The Out Of Money Experience
Sophomore Album, Out Nationally on Friday April 9
Though the title might sound like a desperate plea for help in these trying times of economic uncertainty or, more predictably, the ‘old as the ages’ cliché of the starving artist, The Out Of Money Experience is really anything but. This much-anticipated sophomore album by The Optimen (The OPees to their friends – and they will take all the friends they can get) is the result of work: hard work. The sort of work that keeps you up late at night and makes you late for the next day’s “working for the man”. And it shows.

“Something Borrowed, Something Blue”
Georgia Fields is earnestly applying the finishing touches to her debut album. In the meantime, the charismatic songbird is releasing the second single from her forthcoming record, to tide us over until the winter LP release.
‘Something Borrowed, Something Blue’ intertwines the childlike naivety of experimental sounds with mature and considered orchestral arrangements. Romantic without dissolving into a swamp of twee, the track features a charmingly bizarre animal toy sample. B-sides include ‘Sinking Relation Ship’ – a mournful, maritime-y tale of a couple who are “falling apart like pavlova”… and the string-lush ‘Happy Accidents’, recorded in her cellist’s lounge room.

Co-produced by Katie and Grammy Award-winning rock specialist Nick Didia (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Stone Temple Pilots, Powderfinger), Emperor’s Box marks a return to some wonderful and familiar territory for Katie.

TUNES BY RAT VS POSSUM PEOPLE
Thursday night at Pony is gonna be like a 5 year old’s birthday party, with a jumping castle. That means it’s gonna be mad fun. Keith! Party is seven MC’s and one DJ playing roof-raising, rump-shaking rave-rap music, with video game bleeps, hardcore techno breakdowns, grimey riddims, supersonic breakbeats, obese basslines, anthemic choruses, a juvenile sense of humour and an endless supply of goofy energy. You’ll know them by the trail of streamers, confetti, balloons and party vibes! They’ll be joined Sydney’s Simo Soo, Baaddd and Mesa Cosa and to provide soundtrack to this night of mental-dom, we present to you the people from Rat vs Possum on DJ duties.
