Principal Entertainment Presents: The Reverend Horton Heat Australia 2013
Principal Entertainment presents the return of Texas psychobilly legends The Reverend Horton Heat, live in Australia in 2013. The Reverend returns with his white hot band to deliver the good word from the bible of high-octane rock 'n' roll for his Australian disciples this May. Long held as the last true masters of country punk laden rockabilly, The Reverend Horton Heat have built a reputation as one of the most inspiring live bands of their generation, a fact not lost on Australian music lovers who've witnessed The Reverend tear up venues across the country making the man and his band a must see on each and every visit. Breaking outta Dallas Texas in 1985 Jim Heath aka The Reverend Horton Heat distilled a potent brand of musical moonshine blending the finest elements of punk, country, blues and good time hillbilly rock 'n' roll to come up with a brew that across the span of 9 studio albums remains as fresh and intoxicating as they day it was bottled. Building a strong cult following during the '90s through constant touring, manic showmanship, and a wicked sense of black humour, The Reverend Horton Heat shared with his contemporaries The Cramps, the role of championing this conglomeration of arcane music styles re-imagined to a point where they once again became vital and fresh. A born hell-raiser of the non-manufactured kind The Reverend brings a real sense of danger back to rock 'n' roll, stories of sex, drugs, booze, and cars all set to a breakneck soundtrack of trailer trash guitars, street-level boogie grind and hell bent rhythm and booze. Rounded out by Jimbo Wallace on the upright bass and recently returned tub thumper Scott Churilla, The Reverend Horton Heat deliver verses from the gospel of rock with a fervour unmatched and an intensity that can only be described as religious.

JUNE Si CRANSTOUN Tours Sydney!
LEADING BRITISH ROCKABILLY/SOUL/R & B SENSATION SI CRANSTOUN SET TO HEADLINE FOUR SPECIAL PERFORMANCES IN SYDNEY
British Rockabilly/Swing entertainer SI CRANSTOUN is returning to Australia in June 2013. In the last few years he and his band, have climbed the retro scene ladder becoming one of the top names and major draw cards on the British entertainment market. The energetic popular performer with an infectious voice. Critics have praised his talents with such accolades as "timeless classic voice", "top drawer vocalist", "the best voice of all the singers presently on the retro scene" and many more.
SI CRANSTOUN is young, fresh, does rockabilly/swing in the same vein as legends like Jackie Wilson, and he is quickly building a reputation throughout Europe and the U.S as one of the most exciting finds on the rockabilly/swing circuit in decades. His age and energy will again bring a whole new dimension to rock’n’roll/rockabilly in his performances.
Formerly half of the dynamic duo THE DUALERS with his brother Tyber, whose British Top 30 hits included "Kiss On The Lips", "Don't Go" and the infectious, reggae-inspired "Truly Madly Deeply" (which featured in the soundtrack of the Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson starring film "Fools Gold"); SI CRANSTOUN trained in the art of songwriting by Grammy Award-winning Graham Lyle (who penned hits for the late Michael Jackson and Tina Turner). As with so many acts songwriting talents is the key and there's no better showcase of his talents than the collection found on his highly anticipated latest album "Dancehalls and Supper Clubs" - an upfront upbeat up-for-it!
SI CRANSTOUN's unique blend of spiritually soulful vocals and upfront rockin' rhythms have provided the ideal foundation from which his punchy horn section blazes. The main reason of his success is that every major vintage event and dance club worldwide booking his talents are because SI CRANSTOUN makes you want to dance and once you've taken to the dance floor - he'll keep you there.....ALL NIGHT!
When asked about his greatest influences, SI CRANSTOUN said: “Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Nat King Cole, but I don’t want to be colour specific, so let’s throw in Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. I love retro stuff but at the same time I’m very aware that there is an ‘energy’ or a dynamic that exists in modern music today. Anyone could be singing because there is no vocal identity anymore. I try to incorporate very energetic stuff that makes you want to get up and dance.”

Lucky Luke and His Shooting Stars Album Launch
Lucky Luke's brand of honky tonk and trad country is more than just a throw back retro outfit - they're the real deal.
Lucky spent much of his childhood in Greensboro North Carolina where his granddaddy played recordings of Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb, instilling in him his love for the hard luck honesty that lies at the heart of the Shooting Stars' music.
Lucky Luke's debut album I Saw the Light is a real barn burner, including classics from the hillbilly canon such as Merle Haggard's Mama Tried and Wayne Hancock's Thunderstorms and Neon Signs. An original called Fast Train Blues, and old timey banjo tunes like The Cuckoo and My Bones Gonna Rise Again, make this record an all round hoot. With plenty of room on the dance floor and some very special guests, this album launch at The Basement is one not to miss. TICKETING INFO Dinner & Show tickets are only available via Moshtix. Some Dinner & Show Bookings may be on a shared table. Please let us know at the time of the booking as a special request should you prefer not to share, and subject to availability we'll do our best to accommodate your request. DOORS OPEN AT 7.30PM http://www.moshtix.com.au/event.aspx?id=65030&caller=CAL&noadd=true&skin=291

Well known to musicians and vocalists in the Sydney scene, Daz has performed at many festivals such as Manly International Jazz, Thredbo, Bellingen and Newcastle jazz festivals, and also played many gigs at iconic venues such as The Basement and The Harbourside Brassierie ( sadly gone now..)
Daryl has also released an album of classic Australian radio songs, entitled somewhat tongue in cheek " Aussie Gold Vol 1" , by such artists as Died Pretty, ACDC, Men at Work and the Sunnyboys, all arranged by Daz in his own inimicable style.
Currently studying back at Sydney Conservatorium of music and teaching voice and piano at Newcastle University.
Thursday June 13th Nic Jeffries, John Harkins, Brendan Clarke, and Andrew Dickeson. With varying influences from Hank Mobley, Kenny Garrett & John Coltrane on the Saxophone through to Donny Hathaway, Frank Sinatra & James Taylor in his voice, Nic has had an extensive career performing music across many genres and styles. Whilst only still in his 20’s, he has travelled the world performing music for celebrities and large corporate companies alike, all the while still maintaining an individual style and sound all of of his own, earning him much respect and admiration from his peers. Much of Nic’s achievement within the Australian music industry has come from his talent in fronting and managing his own bands to high levels of success. He is called upon regularly with his bands to support celebrities and international personalities, as well as regularly managing the music side of some of the largest corporate events and conferences both locally and internationally. Throughout the past 9 years since completing high school, invitations to perform at Jazz, Blues and other music festivals all over Australia have provided a very busy performance schedule. Throughout the past few years, Nic has performed as both a front and side man for the Wangarratta Jazz Festival, the Newcastle Jazz Festival, The Rocks Aroma Coffee Festival, The Thredbo Jazz Festival, the Sydney Festival, the Noosa Jazz Festival & the Darling Harbour Jazz Festival, as well as being invited as a featured artist to perform at the prestigious 2007 International Manly Jazz Festival, where he performed to a receptive crowd of over a thousand people. In 2009, Nic ventured into the studio to record his debut album. With such a variety of influences, the album has turned out to be a collection of some of his favourite songs, no matter what ‘genre’ they may hail from. With his background and studies in jazz performance, the album and the songs have been arranged for a quartet featuring some wonderful musicians: Hugh Barrett (Piano); Alex Boneham (Bass) & long time friend Cameron Reid (Drums). The album also features guest appearances from Australian Jazz guitar icon, James Muller and the northern beaches based trumpet talent, John Pennings. The debut album is due to be released in August 2011.

Bringing a touch of Vegas to you! This Sydney Band performs a great mix of Cool Swing and Classic Soul with a touch of class and lots of energy. Dressed to kill these guys will get the party started and fill the dance floor. Blend the soulful singing of Steven Howard with the hardest Swingin’ Rhythm section in town then sprinkle with hot horn lines.... The Aston Martinis deliver the coolest sound around and will have you coming back again and again. ....Shaken AND Stirred! GIG GUIDE

The Swing Pit - 2nd and 4th Friday of the MonthSwing Pit occurs on the 2nd and 4th each Friday; a beginner focused night for those who feel they need a bit more confidence in social dancing. All dancers from Beginners to Advanced are most welcome at both events! Swing Pit Live is a great venture where we bring live bands to social dancing at the Swing Pit. Check it out.
A little secret hip dance floor in the heart of Newtown. A great mix
of music, DJs and dancers. The class before the social night is anchored
by different teachers and it is a great way to break the ice and meet
some dancers before the evening really gets under way!
