in a Rock act. The great musicianship with infectious songs has inspired praise from Rock legends such as Ian Paice, Joe Bonamassa and Francis Rossi.

Throughout a performance the band can be seen playing a range of instruments, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes switching between various guitars, basses, and percussion within the same song, giving the audience a complete performance which has seen the popularity of Wille and the Bandits grow at an exceptional rate.
