Lionel Richie Is Coming To Australia
‘BRAIN HACKER’ KEITH BARRY ANNOUNCES DEBUT AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL TOUR
Live Nation is thrilled to announce one of the world’s leading mentalists, brain hacker and hypnotist - Keith Barry - who is in Australia for the first time this week, will return for his debut national Australian tour this August.
Audiences should prepare for a riveting, mind-boggling one-man show, comprising of brain trickery, hypnotism and seemingly unbelievable and unexplainable mentalist activity not seen before in Australia.
Keith, the dashingly handsome Irishman, is enjoying time in Sydney and Melbourne this week to promote his upcoming tour, exposing and educating diverse audiences to his incredible talents throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Keith Barry is looking forward to getting into the heads of his Australian audiences!
Recent TV appearances on US chat shows ‘Ellen’ and ‘The Late Show’, a residency in Las Vegas and his trickery with A-listers - such as Bob Geldof, Charlize Theron, Samuel L Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, The Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger and Elijah Wood - becoming youtube sensations, Barry has certainly made a name for himself in North America and the UK, and his popularity continues to soar worldwide.
In 2009 Keith was awarded the prestigious ‘Merlin Award’, presented to those magicians who have achieved the highest level in their craft both on the national and international stage. Akin to an Oscar, previous recipients include the likes of David Copperfield, Sigfried & Roy, Penn & Teller and Criss Angel, putting Keith in impressive company.
Keith’s UK shows have also enjoyed massive success with his 2011 stage show ‘8 Deadly Sins’ officially the most successful solo act ever to play at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, beating his own 2010 record.
In the US a five-week residency was met with rave reviews, resulting in the Las Vegas Review Journal awarding him ‘Best Magician in Las Vegas’.
Barry has also enjoyed great success on TV with his very own Discovery Channel show, ‘Deception with Keith Barry’.
Be amongst the first in Australia to fall under the spell of Keith Barry live – but only if you dare!

Kid Mac 'No Man's Land' national headline tour of Australia
It's about to be announced that Sarah McLeod will be special guest performer at Kid Mac’s national tour launch at the Standard on June 29.
Sarah features on Kid Mac’s debut album on a track called Don’t Look Back which will be the next single release. They are shooting the video clip on Sunday. When Russell Crowe heard the song he tweeted about it a few times saying it was a total hit..
2 weeks ago Kid Mac won Artist Of The Year and Video Of The Year and the MusicOz Awards held at the Sydney Opera House.
The album No Man’s Land has surprised many with it showcasing his ability to cross musical genres of urban/rock/pop. Squashing the perception that he is purely a hip hop artist.
Here is a video bio he recently made for media to get to know him a little better - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MmdSO7jdzE
KID MAC – NO MAN’S LAND TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT
Kid Mac’s No Man’s Land tour kicks off on June 29 to celebrate the release of Mac’s highly anticipated album released on May 4.
Having just won ARTIST OF THE YEAR and BEST VIDEO at the 2012 MusicOz Awards held at the Sydney Opera House, Mac will take his No Man’s Land Tour around the country – see dates and venue details below.
Kid Mac delivered his first track off the album in April - the super punchy ‘SHE GOES OFF’ featuring US artist Mickey Avalon. She Goes Off has already clocked over 130,000 views on youtube and features cameo’s from Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki and Sarah McLeod. The song is getting airplay on Nova nationally and MTV. It’s just a taste of what’s to come from one of Australia’s emerging talents.
“It's been a long time coming and something I have been working towards for several years. I feel like I've taken my time with it and as a result have found a sound that I am comfortable and proud of. The material in the record is a good representation of me but also something a lot of people will relate to.” Kid Mac
No Man’s Land reviews are starting to pour in with media embracing the album:
Rolling Stone Mag - “Sydney MC impresses on long-awaited debut... The Sydneysider’s gritty, edgy, punk-esque hip hop is not only fraught with pep, but it’s also accessible”.
Rave Magazine: “No Man’s Land is slick and shiny, but most importantly, it’s fresh.”
At the back of an Australian tour with Mickey Avalon, Kid Mac will head off on his headline tour. Details below:

The Voice news media report; Hordern Pavilion, Moore Park, Sydney, Australia
The Voice enjoyed a media conference at Hordern Pavilion, Moore Park, this morning, with Voice coaches and finalists there to help promote the smash hit TV show, as the finals approach via Channel Nine.
Update...
The culling of eight singers from The Voice last night has set the stage for a controversial finale Channel Nine's talent comp.
Rachael Leahcar, Sarah De Bono, Darren Percival, and Karise Eden will battle it out in next week's grand final.
Only one singer per team was permitted to go through and critics and viewers took to Twitter to complain about the final line-up.
The ruling meant fan favourites on the same team were culled.
Both Leahcar and Percival battled a virus as well as the high-pressure nerves, which told in their limited vocal performances last night.
Good Charlotte rock god Joel Madden, who had culled Prinnie Stevens and Layken Heperi, chose Sarah DeBono over popular lad Ben Hazlewood.
During the show's preamble, Madden likened the semi-final line-up to The X Men: "We all have super powers. No one is better than anyone else."
The final performances will be on Sunday, with each contender performing one cover and one original song. The winner revealed on Monday night, no doubt to massive TV ratings, the likes of which have not been seen by Nine for years, is the inside word.
Each contender will perform one cover and one original song.
May the best man or woman win, and hopefully its also a win for the Australian entertainment industry.
News...
Australian TV Report With Ratings - The Voice leads...
The Voice leaped to 2.13 million viewers as the talent show heads towards to its finale.
That figure (based on actual broadcast time - not the preliminary figure of 2.15 million) is up on last Monday's 1.90 million audience in the capital cities and it appears the two finales on Sunday and Monday should hit around three million viewers for Nine.
The program gave Nine a 29.6 per cent channel share against Seven's 21.0 per cent and ABC1's 13.3 per cent, with its current affairs line-up led by 736,000 viewers for PM Julia Gillard's appearance on Q&A.
A key result for Nine was Tricky Business's performance into its fifth week. Preliminary figures from OzTAM demonstrate the Aussie drama rose to 1.091 million viewers, higher than its launch episode in May. But the actual figures based on broadcast times show the drama starring Gigi Edgley averaged 682,000 viewers with its number rocketed by The Voice's over-run as "Team Seal" decided its contestant for Sunday and Monday's finale.
Seven News came in second for the night with 1.55 million viewers and rare wins over Nine in Sydney and Melbourne. The Block continued to build for Nine, up to 1.49 million in the 7pm slot, besting Masterchef Australia (1.08 million), ABC News (1.05 million) and Home and Away (1.01 million).
Revenge continued its awesome run for Seven with 1.218 million viewers.
ABC1 had a stronger Monday night than usual, led by Q&A. Four Corners was up to 734,000 viewers, Australian Story 719,000 and Media Watch 712,000, all well up on their 2012 averages in the 600,000 region.
Fox Sports Monday Night Football match between the Panthers and Warriors bested the platform, with 278,000 viewers while 210,000 watched the afternoon AFL match between Melbourne and Collingwood. Seven's AFL figures were not yet available for publication.

Billy Connolly in Sydney, Australia for Brave Red Carpet Event
.jpg)
Comic genius and actor Billy Connolly is in town and he plays a large hairy Scotsman in Disney Pixar latest release Brave.
Rain didn't stop fans and media lining up the red carpet at George Street's Event Cinemas to meet the 69-year-old comedian, a regular visitor to our shores.
Connolly shares his voice to a 10th Century King named Fergus in the new Disney/Pixar collaboration, about a rebellious, flame-haired princess (Kally Macdonald) who rails against her intended fate - to unexpected result.
Sydney Film Festival director Nashen Moodley described Brave, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, as "a wonderfully feminist story about a young princess who defies the rules to find her own bravery and do something incredible."
Promo...
Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.
Directors: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman
Writers: Mark Andrews (screenplay), Steve Purcell (screenplay
Stars: Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson

Lingerie Football League All-Star Games Tour; Sydney, Australia
Tonight the American born Lingerie Football League enjoyed its virgin game on Australian soil.
All Phones Arena was blessed with the privilege of staging the first game in Australia.
What was on offer? - tits and ass of course, and a good spread of athletic talent. We really enjoyed the girls individual celebrations after they scored the all important touchdowns, made even more visually titillating with spray tan thanks to the all important sponsor - Mobile Spray Tanning.
If your into NRL you might be into this, and if your into pro wrestling aka sports entertainment, you will probably have a strong appreciation of this unusual, titillating and exciting sport that seems to be perfect for a good number of Australian alpha males.
Well done players and promoters for putting on a heck of a show. Looks like this special brand of footy has already developed more than just a grass roots fan base down under in Australia.
Promo...
The 2012 LFL All-Star Game will feature 32 of the most athletic and beautiful women across the league as the Western and Eastern Conference teams clash in front of projected capacity crowds in Sydney and Brisbane, two cities that the LFL has identified as being potential homes for two of the franchises in 2013. Expect these games to be as explosive, combative and competitive as all the LFL games are as each player strives to impress for selection into the teams in 2013.
LFL Football, described at the 'ultimate live sports experience', has developed one of its largest international fan bases in Australia having developed a cult-like following on Australian broadcaster Fuel TV since the league’s inception in 2009. As much success as the LFL has enjoyed in the US, internationally the appetite for LFL Football has been even greater being broadcast in nearly 43 countries and drawing near capacity crowds in previous international game play in Mexico and Canada. The appeal internationally has been strong enough for the LFL to announce the formation and kick-off of several international leagues to include LFL Canada (Fall 2012), LFL Australia (Summer 2013) and LFL Europa (2014).
Newsflash: Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy Is Not A Fan!...
Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy: "Stop the Lingerie Football League in Australia. Our daughters deserve more. The LFL is about giving viewers an opportunity to perve on women in gear that looks like it's come from an adult shop. It's called the Lingerie Football League because it's almost exclusively about the underwear."
Women of the match?
Chloe Butler and Liz Gorman seemed to get over pretty well with the Sydney fan base. Not bad looking for football players, and multi talented for certain.
