Panic At The Disco
Yep, Twothousand is giving column space to the purveyors of male eye make up and metro pop; the band that ditched their own exclamation point (formerly Panic! At the Disco) - so put down your gourmet sandwich and close those lips with organic chapstick on them... After selling their previous Sydney show in a mere 12 seconds, the Las Vegas crew is returning this week with a bag of songs from their new album and a view ‘to be the new Radiohead'.

Volume 1 - Wooden Shjips
Jamming good - San Francisco's Wooden Shjips have all the sea rhythm and outsized heaviness their name suggests. Loving on the strung-out sounds of ‘60s dead flower psychedelic rock, these guys make no beef with dropping out completely - ploughing a riff into the red ad nauseam and deep into the earth.
Dynamite In Black & White
Hot little people making hot little songs in a hot little studio, all crafted with their hot little hands - it only makes sense that this record is hot, right? Not Paris Hilton hot (because that's obviously spelt "hott"), but blisteringly cool, as in the "hip" style of cool, not the "opposite of hot".
At Mount Zoomer, Wolf Parade
Sophomore albums are make or break for any artist - whether you slump or whether you thrive depends on the act's talent and depth, and some artists just seem to have these two characteristics in spades. Montreal five-piece Wolf Parade are one of these very bands, and the quintet continue their upward march toward a successful musical peak with the release of the astounding AT MOUNT ZOOMER, the follow-up to 2004's equally brilliant APOLOGIES TO QUEEN MARY.
Annandale's Eighth Birthday
In its current incarnation (as an institution of the Sydney live music scene) the Annandale has rocked up...er, that is clocked up eight years worth of blood, sweat and beers. During this time, the pub has become as much of an icon as some of the acts who have stomped, screamed and stumbled onto its stage.
Ceduna, The Sand Pebbles
Like a scene out of Oliver Stone's sixties psyche-crapfest THE DOORS, last summer Melbourne's Sand Pebbles trekked out into the desert with a bag full of 'shrooms and kicked out some jams motherfucker! And they ended up there during Melbourne's hottest heat-wave in years. Um, oops. Hydrate dudes.
All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer
Do you know what a hippie is?
With their headscarves and hand bells, communal chanting and four-part harmonies, Yeasayer have a lot in common with west coast burnouts like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, or ELO. But they also share similarities with fellow skinny-jeaned loft-lurking Brooklynites TV on The Radio, Grizzly Bear, and Dirty Projectors.
