It's Big Sound time dollypops, and
that means an absolute cavalcade of
new music; we take a feature-fied
look at the artists for which we are
going to elbow our way to the front.
There're also interviews with Harts,
Cass McCombs, Angel Olsen, Drapht,
Glass Animals, Mike Noga and more,
and meanwhile reviews are falling out
of the sky: L.A. Salami, Wilco, Opeth,
De La Soul, Big Scary, Venus II, Kishi
Bashi and Roy & HG's This Sporting
Life are among the downpour. Be good!

NICK CAVE
& THE BAD SEEDS
A DAY ON
THE GREEN
Wine and music go together like peas
and carrots, except they're a far more
entertaining pair. The brilliant A Day On The
Green series is back, in which quality local and
international acts perform in all of Australia's
major wine-growing regions over the summer
months, offering a spectacular environment in
which to enjoy your picnic and a boogie.

"What happens when an event occurs
that is so catastrophic that you just
change?” asks Nick Cave in the trailer for
his impending film One More Time With
Feeling. “You change from the known
person to an unknown person. So that
when you look at yourself in the mirror, you
recognize the person that you were, but the
person inside the skin is a different person.”
The adored Australian icon and his band The
Bad Seeds are releasing the enormously
anticipated new album Skeleton Tree this
month, along with the accompanying film,
which is playing in very select cinemas
around the country on Septmeber 8 (one
day before the album arrives). Directed by
Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Killing Them
Softly), One More Time With Feeling was
originally conceived as a performance-
based feature, but evolved into something
very different after Cave’s 15-year-old
son Arthur died in a tragic accident in
July last year, having fallen from a cliff
in Ovingdean, Brighton (where the Cave
family relocated in 1980). Skeleton Tree
and One More Time With Feeling promise
to be gripping explorations of Cave’s grief,
sifted through the inimitable sieve of his
musical talents. Stay tuned next month
for our discussion of the album and film
from this most perspicacious and beloved
of Australian artists.
Quite aside from the surroundings, you are
seriously spoilt for choice amongst the line-
ups organisers Roundhouse Entertainment
have concocted in this, their 16th season:
Simple Minds and the B-52's on one bill;
Garbage and The Temper Trap on another; You
Am I, Something For Kate and Spiderbait on a
third; a collection of legends including Richard
Clapton, Ross Wilson and Wendy Matthews
on the Cassic Hits All Day bill; and the one and
only Sugar Man himself, Rodriguez.
The venues include All Saints Estate,
Mitchelton Wines and Rochford Wines
(pictured above) in Victoria; Leconfield Wines,
Peter Lehmann Wines and Annie's Lane in
South Australia, Petersons Winery and Robert
Oatley Vineyards in New South Wales; and
others in Queensland, Tasmania and Western
Australia. Head to
