The Tongue is performing at Summer Rhythms Festival in Canberra on FEB 19, PUSHOVER in Melbourne Sunday March 13 as well as Sydney’s Manning Bar on April 7.

The Last Kinection are very close to completing their much anticipated 2nd record but the sad news is it won’t be released this March as promised. We’ll keep you in the loop but all we can say is we’ve heard a few songs and there are some KILLER tunes coming.

Urthboy is performing one of his last solo shows for 2011 when he storms The Espy in Melbourne this Saturday Feb 12. Tickets moving very quickly.

In 2007, Shame File Music released the landmark compilation CD Artefacts of Australian experimental music: 1930-1973, to critical acclaim. Praised variously as one of the first serious investigations into the sparse recorded history of experimental sound practice in Australia, and its historical importance is as palpable as the often exciting and exhilaratingly experimental sounds it contains, the compilation and its extensive liner notes opened Australia's (and the world's) ears to a vibrant history that most previously thought had never existed.

The Australian hip hop community is holding a fundraiser on ebay for Hunter SBX - organized by Len One & Bias B with records & cds donated from various hip hop DJs, MCs and groups. Please help raise money and get the word out. This is one of the reasons why I love the hip hop community - the guys really look out for each other.

If you've got some spare cash, please help raise money for Hunter SBX - one of the hip hop guys in Perth who's battling with cancer. The money raised goes to Hunter & his five year old son, Marley. Even if you don't want to keep the records/cds you buy or aren't into Aus hip hop, you could re-sell them later as they get crazy prices on ebay these days (do a search), and the money would really help them out.

http://shop.ebay.com.au/wordburner/m.html has the list of items - more info in the item descriptions (pls pass on to others who might be able to help) (organized by LenOne & BiasB)

Call yourself a geek? Fancy some money to make some digital art, or help other people to discover their inner geek? If you answered yes, the Australia Council's Digital Culture Fund and Geek in Residence program may be just what you're looking for.

The Digital Culture Fund offers up to $40,000 for artists working with innovative technologies in a live context with a strong focus on audience engagement. The Geek in Residence program offers up to $25,000 towards a technically confident artist (or artistically confident technician) to work in an arts organization on a temporary subsidized placement.

To find out more you are invited to a series of special events taking place in major cities around Australia. You will have the chance to hear all about the work the Australia Council for the Arts is doing to support the digital era, find out more about these two funds, meet some of last year’s successful applicants and do some 'geek speed dating'.

Digital Culture Fund call announced

The Australia Council's Digital Culture initiative supports artistic projects exploring new concepts of liveness, connectivity and participation made possible with digital media.

Artists in the digital era are expanding possibilities for our engagement with the arts and culture through emerging technologies. In digital spaces artists transform live experience and participation for audiences and users. Through new ways of collaborating across technology, artists are building and sharing creative knowledge and culture across broader networks.

We encourage proposals for innovative digital culture projects with:

* artists and audiences co-creating new forms of live experience
* experimentation across platforms and to engage diverse communities with creative practice

This is a general call for contributions to Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture. Entering a new era with a new and expanded editorial and production team, Dancecult is extending its deadline on submissions for its next edition.

New deadline - December 20, 2010.

As the issue is hosting a special section on The Love Parade, submissions on this theme will be welcome, in both From the Floor and Feature article categories.

New Matilda is an online publication covering politics, social justice, environment and offering critical thought in the Australian media landscape.

Visit the New Matilda call for support page or go straight to the fundbreak page & make a donation if you can, to show your support. Let's help keep independent publications on-air & keep the conversations going.
