Question: what do Axl Rose of Guns N’Roses, The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, TV/radio presenter Chris Evans, The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, Huey Morgan of Fun Lovin’ Criminals, The Feeling’s Dan Gillespie, Sophie Ellis Bextor and at least 30 million other people around the world have in common?

Answer: they are all 10cc fans.

The missing link between The Beatles and the Gorillaz, 10cc ruled the pop world at a time – the 1970s – when the charts were dominated by some of the most creative and colourful artistes in history.

10cc stood for the kind of heightened pop sensibility achieved only by the very greatest producing hits such as "Dreadlock Holiday, I'm Not In Love, Wall Street Shuffle, Things We Do For Love, Rubber Bullets, I'm Mandy Fly Me, The Dean And I, Life Is Minestrone, Art For Art's Sake & Donna"

“This is as near as you’re ever going to get to hearing the perfect 10cc. Hit after hit after hit.

Two of Australia’s favourite artists are coming together to perform at The Mac's Hotel.

Both Ian Moss and Daryl Braithwaite are iconic names in Australia’s musical history and now have very successful solo careers.

Join us in what will be a memorable night.

Melbourne's progressive heavy music scene is in fine form in 2012 and how better to celebrate than to combine the force of three of its finest on an impressive triple bill. This March, longstanding genre leaders Twelve Foot Ninja and Jericco will be joined by newcomers, Circles on the national 'Swarm Tour'.

Twelve Foot Ninja suspected their live performance was sufficiently honed when they were invited to support international acts Periphery (US) and Tesseract (UK) last year, and prompted Periphery founder /guitarist Misha Mansoor to tweet jubilantly “Twelve Foot Ninja are basically one of the best live bands I have ever seen in my life.

Meanwhile, after three years together, 137 blistering live shows, 8 festival appearances and a stack of sold-out headlining gigs, alternative rock maestros Jericco are gearing up to offer their adoring fan base a taste of things to come.

Finally, relative newcomers Circles, will lend their unique take on progressive metal to the 'Swarm Tour' bill.

Don’t miss this phenomenal bill of Melbourne's finest as it rolls into your town this March.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets knocked out!” Growing up on the NSW south Coast CALLING ALL CARS’ front man Haydn Ing, and man-machine drumming brother James, had heard the same line from their parents on an almost daily basis.

And so it was that the first voice that Haydn heard when he came to after a Spinal Tap type incident at Sydney Big Day Out was his brother James. But by then it was too late. The damage had been done.

Proving more prophetic for Calling All Cars than any claim by Nostradamus, the Calling All Cars lead vocalist had been knocked unconscious early in the bands set by a stray elbow delivered with UFC type precision by an over enthusiastic punter.

After opening with a blistering version of ‘Disconnect’, the track that kick started theirdebut album “Hold, Hold’ Fire”, Calling All Cars trademark choruses and monster rock riffs were blaring through the massive Big Day Out PA. The band and crowd we’re locked and loaded for something special, and Calling All Cars were delivering!

Chocolate Starfish, one of Australia’s most successful bands of the 1990s is back and working on new material.

Widely regarded as the best live band of their era, Starfish arrived smack bang in the middle of grunge and refused to fit the mould. It was all about great music and putting on a killer show. No shoe gazing for these rockers.

Entertainment, theatre and melodrama.

Led by vocalist Adam Thompson, a Chocolate Starfish gig is like a crazed aerobic session.
