The Sunday Rock and Blues Session at Y&J's is almost ONE YEAR old now. In the last year, it's quickly become the city location for Blues. Australia's best musicians have played their little hearts out, and Australias biggest fans of music (punters) have sung and air-guitared their little hearts out.
Artists have featured Chris Wilson, Phil Para, Nick Barker, The Wagons, Josh Owen, Kerry Simpson, Collard Greens and Gravy, Jimi Hocking and a PLETHORA of other brilliant musicians.
The Rock n Blues Session is FREE and supports Australias Live Music. Exceptional Music, and exceptional beer = Exceptionally happy punters.
Come and witness these brilliant acts over a cold beer.

If you are looking for laughs and lots of them, you can't go past the city of Melbourne! The Melb International Comedy Festival is winning hearts all across CBD venues such as Melb Town Hall, Hi-Fi Bar (the official festival club), the Forum, Athenaeum, Victoria Hotel and many others... Just a very mini-review of the festival so far - watch the very funny international guest Arj Barker as he philosphizes about his single status (the delivery of the comparison of his brother's new-born baby and his daily creation of the toilet kind is side-splitting); get some insights on Charlie Pickering's country travels as he talks about ducks; be thoroughly entertained by Des Bishop as he takes you on his life journey from being an altar boy to a Christian non-believer (his intensity when he delivers his punchlines is mesmerisingly hilarious); be comically offended by Chopper (aka Heath Franklin)'s "deadshit" antics (the live beer gag - don't worry, I won't give away the exact logistics of it - has to be seen to be believed); discover the true meaning of some of the most popular Aussie slangs (according to an Irish man) when Jason Byrne finds a root in the wrong places; immerse into Jo Stanley's world of gossip mags as she sings, dances, teases, and gags about the trashy celebrity universe; and let Akmal & Joel Osborn delivers you to an arena of irreverence and indulge you in some ballistic backpacking adventures (Joel's Forrest-Gumpesque observations on life - "....life is like being a boat on a pond of shits..." - is acutely acurate yet painstakingly funny)...
And all of the above is only but the tip of the comedy iceberg - there's also Hughesy, Will Anderson, Jeff Green, the Tripods, the Umbilical Brothers and many many more... Laughter is the best medicine, so whatever your ills, take a dose of cackles at the Melb International Comedy Festival and I can guarantee an instant recovery!

One half of the 90's hit R'n'B group Zhane, Renee Neufville, absolutely rocked the house at Groovalicious, Saturday night at Watermark Bar, Docklands last week. Performing all of Zhane's big hits such as "Hey Mr DJ" and "Groove Thang"; the packed crowd cheered, sweated, danced and jived to Renee's series of perfect performance. She then told the crowd of her new venture and a new solo single on the horizon - here's hoping it will be as good as some of the vintage Zhane soulful classics... By Antony Young

Though this cool venue has only been opened for a short time, it has already attracted a number of profiled djs, artists and now a big-name alcohol company to hold events at its space. The Absolut 15 event is a gathering (and blending) of Melbourne's hottest and emerging DJs in the one place where each artist is given a mere 15 minutes to display their skills in front of a selected group of invited guests. A very innovative concept that deserve to take off - there should be more of these talent-uncovering sessions to unearth Australia's future Grant Smilie's and Kid Kenobi's... Big pat on the back for Absolut for supporting the party! Words & Pics by Antony Young

QV was buzzing with excitement on Friday afternoon with the sight of skaters, graffiti artists and breakdancers and the groovy sound of KISSFm... It was a day aptly titled "Extreme Day Out" showcasing some of the hot action by world-renowned skaters who "flew", twisted, turned and jumped in the wide space of QV... Then the breakdancers extraorindares "Wicked Force Breakers" turned the thermometer up another notch with an energetic showcase! Words & Pics by Antony Young

The first blockbuster of the US Summer season has been unleashed onto the Australian territory at a VIP Premiere attended by the likes of Lauren Newton & Matt Welsh, Adam Richard, Adam Yze, Matt McGuire and Neighbours cast. With their kids in tow - Tanya Hird, Robert Harvey, William McInnes, and weatherman Mike Larkan were also part of the big pack of personalities who came out to check out Spidey, MJ, Harry Osborn, Sandman and Venom in action for the first time in Oz! Being a not-so-avid comic fan, I went into the movie with a mediocre level of interest but came out incredibly excited about this intelligent special-effects-laden (the skyscraper scenes were simply sensational) action flick. Sam Raimi has created a superb "commercial action blockbuster" with heart and humour (check out Peter Parker's "Saturday Night Fever rendition), and by far, the best in the trilogy. The only other comic action sensation that comes close in terms of Spiderman 3's unrivalled quality of storyline, action and cast is the recent Batman Begins. The world will be once again be wonderously weaved by the web of Spiderman! Review and photos by Antony Young
