Sound art, I here you say? Boooooring. It's all dudes sitting motionless behind laptops checking their email, yeah? Screw the nineties' laptop rock vibe; Kid A made sure that scene died in the arse. So, who's this Tim Hecker character then? Really, he rode the highs of 1996's 'experimental' craze, through the alt world's doom obsession of 2005 to stand, unscathed, as the fêted lord of ambient drone.

To celebrate the super dooper limited edition 12" vinyl release of their cosmic new jam Young, My Disco are joining forces with with Qua and New War for two nights of some seriously psychedelic laser kick jams.

Who says law students don't have a sense of humour? Because there's something about that godforsaken degree that breeds ridiculously hilarious individuals. It could almost be a by-product of reading 200-page McHugh judgments and the sub-zero airconditioning in the law school. Vigilantelope are a case in point, and this one-off fundraising event is your last chance to see them perform their award-winning show Tale of the Golden Lease before they take it to Adelaide for this year's Fringe Festival.
