MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!:
Imagine working hard for years at your business and you have a great bunch of regulars and along comes some unimaginative someone who covets what you have and possibly thinks – this must be easy – look at how well they are doing.
Possibly also thinking that by leeching on the tails of all your hard work all will be fine – who will know the difference between one and the other?

 THE RETURN OF KAKI KING:
After an extended break between Australian tours, Kaki King is returning with a new album; excited to again be performing in front of an audience that has warmly embraced her unique genius since her first visit back in 2007.
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a genre unto herself,” Kaki King is a true iconoclast, a visionary musician/artist whose singular work rightly stands out amongst the easily formatted.
Glow, her ground-breaking new release, is both indescribable and definitive, an evocative, exuberant collection of genre agnostic soundscapes, rich with wit, theme, and the inspired invention Kaki King is well-known for.
From the chamberesque “Great Round Burn” through the propulsive, Celtic-colored“King Pizel,” the album embraces a doggedly naturalist production ethos to showcase King’s protean song writing and mesmeric fret board genius.

 RED SHIELD APPEAL:
Support this year’s Salvos Red Shield Appeal
One of the most recognised and supported fundraisers on the Central Coast is The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, particularly, the Appeal’s doorknock weekend, when thousands of volunteers mobilise to collect door-to-door donations for The Salvos.
This year the Salvos Red Shield Appeal doorknock will be held over 25th & 26th May.
The Salvation Army’s work on the Central Coast gives hope to thousands of local people each year. The Salvo’s Red Shield Appeal raises vital funds to support local services in our region including the Dooralong Transformation Centre, Oasis Youth Centre at Wyong, Court Chaplain at Wyong, Family Tracing Service, local emergency services & housing relief, local counselling services & the Salvo’s Care Line.
“The Salvation Army spends over $3.6 million each year on Central Coast services,” said Louise Duff, Chair of the Central Coast Red Shield Appeal.
“We are still one of the few regions that spends more money than it raises, which means that the Central Coast is being propped up by donations from other regions, not just Sydney, but regional areas that are doing it tough,” she added.
The Central Coast can lend their support to the campaign in a number of ways including making a donation to the Appeal, or volunteering over the Appeal’s famous Doorknock Weekend, to be held this year on 25 & 26 May 2013.
“Get some friends together, even just for a couple of hours on either of the Doorknock Weekend days and hit the streets to collect for The Salvos,” said Louise.
“We also encourage local businesses to form staff teams, it’s a great way to bring the team together and contribute to the local community.”
“If you can’t volunteer to doorknock yourself, then please, give generously to the Red Shield Appeal when collectors come knocking,” she added.
Please contact The Salvation Army Central Coast on 02 4325 5614 to register your interest. Registration and donations can also be made via the website or by calling 13 SALVOS (725 867) |

 The great people from Kingdom Sounds / Taperjean Records / Select Touring Present
Vanna (USA) with Storm The Sky, Sierra, Hold Your Own and Heiress.
Sometimes, the road can actually feel like home for a band. It's only natural as the bulk of a musician's time is spent traversing the globe and playing countless cities in something of a whirlwind. Within that flurry, you'll come across some genuine characters. In turn, they become a part of your story, enriching it with their own quirks and nuances. Vanna singer Davey Muise likes to think of tho...se folks as The Few and the Far Between.
In addition to serving as the title for the group's fourth album and sophomore full-length for Artery Recordings/Razor & Tie, the phrase holds very a special significance for the vocalist.
"All of those people who have affected our lives on the road are The Few and the Far Between," he explains. "They make us who we are. We joke around that we wish we could compile all of them in one city and live there forever."
Ultimately, everyone is welcome to be a part of The Few and the Far Between. "We don't have fans," concludes Muise. "We have friends. We love what we do and want people to experience it with us. We're all struggling going through the same shit together. No one is truly alone."

 The Harbour Agency & Kingdom Sounds present:
THE BABY ANIMALS
Thursday the 20th of June - The Entrance Leagues Club
Tickets available Monday the 29th of April at 9:00am from www.kingdomsounds.oztix.com.au
You heard right, the Baby Animals are back with their third studio album, the first in twenty years. This Is Not The End will be released on Friday 31st May via Social Family Records. To celebrate the release of the album the band have announced today that they will tour the East Coast of Australia this June, with tickets going on sale from Monday 29th April.
It’s been two decades since their last full-length studio album and the Baby Animals strike a familiar pose with their enigmatic singer Suze DeMarchi and her talismanic guitarist Dave Leslie returning for action. They’re joined by rhythm section comprising of two familiar faces in Dario Bortolin on bass and Mick Skelton on drums.
This is Not the End is a genuine rock album with a return to classic Baby Animals form that their fans will love. The Perth-born singer and guitarist Dave Leslie have either penned or co-written all songs on this album, some of which draw on the break-up of Suze’s marriage with guitar hero Nuno Bettencourt. The album was produced by ARIA award-winning producer David Nicholas (INXS, Ash), and Nick DiDia (Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots) also lent his considerable skill on the record’s first single Email.
“I’m really, really proud of this album. I love every track and I can’t wait to perform these songs on tour. I love playing live; gigs really are the pay off. We want to go wherever this record takes us,” enthuses Suze.
This Is Not The End is the start of a new beginning for the band. They are thrilled to be releasing new material in this day and age, where the music industry has changed so dramatically since their last release.
“We feel more driven than we were when we were younger,” says Suze. “We decided to buck the system with this record and put it out independently. The music business is so stale right now, we wanted to do it differently. We’ve been able to really reconnect with our fans on social media.”
The path tread by Baby Animals has had some incredible high points. There were the many memorable hits which have included Early Warning, Rush You, Painless and One Word. The band’s eponymous album spent six weeks at No. 1 in Australia, converting platinum sales and selling over one million albums worldwide. There were ARIA Awards, international touring and friendships with Van Halen, Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers, and Bryan Adams. Suze has enjoyed the induction into the Western Australian Music Industry Association’s (WAMI) Hall of Fame. More than two decades have passed since the Baby Animals exploded onto the scene and today the band are standing taller, feeling more empowered and sounding even stronger than ever

 Select Music Present SOMETHING WITH NUMBERS; the "Eleven Eleven Album Tour" With Special guests:
Three years on from their last album ‘Engineering The Soul’, Central Coast rockers Something With Numbers stage a return with long-awaited album ‘Eleven Eleven’, and a national tour to support the hotly anticipated release! Kicking off on June 14 at the Mona Vale Hotel, Something With Numbers are set to take Australia by storm once again with the signature rock swagger that has been their trademark since day one.
Bursting with melody, ambitious hooks and sincere intent, ‘Eleven Eleven’ is a return to form for Something With Numbers. Featuring 11 killer tracks from a band filled with newfound energy featuring stomping glam falsettos (“Wild One”) to ballads of regret (“Summer”), dancefloor beats (“Harvard + Stone”) and straight up riffs (“Meant To Be”), ‘Eleven Eleven’ sees Something With Numbers returning bigger and better than ever. Recorded in October 2012 at Annandale’s Jungle Studios with producer Lachlan Mitchell (The Jezabels, The Whitlams and SWN’s 2004 debut, Etiquette) and mixed by Tim Carr, the album wears its heart on its sleeve, with vocalist Jake Griggs’ unmistakable voice pulling it all together into a true sonic experience. Something With Numbers’ live show is set to deliver on this tantalising spectrum of music and raw human emotion across the country.
An incredibly accomplished seven-year career (and life in between!) has culminated in Something With Numbers’ most introspective, and most striking, offering to date. Deeper, more personal, but still more rockin’ than ever, don’t miss out on witnessing these boys bring the house down!

 5 LANDS WALK 2013:
Walk With Us
Held in brilliant Central Coast winter weather, the Walk in 2012 had nearly 2000 walkers register, an an estimated 10,000 attending at least one of the more than 30 activities along the route.
The event is being increasingly promoted in Sydney and there was a much increased participation from there, and we welcomed our visitors from south of the Hawkesbury.
As always we asked walkers to complete a post event survey, and the results have given us good feedback on what people enjoy and the areas we can improve for next year.
But most who completed the survey seemed pretty pleased with the day – of the 682 people who rated their experience, 579 rated it “Excellent” – that’s 85%. Another 98 rated it “good”, so an incredible 99.3% rated it good or better.
As this is an entirely community-operated event, run by about 300 volunteers, that’s a “well done” to them for a fantastic effort. And thanks to our sponsors who provide the resources to back the volunteers.
Each Land is now planning its events, and we will again see the participation of the Aboriginal community and a wide range of ethnic groups from the Central Coast..
The 5 Lands Walk has been recognised by Central Coast Tourism as a "Flagship Event" on the Coast and Tourism NSW has provided a grant to assist in the promotion of the event in Sydney - so we will be welcoming many new friends from Sydney to our beautiful coastline and lively communities.
Sat 22nd June 2013, 9am onwards, Copacabana Surf Club Lawn
