The Midnight Juggernauts have released their new album Dystopia and will be playing their wicked electro-prog beats to a SOLD OUT Cambridge Hotel at Newcastle tonight!!!
The album DYSTOPIA is an experience that comes to your living room right from the dance floor of hell! They have fused echoes of prog rock, electro beats to electrocute and dramatic flourishes to high success and has been described as "the catalyst to a nationwide movement".
This show is being organised by Ruffneck Promotions, which is responsible for Groovin the Moo. In fact thats the last time the Midnight Juggernauts were down this way. If you were lucky enough to squeeze into the dance tent that night and you scored a ticket, congrats!!!

Midnight Juggernauts at the Cambridge SOLD OUT
Amathyst record with Nick Launay!
Although this is old news, people of Coreatorium might not know this.
Amathyst are an all girl goth-rock band from Newcastle. If your going to jump to conclusions about this band, you may aswell jump into oncoming traffic. Their live set is electrifying and they recorded a while back with producer Nick Launay.
To put it quite bluntly, the man is a freaking genius and has worked with John Lydon (Public Image Ltd), Talking Heads, Kate Bush, Silverchair, Lou Reed, Midnight Oil, Nick Cave (Grinderman, Bad Seeds, Birthday Party) and the list goes on.
The track EMILY is a rambunctious mix of the gap between hard rock and metal filled with an arsekicking low end and Renee and Kristy's contrasting yet effective vocal deliveries. You can check out the track for yourself on their Triple J Unearthed page, where I implore you all to download it for your iPods! Downloads on Triple J's Unearthed page will help Amathyst to climb the charts and you can do so by clicking here.
Hopefully this dynamic combination continues and rears its potential soon enough in the future.

Angelas Dish Interview!
Hey guys whats going on, Who am I talking to and what part do you play in Angelas Dish?
You're talking to mike and i sing and play guitar in AD
How long have you guys been together and what has been biggest highlight?
We've been together since 2004, probably biggest highlight was playing at the Horden, sold out! or recording our album, thats something we're proud of.
Who would be your biggest influence in both National and International music?
Aus bands like The living End, crowded house, paul kelly and OS bands like Jimmy Eat world, Oasis and The Goo Goo dolls
Your on Boomtown records which seems to be getting bigger and bigger each day, how do you get along with the other bands on the roster, considering most play music nothing like yours?
We get along well with most of the guys in other bands but to be honest we dont see a lot of them anymore, everyones always on tour and even when they're home and we're home we're miles from any of them. It feels good to be on the label but, its a family.
The Central Coast scene has been giving us huge acts recently such as yourselfs, Something With Numbers and In The Grey what do you think the key to success is?
I think you've really just got to be yourself with your songs, and do it cuz you love it not for any other reason. Then if you're lucky enough you might get a brake.
Who is your favourite local band to play with and why?
After The Fall, we just get along with them like we've been friends for years. In Fact their Bassist is now my neighbour so its pretty cool.. he understands when we're really loud with our guitars and i understand that he's really loud when he parties.
Whats your favourite song to play live?I dont really have a favourite. i like seeing people react to our songs so i guess the more popular songs are a bit of fun to play. but different people like different songs so its always interesting.
Recently you announced to fans that three tracks of War On Time will be Re-mixed by Mark Needham who is responsible for the new My Chemical Romance album and some songs off The Killers first album, why did you guys get such a high profile engineer.
Why? well to be honest we know some people that know some people that actually made it really affordable... and he's a great engineer. We love 'Mr Brightside', its one of our favourite songs and to get the guy responisble for that mix onto our songs was a dream come true.
Whats the most annoying thing about the scene today?Artist dont like to be pigeon holed, but consumers need music to fit into a category.
As a band you cant fight the 'scene' you're in and a lot of bands try. It becomes confusing and at the end of the day you dont need to have a 'emo scene' liscence or any other 'scene' badge to walk into JbHi-Fi and buy an AngelasDish CD... anyone can.
What has been your favourite show ever?
Opening for Jimmy Eat world at the Metro in Sydney, that was literally playing along side our hero's.
What can we expect to see from Angelas Dish in the future?
You can expect to see hit album after hit album... or you'll see us working at the local chicken shop for the next five years? who knows really...
Well guys I guess thats it for the Interview, Anything you wish to add?
Just like to plug our new single 'Soft November' which will be in stores Oct 27. please go buy it.. xThankyou.

Shades of Autumn
The lads from Maitland have scored a support gig with Angela's Dish at the Maitland Clubhouse on Friday 24th of August. This weekend!!!!
It is for their regional tour, which is extending all over Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. They have started to a huge rise since their win at the MYMC Band Comp just a couple of months ago.
Short Stack are also playing. Tickets are $10, I think you can get them from the Clubhouse at 41 Elgin St Maitland, NSW 2320. Probably from the bands aswell, check out the Shades of Autumn myspace.
Shutter Interview!
Coreatorium:What part do you play in Shutter, and what sort of music do you guys play?
Aiden, Shutter:I sing and play bass, and we're kind of alternative rock/indie.
Coreatorium:How long have you guys been together and in that time what have been you best highlights?
Aiden, Shutter:We came together at the end of 2005 for a friends 18th just to play as a covers band. Then we started jamming on some originals, and before we knew it we had a set of 5-6 songs. My best highlight would have to be our 2nd placing at Mt. View High's Battle of the Bands Competition in April 2007. But pretty much any gig where the kids are getting into it and we play well is a highlight.
Coreatorium:Ok cool, Your obvioulsy in a scene where there isnt many similar artists like yours, How do you feel about this?
Coreatorium:Yeah, thats the main problem with the Newcastle scene, is the lack of originality, Something that you guys try to avoid I guess?
Aiden, Shutter:Yeah true. But we don't go out of our way to be original. We try to mix different sounds and styles from all the bands we listen to, but at the same time put our own mark on them. You can't force originality, it just comes from the little things, like the way you play, stage presence and your attitude towards the music. And some of the 'scene' bands that are playing at the moment are like "f**k yeah, we'll throw a breakdown in here, and a blast beat there" and we'll crack the bigtime like Parkway did. Some bands think they can make it just by sounding the same as others, but hey i guess pubs need cover bands.
Coreatorium:Lol True, Yeah im really getting sick of tired of seeing Parkway and Prom Queen shirts all the time at show, I think Prom Queens break up was a blessing to the scene in someways, Anyway when can we expect to see some new Material such as an EP?
Aiden, Shutter:Ahh, well we recorded 4 new demo's a few months back for that NockRock compilation CD which was funded by CYEC (Cessnock Youth Entertainment Committee) so we'll have those on our myspace very shortly. But in terms of an EP, we're kind of unsure as a band where we want to go next. We've got 5-6 new songs that sound completely different to our older material, so when we do bring those songs out. I think people will have something sounding a bit more dancier then our previous offerings.
Coreatorium: Cant wait to hear it, What would you say your favourite song to play live is?
Aiden, Shutter:Probably some of the new stuff. It's always fun to play the older songs though, like 'Take Me' and 'View From the Sun', cause I've noticed some people start singing along and getting into them.
Coreatorium:Yeah there great songs, Who would be your favourite local band to play with and why?
Aiden, Shutter:We've built some good friendships with a few local bands such as, Black Entity (awesome stage presence), Shades of Autumn (catchiest pop-choruses, good mates), and in the earlier days, Harmartia (drinking buddies and wicked stage presence, but no longer together) & Shuns The Light (ex-In-Transit -awesome live band, all amazing musicians). But its always fun seeing any good live band play.
Coreatorium:True True, Well thats about all the questions I got to ask, any upcoming gigs you would like to plug before you go?
Aiden, Shutter:Just the ones on our myspace. www.myspace.com/shutteraus Thanks mate.
Coreatorium:Cheers man

Kettles - New Song
Kettles, fronted by the virtuoso Aaron Jolly, has released a new demo track exclusively to the Kettles' myspace page.
The track instictively fuses Jolly's harmonious voice with a boisterous new tune. The track "Maybe" is a welcomed departure from Kettles' first album, which can be downloaded in full here. Enjoy.
The Butcher
The Butcher have recently finished their demo and will be available from Abicus, located on Darby Street. They will also be selling it at their next line of gigs. Their music cross-pollinates cerebral lyrics, haunting ambience and post-punk qualities but is not confined to them. I throughly recommend you attend one of their latest gigs, listed below.

Ben, After Bloodshed: kk, After Bloodshed, i play guitar and do soft vocals, and we're like Screamo/Metalcore (amity affliction)
Coreatorium: Ok, So obviously your heavily influenced by fellow aussie metalcore, Hardcore, Who would you call your biggest influence in both the international and local scene?
Ben, After Bloodshed: Well international, our top 3 i think would have to be The Amity Affliction, The Devil Wears Prada & Still Remains, and locally would probably be As Silence Breaks or our mates Black Entity (who i also play for)
Coreatorium: Cool, how did you go about in gettin yourself in black entity?
Ben, After Bloodshed: well, im pretty good mates with all the bandmembers, and after the leaving of darby, i was asked to help out, and eventually the welomed me and a permanent guitarist
Coreatorium: Mad, When can we expect to hear some new tunes from After Bloodshed?
Ben, After Bloodshed: hopefully soon, we're still writing some music that fits the new genre, and still piecing it together and getting some stuff down with the new members, but we're doing it all fairly fast, so we should be in the studio to record wioth old habits soon
Coreatorium:I also notice some new members, who are they, and how do they add there own distinct features to the band?
Ben, After Bloodshed: well, we have anew guitarist vocalist, and keyboardist, Guitarist is scott maclean, who is really good at writing riffs and has a good sense of music, Brant - vocals who hasnt been in a band before but has a pretty impressive vocal range for someone who still time for their vocals to develop, and Beau maclean, scotts little bro on keyboard, who brings a more melodic theme to thew music, as well as
Ben, After Bloodshed: a dramatic sense
Coreatorium: Sounds good, Hey man whats in your cd player at the moment?
Ben, After Bloodshed:ummmm, Devil Wears Prada's new album Plagues
Coreatorium: Download? lol
Ben, After Bloodshed:haha
Ben, After Bloodshed:shhh
Coreatorium: So you guys got any up and coming gigs?
Ben, After Bloodshed:actually no , but i suppose thats good because we're probably not quiteready with the new members
