Metrik
In Demand
Tom Mundell used to run an internet radio station from his bedroom in his early teens. It was here that he received drum’n’bass CDs in the post and one which caught his attention and essentially led him to where he is today was Bad Company’s remix of Q Project’s track Champion Sound. ANNABEL MACLEAN chats with Mundell, aka Metrik, about his upcoming Between Worlds Tour, his love for sci-fi and working with ShockOne.

THE USED
Vulnerable
Anger Music Group / Hopeless Records
The Used are one of those bands with an eternally devoted massive fan-base, despite going downhill somewhere after 2004’s In Love And Death. Whether you were in touch with your emo-punk side or not, that album and 2002’s self-titled were undeniably awesome. Skip over the primarily average Lies For The Liars And Artwork, and nearly a decade on McCracken and his band have released their fifth studio album, Vulnerable, and it sure is a mixed bag.

THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE
All our Christmases have come at once as New Zealand’s fourth most popular musical comedy duo Flight Of The Conchords have finally announced an Australian tour. Since the last time Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement were in Australia they: did a radio series for BBC, went to SXSW, did a sitcom for HBO, and released a couple of albums through Sub Pop among other things. Oh, and McKenzie won an Oscar this year for his work on The Muppets. No biggie. They bring their 1987 Casio DG-20 and their swag of classic comedy tracks to Challenge Stadium on Wednesday, July 18. Tickets go on sale from Ticketmaster on Tuesday, April 17, or if you’re a Frontier Member, you can score your tickets from tomorrow! |

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
It has been a long time between drinks for Sydney electro outfit Van She. But the wait is over as they return this month with the title track from their forthcoming record Idea Of Happiness (set to drop in early June), which comes a whopping four years since their debut V. Given it’s been a while since the glam quartet got up close and personal with fans, they’ll be road-testing their new tunes on a small tour around Oz this April, including a WA show on Sunday, April 15, at Down The Rabbit Hole (at The Court Overflow). Tickets are available from Moshtix. Stillwater Giants, Parachute Youth, Flume and more also appear.
