Brad Cox Postpones June New Zealand Tour To November
While the Wellington show unfortunately won't be going ahead this time, Christchurch and Auckland tickets will remain valid for the new November dates. Refunds for Wellington tickets are available through the original points of sale, and Brad sincerely thanks all his Wellington fans for their support and understanding.
Brad Cox shares:
"Hey everyone, Coxy here. Unfortunately, I've had to postpone my NZ dates to November for unforeseen circumstances, but the good news is we have added some new shows in the South Island. Unfortunately, we cannot make the Wellington date work now. Christchurch and Auckland tickets will be valid for the new dates, and I really look forward to partying with you in November. A full refund will be available from your points of sale if required. As this tour poster states, I 'really do love NZ,' and as unfortunate as it is to have to postpone, it actually means I'll be able to spend a bunch more time in your beautiful country with your beautiful people.'
The rescheduled New Zealand tour supports Brad's fourth studio album, Endemic Intelligence In Multiple Dimensions, out Friday, September 26. The 15-track album promises a bold new chapter in Cox's artistic evolution - unfiltered, emotionally raw, and sonically adventurous.

Home and Away, Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon dies aged 56
Julian McMahon, the Australian actor best known for roles in Marvel's Fantastic Four movies and television series FBI: Most Wanted and Nip/Tuck, has died aged 56. The son of former prime minister Sir William McMahon passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, according to a statement issued by McMahon's wife, Kelly, to US website Deadline. McMahon had endured a private battle with cancer. "With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer," Kelly McMahon said. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. ADVERTISEMENT "His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible." Locally, McMahon was known for playing Ben Lucini in the television soap opera Home and Away. He also starred in the US series Charmed and Profiler and was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor in a small-screen series for his work on Nip/Tuck. McMahon appeared opposite Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce in the 2018 Australian comedy movie Swinging Safari. His most recent work included mystery miniseries The Residence, which screened on Netflix earlier this year, and Stan Original series The Surfer, co-starring Nicolas Cage, released in May. Sir William McMahon, a Liberal, became Australia's 20th prime minister in March 1971, when McMahon was just two. His mother, Lady Sonia McMahon, was an heiress, socialite and fashion icon. ADVERTISEMENT The couple also had two other children. McMahon was married briefly to singer and actor Dannii Minogue in the 1990s after they met on the set of Home and Away. He married Baywatch star Brooke Burns in 1999, with the couple welcoming daughter Madison in 2000 before separating in 2001.

Brisbane Alt-Country/Indie Rock Group Halfway Release Their New Album The Styx
Halfway have been a band for quarter of a century, and across that time they've made eight studio albums, each of which has received a wealth of critical acclaim. From their origins in 2000, Halfway have developed their style and songs into cinematic soundscapes, lush with pedal steel, densely layered guitars, and driving rhythms. Halfway's new album, The Styx, features the return to the fold of band co-founder Chris Dale after a six-year absence, and contributions from guests including Chris Abrahams (The Necks, Midnight Oil) and Adele Pickvance (The Go-Betweens). A concept album of sorts, The Styx is situated in a remote Australian coastal town during the Christmas of 1986 and explores themes of family, isolation, love, and betrayal. " Growing up, my family would spend time at Stanage Bay in Central Queensland, which is a small fishing village situated to the southeast of the Styx River. It was a remote and beautiful place," reflects Busby. He didn't know anything about Greek mythology but saw the beauty and the danger there just the same. On fishing trips with his father and a cast of characters who might have walked out of the pages of a John Steinbeck story, he must have heard a hundred times: 'People drown in here.' Seeds were planted. ' The whole Stanage Bay / Styx River area, and the people there, are a big part of this record. When some of the band and our friends started to inform the songs, I knew I had to set it at the bay,' says Busby. ' It's a place full of beauty and mystery. I had been wanting to base a story there for a long time.' There is nothing mythic about these stories of love, lust, longing, and leaving, which feel as real as an errant fishhook deep into flesh. Brothers George and Lennie are the kind of hard-bitten characters who might be found in stories by Steinbeck or Richard Flanagan, battling the elements and themselves and always with an eye out for the fishing inspectors. Just before daylight, Lennie goes to check the nets. He doesn't return. The recording of the album took on a different form for the band, who recorded themselves in Brisbane before Mark Nevers (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Lambchop, Calexico, George Jones) shaped the mix of the songs at his South Carolina studio, with Busby alongside him. ' We usually just record live in a room, but this one started quietly. Just my guitar and vocals, layering it track by track, and then recording the drums last. A weird back-to-front album, but it gave us the chance to put the story / songs first rather than concentrate on how the songs would work live.' The sound the band has concocted is one of sweeping beauty and sonic grace, both heartfelt and tragic. Guitar strings and keys wash across the speakers, like the ocean breeze and the river tide. Drawing on the influence of bands such as The Triffids and Phosphorescent, Halfway seamlessly blend alt-country and indie rock sensibilities, providing the songs with a hypnotic and compelling backdrop to these poetic tales from the Australian coastline. The album's first single,' The Palace ', features heart-wrenching pedal steel, courtesy of Noel Fitzpatrick, Elwin Hawtin 's solid backbeat and those chiming, hypnotic guitars (John Willsteed, Chris Dale, John Busby) that Halfway do so well. Vocal melodies duck and weave, hanging in the air with a melancholic grace as Busby delivers his lyrics amid the exquisite and atmospheric alt-country sprawl. Courtesy of an endlessly played cassette of The Queen is Dead, bought at Kmart in Rockhampton, 'The Palace' " pays homage to The Smiths and to dreaming even in the most remote places," says Busby. "It's a song for the outliers and people living in the margins." The second single, ' Matches ', written by Busby and bassist Ben Johnson, creaks and shimmers to life courtesy of its gently sparkling guitars and atmospheric keys. Drums enter the fray as the music swells and expands into an evocative sound akin to the best of Mercury Rev, where musical dreams and memories coexist. " The coals of a fire are neither flame nor ash. 'Matches' sits in the space between ignition and extinction, rooted in uncertainty," says Johnson. " The stories of The Styx inhabit that uncertain ground where nothing is fully on or off, alive or gone. What begins as fire ends as cinders and lingers softly afterward." As in their songs, as in life. Love lost and found, the pain and the hope, the past and the landscape ever-present. Great songwriting often finds a way to make the deeply personal feel universal. Few bands navigate that path as surely as Halfway across their nine timeless albums.
