It was only a matter of time before Lil B released a "classical music" album. Here it is, the gloriously titled Choices and Flowers , 17 instrumental tracks (including one called "At the Zoo With Mom" and another called "Wooden Hotel") now available for $9.99 on iTunes . Not a mixtape! Naturally : "THE BASEDGOD" HAS MADE HISTORY TODAY HE PRODUCED AND COMPOSED HIS WHOLE CLASSICAL MUSIC ALBUM! HISTORY!! "CHOICES AND FLOWERS" - Lil B". Now we can only sit back and wait for California Boy , the BasedGod's rock album. Watch his latest music video, "All My Life":

For a band that describes their sound as "a chainsaw playing along with Huey Lewis and the News", Tape/Off (Nathan Pickels, Luke Zahnleiter, Brenton Maybury and Branko Cosic) have produced a slick track for QUT's 100 Songs in 100 Hours project! Having already released two EPs, the excellent Unreel Unravel and ...and Sometimes Gladness showcasing a crush of reverb-saturated lo-fi and driving backline, 'Believe in You' doesn't sound like a band who met while listening to Slayer at ear-shearing volumes. Produced by Julian Knowles, the band says that the recording wasn't too different to their usual ...

Toowoomba singer-songwriter Bart Thrupp (pictured) keeps it real by singing about love and working on the checkout, and is about to launch a new single called Everything You Own with a date at the Indie Rock Party at The Zoo on Friday May 25. Far From Paris , Chris Timms , Night Time Fiona , Stone Fox and Only Just also appear.

The Zoo - Thu May 17 Walking into The Zoo tonight it’s terribly disappointing to find that only a handful of punters have turned out. Of course there are no big names playing, but the desire to support local Brisbane bands seems to be continually dwindling. Naturally it’s even more disheartening when local act Tramp Fiesta show up with some blistering songs that run along indie trend lines but also evoke a jangly Mexican feel, much like their name suggests. The band gel incredibly well, they sw ...

Das Greenville Festival gibt vier neue Künstler bekannt, die sich dieses Jahr vom 27. bis zum 30. Juli in Paaren/Glien die Ehre geben. Zuletzt wurde neben den erprobten Rockern Donots ebenfalls das Singer/Songwriter-Kollektiv We Invented Paris bestätigt ( motor.de berichtete ). Nun vergrößert zusätzlich die britische Countryfolk-Sängerin Gemma Ray das Line Up. Sie wird von Kritikern als " Norah Jones auf Amy Winehouse 's Drogen" beschrieben. Ebenso spannend ist das ehemalige Schulband-Quartett The Kabeedies, das seinen poppigen Rockabilly-Sound in diesem Sommer auch auf die Bühnen des Greenville Festivals tragen wird. Von den vier Männern alias Dinosaur Truckers gibt es mit ...

Hamburg calling - wieder einmal erweitert das MS Dockville seinen Timetable mit neuen Künstlern. Zuletzt vergrößerte sich das vielfältige Line-up bereits in Form der Pop-Newcomer Me And My Drummer, sowie des britischen Indietronic-Trios We Have Band ( motor.de berichtete ). Auch der neue Bandschwall zeigt eine große Bandbreite an Musikstilen. Für den hanseatischen Singer/Songwriter-Charme sorgt Niels Frevert mit seinem aktuellen Langspieler "Zettel Auf Dem Boden" im Gepäck. Daneben bringt der geheimnisvolle, maskierte Elektronik-Künstler o F F Love die Tanzmeute zum Kochen. Außerdem zeigen Boy & Bear mit ihrer Mischung aus rollenden Drums, krächzenden Gitarren und schwärmerischen Melodien weshalb sämtliche Konzerte von ihnen ...

After successfully launching his new single “Everything You Own” in his hometown of Toowoomba, Bart Thrupp is bringing his show to Brisbane!

Insane German boundary-pushers The Ocean (pictured) are travelling down to Australia for the first time and when they stop in Brisbane at The Zoo on Thursday May 24, they’ll be sharing a stage with a wicked crop of local and national bands – summery synth-metal crew Nuclear Summer, fantastic local drone/doom crew No Anchor and Sydney’s Lo!, whose debut full-length Look And Behold was one of the best Australian records of last year. The show is must-see for fans of forward-thinking heavy music. ...

The Zoo – Thu May 10 After a couple of recent shows in Brisbane, it would appear that local lads The Cairos are at it again; ever vigilant and keen to impress. Their rise to fame has earned them quite a neat little rep and the density of the crowd attests to this. Their classic indie pop speaks for itself and the on-key melodic pinings of frontman Alistar Richardson are nothing short of amazing. Fringe flicking becomes a motif of the evening as dishevelled locks impede vision across the ...

The Zoo - Tue May 8 The Tuesday night after a long weekend doesn’t exactly scream ‘party’, and the crowd here at The Zoo is decidedly lethargic as first support Gung Ho arrive on stage (although I personally was enjoying the incongruous house music, Little Richard anyone?). In my opinion, Gung Ho’s music loses some of its potency in recorded form, so it’s great to see them here in squealing, funky, high-energy live form. The band have been getting a lot of great write-ups and support spots all ...

The Zoo - Sun May 13 Melbourne’s The Smith Street Band starts tonight’s show, and their rugged take on melodic punk rock appears to go down well with those who have rocked up early. With three guitarists driving things forward, and their booze-soaked tales of frustration delivered by the baritone of Wil Wagner, it shows why this band is being talked about so much at the moment. From the banks of the Mississippi in Iowa, William Elliott Whitmore brings his brand of blues to the stage, with only ...

Self-Release/Independent 2012 When British heavy metal band Slander released their lone album, “Careless Talk Costs Lives”, in 1991 little did anyone know that it would go on to become a cult classic. Here it is now in 2012 and the band (who reunited in 2009) are finally working on a proper follow-up. In the meantime Slander are shortly due to release a covers EP, "Get Em Slandered", as a way to introduce their new members. The band is currently made up of new lead singer Si Staples, guitarist Andy Saxon-Lamb, new bassist Pete Hewitt and drummer Andy "Eddie" Edwards ...

New music promotion and events company wearetheindustry’s very first showcase will be taking place on Thursday May 17 with an awesome line-up taking the stage at The Zoo, including Joel Myles & The Jetpack Academy (pictured), Turner , The Incredible Kicks and Tramp Fiesta . Doors open at 7:30pm with presale tickets $8+bf or $12 on the door.

Monica took a break from promoting her album New Life and enjoyed some family time with her favorite boys at Jungle Island zoological park in Miami on Tuesday. The R&B; songstress, her husband Shannon Brown, and sons Rocko and Romelo got up close with the wildlife. They met a monkey named Smokey, held a red [...]

After hitting the road in April, The Incredible Kicks will be wrapping up their tour in Brisbane, delivering a taste of what’s to come, with their brand new single –“Any Excuse”.
