Optus RockCorps at Horden Pavilion, Moore Park, Sydney: The Script, Tinie Tempah and Guy Sebastian

Optus RockCorps at Horden Pavilion, Moore Park, Sydney: The Script, Tinie Tempah and Guy Sebastian - 11th April 2013

THE SCRIPT, TINIE TEMPAH AND GUY SEBASTIAN WILL BE ROCKING OUT AT THE HORDERN PAVILION ON THE 11TH OF APRIL.

How did you get 5000 young Aussies to volunteer for groups such as Wesley Mission, the Smith Family, OzHarvest or the Asylum Seeker Centre? Give them a free ticket for a big pop concert.

Optus were right on the money with this promotion, and it looks like it was a huge win - win - win all round, judging by early reports.

Officially, and perhaps in reality also, you couldn't get a ticket for this Thursday night's Hordern Pavilion concert, headlined by Irish band The Script and Guy Sebastian (also featuring Tinie Tempah and The Potbelleez) because all 5000 attendees did four hours' community work in one of about 65 community projects around Sydney, through the Optus RockCorps program.

The artists playing tonight each did four hours' voluntary work. No word if they had been paid for playing.

Energy levels were high and the historic venue was jam packed with volunteers and fans. About a dozen news media covered the event, which will also get considerable air time on Australian pay TV channels such as Foxtel's MTV, V and the like.

Since 2005, 130,000 young people have done an estimated 500,000 voluntary hours under the RockCorps program, in return receiving free tickets to shows by artists such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5 and Kayne West.

This was a great effort and well done to all involved.

All the performing artists were really friendly to media also, which makes a big difference to the way media workers feel about attending multi-hour concerts such as this one.

Special thanks to Liz, Sophie, Amelia and Nathan who assisted news media greatly.

We are really looking forward to future events from Optus and friends.

Promo...

Don't miss your chance to be part of something special. Get Involved! Give 4 hours. Get Given 1 exclusive concert ticket.

What better place for Optus RockCorps to launch in Australia than the Hordern Pavilion. Located in central Sydney and built in 1972, this is the venue that is renown for the best sound, vibe and most importantly, the best shows (even the artists love playing here!). With 5000 volunteers rockin out to one of the most exclusive gigs of the year, this is going to be something you don't want to miss.

The Script

So much has changed for The Script since they released their first album four years ago. First they broke Britain, then the States, then everywhere from Asia to South Africa. Along the way, they toured with U2, Take That and Paul McCartney, sailed through the second album syndrome that sinks so many bands, played to a 55,000-strong crowd at an historic hometown show in Dublin, amassed almost four million followers on Facebook, 1.5 million on Twitter, wracked up 100 million YouTube views, and saw their singer star on TV talent show The Voice.

Tinie Tempah

For those of you who are not familiar with this super star, Tinie Tempah is a renowned MC, a hip-hop veteran and has a host of number one hits to his name. He is responsible for tracks such as ‘Written in the Stars’,‘Pass Out’ & ‘RIP ft Tinie’. He has sold out arenas and has worked with artists such as Labrinth, Snoop Dog and the Swedish House Mafia (to name a few). One thing we know for certain, Tinie Tempah is going to blow the roof off the house!

Guy Sebastian

Guy Sebastian is one of Australia's greatest singers and performers and was the first Australian Idol winner in 2003, capturing the hearts of Australians with his uniqueness and incredible vocal talent. His first solo single 'Angels Brought Me Here' debuted at number one and was the fastest selling Australian single in ARIA chart history. The smash hit single also reached Number 1 in four Asian countries and New Zealand proving Guy is a world class talent. Subsequently he was invited to sing as a guest at American Idol in 2004.

As a songwriter Guy has penned songs for some of the biggest artists in the world including Usher. So far in his career three of Guy's albums were nominated for Highest Selling Album. He has received 10 ARIA nominations and won one. Highest Selling Single for "Angels Brought Me Here" in 2004. He has also won numerous, MTV, Nickelodeon Awards. In 2010 he appeared as a judge on Ch 7's hit show X Factor.

News...

Optus adds The Potbelleez to RockCorps...

Telecommunications provider, Optus, has added Australia electronic music act, The Potbelleez, to the lineup of its RockCorps concert which takes place on April 11 at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion.

Optus RockCorps is an event which “money can’t buy” as tickets are earned through volunteer work. It was launched in Los Angeles by a group of friends who wished to build a community for young people to establish social relationships.

RockCorps intends to encourage individuals to make volunteering a part of youth lifestyle just like sports, music, fashion, and gaming. As such, receiving a ticket requires persons of at least 16 years of age to complete at least four hours of volunteer work at an Optus RockCorps volunteer project.

The Potbelleez joins a line-up consisting The Script, Tinie Tempah, and Guy Sebastian.

“We are super excited to announce we are joining the line-up for the first ever Optus RockCorps concert in Australia,” iKid (Ilan Kidron; vocals and guitar) from The Potbelleez, said.

“We can’t wait to get on stage… and put on a once in a lifetime show to give back to those hardworking volunteers who gave up their time for the community.”

SAY HELLO TO GOODBYEMOTEL

After a whirlwind of success in the city that never sleeps, goodbyemotel has bid farewell to New York City (for now!) and have just unpacked their bags in their hometown of Melbourne. The group brings with them their own distinct brand of atmospheric-rock to unleash on the Australian music scene and finally garner the success they deserve on home soil. With their new single set it off gaining traction on Australian radio and their upcoming album release, we can be thankful that goodbyemotel will remain in Australia for a few months to promote their album before heading back to the US later in the year.

A massive coup for the band was when luxury car brand, Chrysler cherry-picked goodbyemotel’s newly released single set it off for their national Australian television campaign.  The quality of goodbyemotel’s music is undeniable and was only further validated when many of their songs were also picked up and played on big-budget American TV shows including, Gossip Girl, Covert Affairs and Suits. Their song Watching You was featured in the film Summer Coda.  Further to this goodbyemotel were showcased on Delta Airline’s indie spotlight inflight radio program and also used for a national campaign feature on MTV in America.

For the six months that goodbyemotel called NYC home, the band exploited the melting pot of talent that the city had to offer. The band wrote and recorded their yet-to-be-released album If alongside some of the worlds best including producer Kevin Killen (U2, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush) and music director Gerry Leonard (David Bowie). Throughout the recording process goodbyemotel were lucky enough to have Bruce Springsteen’s back-up singer Everitt Bradley, George Michael’s musical director and keyboardist Henry Hey, and Peter Gabriel’s bass player Tony Levin pop in to play on parts of the album and feature on the track Crawl. When they weren’t recording they were touring the US, playing at the CMJ NYC and enjoying great success on US College radio. The band also completed a residency at New York’s Rockwood Music Hall.

The band’s reach is evident when, after hearing their music and meeting the band, the likes of Storm Thorgerson (creator of the album sleeves for the majority of Pink Floyd’s covers) insisted on designing goodbyemotel’s album artwork.

Progression and breaking-ground sit at the core of goodbyemotel’s ethos and is what sets them apart from every other band. With two of the band members running a successful production company, pairing musical and visual elements comes naturally to the group and serves to bring the bands music to life. This was never more evident than at the band’s innovative 3D live video concept show in Brooklyn (NYC). Always keen on pushing boundaries, this is a concept that the band are eager to repeat back home in Australia, something worth staying tuned for.

“Your new favourite band = goodbyemotel”

 The Brag, Sydney Australia

“Graceful, cinematic rock bulging with gritty and grounded guitar riffs and massively hooky chorus harmonies” Direct Current Music

They’ve carved their path in America and now goodbyemotel are on home ground and ready to share their own unique sound.

goodbyemotel is fronted by 21 year old Swedish/Australian lead-singer/guitarist Gustaf Sjodin Enstrom with vocals that soar and a head of hair to match. Melbourne boys Tom Marks, Scott Pioro, David Schmidt and New Yorker Paul Amorese complete the group.

PARCHED MARCH WRAPS UP AT IVY...

Parched March, Sydney's month-long bar odyssey, has wrapped up for 2013 by throwing a huge VIP media and celebrity event at The Lawn, Ivy last night.

The rain didn’t deter guests from gathering on the second level of Ivy to enjoy delicious cocktails by Suntory, wines from Wild Oats and canapés. Founder of Parched March, Amy Cooper, gave a heartfelt speech thanking everyone involved before Simon Mercier, owner of participating Parched March venue Name This Bar, jumped on stage to auction off artworks created as part of Parched March. The Parched March PUP UP dog statues sold for a combined $2000, Merivale’s Justin Hemmes generously bought the Mambo Surfboard for $1500, Nacho Pop’s ‘Elephant’ artwork sold for $450 and Wade Osborne from band Amy Meredith sold his ‘Doggie Style’ artwork for $250, all money raised was donated to Animal Welfare League NSW.

Swing dancers graced the stage and got everyone doing the ‘twist’ before SYP, the Australian Psy impersonator, did an impromptu performance of Gangnam Style which got everyone jumping up and down!

The event was a media and celebrity frenzy, with guests including Dr Katrina Warren (celebrity TV vet), SYP (Australian Psy impersonator), Rex Lee (American actor from Entourage), Lynette Bolton (WAG Nation TV star and married to Sydney Swans player Jude Bolton), Amy Meredith (3-time ARIA-nominated Australian band), Hayley Jensen (former Australian Idol contestant), Annalise Braackensiek (TV presenter and model) and even our own Parched March furry brand ambassador Fashion Dog.

More than 60 Sydney bars mixed up special cocktails throughout the month of March, including Bondi Hardware, The Botanist, Gazebo Wine Garden, Hugo’s, Palmer & Co, Méjico, LL Wine & Dine and many more. The annual Good Times for a Good Cause has been the biggest year yet with over $40,000 raised in total over the month, a new record and double of what Parched March raised last year.

“Parched March helps raise money for Animal Welfare League NSW (AWL) by encouraging people to enjoy our city’s bars responsibly. It proves that doing good doesn’t always mean depriving yourself,” says Parched March Director Amy Cooper.

"It's now become a much-anticipated event on the Sydney social calendar, bringing friends and colleagues together as well as showcasing this city's brilliant bar culture."

In 2013 Parched March put on a number of unique challenges and events, with highlights including:

The Parched March PUP-UP – Throughout the month of March specially commissioned papier mache dogs were decorated by Mambo artists, Jamie Durie and other celebrities, and appeared in participating venues. The unique artworks were auctioned off at the launch.

March 17th 2013: Pets at the Pub - Lord Dudley Hotel, Woollahra. Held a Best in Show dog contest, fun, prizes and special appearance from Dr Katrina Warren at the lovely English-style pub.

March 21st 2013: MR CBD, at Ananas at The Rocks turned up the heat in town, with a beauty parade and auction of the hottest male city workers. Brings new meaning to sex and the city! We have now crowned our very first Mr CBD for 2013, Angelo Bourras.

March 22nd 2013: Furry Friday Rescue Challenge - The fast-paced treasure hunt through participating CBD Parched March bars will saw teams following clues to find the Pup-Up dogs.

April 3rd 2013: The Wrap Party – The invite-only bash was the culmination of the month.

In the name of furry, charitable fun, Parched March 2013 has been the biggest celebration yet of Sydney’s top-notch bar culture.  We'll drink to that!

Sydney Opera House & Melbourne Recital Centre present Mahler Chamber Orchestra

One of the world’s best chamber orchestras to visit Australia for the first time "The orchestra sounded superb, light and robust, graceful and full." New York Sun "The plaintive warmth of the string playing was beyond belief." New York Times Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Recital Centre today announced the premiere visit to Australia of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra (MCO). Regarded as one of the most artistically interesting and successful ensembles on the international classical music scene, the MCO gives two performances at Sydney Opera House on 10 and 11 June followed by two performances at Melbourne Recital Centre on 12 and 13 June.


When the MCO made its debut at the Teatro Real in Madrid in 2008 Le Monde called it “the
best orchestra in the world.” The MCO is a travelling orchestra with 45 core members from
20 different countries including one Australian, Kirsty Hilton. The MCO is on the move for
approximately 200 days each year and in 2012/13 will perform in 13 countries with
performances in major musical centres as well as exclusive festivals from the North Pole to
the Red Sea. The MCO has been recognised as an official European Cultural Ambassador
for the years 2011 to 2013.


The ensemble's flexible structure makes it possible for them to perform a very wide range of
repertoire, including everything from chamber music to large symphonies and operas, from
baroque to world premieres of contemporary works.


The Orchestra’s name refers to their roots in the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. Alongside
founder, Claudio Abbado, Daniel Harding is the conductor who has played the most
significant role in the Orchestra’s history. In the summer of 2011 the musicians voted
unanimously to give Harding the permanent title of Conductor Laureate. As the protégé of
Sir Simon Rattle, Daniel Harding will be making his Sydney debut with the Orchestra on this
tour.


The first performance of the Sydney season features internationally renowned violinist
Christian Tetzlaff, who was recently profiled in The New Yorker and who has been described
by The Guardian as a performer “…few can equal today.” Teztlaff performs the virtuosic
Beethoven Violin Concerto on a bill including Australian composer Brett Dean and
Schumann’s Symphony No. 3, Rhenish. The second performance of the Orchestra in
Sydney features American star cellist Alisa Weilerstein whose playing has captivated
everyone from Daniel Barenboim to local audiences with some of the “most technically
complete and emotionally devastating” playing to be heard on the international stage.
Weilerstein performs the Shostakovich Cello Concerto No.1and the program concludes with
the Orchestra’s thrilling interpretation of Dvorak Symphony No. 9 From the New World.


Program
Beethoven’s Violin Concerto
(Sydney, Monday 10 June & Melbourne Thursday 13 June)
DEAN Testament
BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto
SCHUMANN Symphony No.3 Rhenish
Composers like Beethoven and Schumann are the foundation of the Mahler Chamber
Orchestra’s repertoire, the gold standard of an orchestra’s prowess. Christian Tetzlaff and
his ventriloquist’s skill for letting a composer speak through his playing will make this
performance of Beethoven’s concerto unforgettable. Under the baton of conductors like
Daniel Harding, Schumann’s symphonies are at last being heard for the works of genius they
are. The Rhenish is full of high-spirits, high ideals – the work of a Romantic visionary in love
with nature and with life.


Shostakovich and Dvorák
(Sydney Tuesday 11 June & Melbourne Wednesday 12 June)
HENZE Sonata for strings
SHOSTAKOVICH Cello Concerto No.1, Op.107
DVORÁK Symphony No.9 From the New World
Shostakovich’s white-knuckle cello concerto is the ideal vehicle for Alisa Weilerstein, whose
intense and dramatic reading of this work has a devastating power. Shostakovich is
emblematic of the bitter facts of Soviet Russian life but Dvorák’s Symphony No.9 is the
optimistic opposite, born in a new world. This portrait of the golden age of 19th-Century
America was premiered, aptly, in Carnegie Hall. Both are ideal showcases for the brilliant
Mahler Chamber Orchestra.

Lennard Promotions Presents: An Evening with Todd Rundgren

Lennard Promotions present a musical evening spanning four decades of hits with legendary musician, songwriter, producer and musical visionary Todd Rundgren.

A Wizard, A True Star. The title of Todd Rundgren's 1973 solo album aptly sums up the contributions of this multi-faceted artist to state-of-the-art music. As a songwriter, video pioneer, producer, recording artist, computer software developer, conceptualist, and, most recently, interactive artist, Rundgren has made a lasting impact on both the form and content of popular music. This July Todd and his amazing band which includes keyboard master John Ferenzik (Jefferson Starship, Todd Rundgren), guitarist and former Guitar Player Magazine editor Jesse Gress, drummer Prarie Prince (The New Cars, The Tubes, Jefferson Starship) and on bass Kasim Sultan (Blue Oyster Cult, The New Cars, Utopia), will bring to life 40 years of amazing music to Australian audiences.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential `60's cult group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt. But it was 1972's seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him 'Rock's New Wunderkind'. It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and the above mentioned A Wizard, A True Star, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light, Hello It's Me, Can We Still Be Friends, and Bang The Drum.

In 1974, Todd formed Utopia, an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship, and embarked on an extensive round of touring and recording. Standout Utopia offerings included Oops! Wrong Planet, Adventures in Utopia, and Oblivion. Along the way, Utopia combined technical virtuosity and creative passion to create music that, for millions, defined the term "progressive rock."

Rundgren's myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meatloaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates. Rounding out his reputation as rock's Renaissance Man, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp's 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton's Up Against It (the screenplay commissioned by The Beatles for what was meant to have been their third motion picture).

Early last year Rundgren performed his iconic 1973 album A Wizard A True Star in concert in its entirety for the first time ever, and recently did the same with a double bill: Todd & Healing. His latest two studio albums Todd Rundgren’s Johnson, a collection of classic Robert Johnson songs, and reProduction, covers of songs Todd has produced for other artists. This summer he toured with Ringo Starr (for the third time).

Todd Rundgren will release his new studio album State on the Esoteric Antenna label via Cherry Red in May, 2013.State is Rundgren's 24th solo studio album (and that's not including the two albums he recorded with his first band The Nazz, and the nine albums he recorded with his band Utopia). Todd's latest musical vision is a fusion of rock, soul, r'n'b and electronica that is at once danceable, ground-breaking, spiritual, challenging and infectious.

Enjoyed by some 3.5 million people across North American and Europe, Cavalia is a lavish production involving 44 magnificent horses and featuring 36 riders, aerialists, acrobats, dancers and musicians from all over the world. Charged with poetry and pure emotion in a dream-like environment, Cavalia celebrates the relationship between humans and horses, virtually reinventing the equestrian arts.

Cavalia has received critical acclaim from around the world, including The New York Times, which noted that the theme of Cavalia is “Celebrating horses, humans and their bond”, while The Washington Post described the show as “Horseplay of the highest order”. Las Vegas Magazine claimed it is “One of the most spectacular hybrids of modern theater in the world”, The Toronto Star said “A new fairy tale-like show from the imagination of a Cirque du Soleil founder”, while Paris Match defined it as “Pure poetry”.
