ROGUE TRADERS
The Rogue Traders sure know how to make an entrance. Two years may have passed since they last graced the Australian charts, but the electro-rock single that signalled their return, 'Voodoo Child', exploded across the airwaves with an immediacy that was breathtaking. It debuted in the Top 10 back in June and has been resident ever since. With its warped, insistent Hammond organ riff and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte's cracked, rock snarl, 'Voodoo Child' is already a pop classic in the making. But for Rogue Traders, the song was always more than just a single. "It was a signpost for the album", says Rogue Trader James Ash...

GABRIELLA CILMI
Gabriella Cilmi - the sensation of 2008 - has confirmed what her Melbourne fans have been waiting to hear... Gabriella will play a headline show at the Forum Theatre in her hometown this December!
Gabriella first performed for her Australian fans as support for James Blunt across the nation, and now she will return for one headline show in December in addition to her forthcoming Homebake performance.
2008 has undeniably been the year of Gabriella. Since the release of her platinum debut album Lessons To Be Learned, Gabriella has moved from strength to strength. Her single 'Sweet About Me' dislodged Madonna from the #1 spot, and remained there for six weeks, making Gabriella the youngest No.1 artist in Australia. The single peaked at #6 in the UK, ensuring her name would not soon be forgotten. |

RUSSELL MORRIS
In the late 1960’s Russell Morris became a teenage pop pinup idol with No.1 classic hits like “The Real Thing”, “Part 3 Into Paper Walls”, “Sweet Sweet Love”, “That Girl I Love”, “Wings Of An Eagle”, “Mr America” and “Rachael”. Now an Australian music biz cult hero, a host of hip young Australian bands such as “The Whipper Snappers” and “The Third Eye” have rediscovered his songs and brought them to the attention of a whole new generation. Cementing that even further was the success in 2001 of the Australian film “The Dish” which featured both his songs “The Real Thing” and “Wings Of An Eagle”. The film was a huge success in the USA and to top off such a successful year for Russell, top Australian band “Midnight Oil” also recorded a version of “The Real Thing”...
