We told you to learn the dance – so did you perform in Rundle Mall?
The Common People Dance Project was performed during the Adelaide Street Theatre Festival last Saturday. And if you missed it… keep your ears and eyes peeled as we hear the music will be loud and clear another time during the Fringe!
Thanks to InDaily for the clip!

WHAT IS AMOCOCO?
Amococo is the amazing luminarium where you can walk through and chill out and relax. Everyone is invited, from children to adults and is wheelchair friendly. It’s open from 11am daily (closed Mondays) and we advise you to head down to Rymill Park early or on weekdays as only 80 people can be in Amococo at any one time. Closing times vary, so visit www.adelaidefringe.com.au for more information.

We just love what happens to the city during the Adelaide Fringe. More people out and about, being delighted at the huge number of performing and visual arts events – Adelaide really comes into it’s own. And another thing’s for sure, the Fringe doesn’t want you to forget about it for the duration of the festival which is why we’re inviting you to welcome our most recently landed citizens – look up, look around but keep looking – you never know where they are going to pop up next!

And don’t forget, the fifth element of the line up will be decided on Friday 5 Feb @ the SPIN OFF DJ Battle.
ART VS SCIENCE
There is a reason why night clubs play the music they do: it’s the right tempo for dancing, it’s got hook lines you can sing along to, and a beat steady enough hypnotise. Art vs. Science not only makes the sort of music played in nightclubs; it is one of the few outfits in Australia which can actually play in night clubs – live. No laptops, no backing tracks, just drums, keyboards, synths and three sets of funky hands.
“An expression of their long immersion in the dark, seedy recesses of club-electronica”, Art vs Science breathe fresh air into the genre, with an immediate, breath-taking live show, and songs that sound pleasing, joy-inducing; as if meticulously designed, element by element, to intensify user stimulation. Art vs. Science plays, people listen. And they *understand*.

KILLAQUEENZ
KillaQueenz are one of the most promising Hip Hop acts coming out of Australia right now. They are renowned for their high energy shows and unrivalled dedication to the art. Hailing from Uganda and Belize, Kween G and Belizean Bombshell draw inspiration from their respective homelands to bring a fresh sound to the Australian Hip Hop scene.
The girls first met at the 2000 Olympic Games where they were individually performing and through a passion of Hip Hop music KillaQueenz was formed. Since their formation KQ have performed across the country and supported the likes of Public Enemy, South Rakkas Crew, Lady Gaga, Shapeshifter, Tha Alkaholiks, Bone Thugs N Harmony, NASA, Lucky Dube and many more.
Their live performance consists of rhymes, beat boxing, dancing and the raw energy that only KQ can deliver. Expect the unexpected and keep it locked for KillaQueenz.
Check out: www.myspace.com/killarqueenz or their new clip for Double Up
THE KILLGIRLS
The Killgirls are a 5 piece rocktronic timebomb ticking in Adelaide, South Australia. This synth heavy indie grid-rock band are gaining momentum having picked up national airplay in Australia (Triple J-Home and Hosed/Super Request) and supports for Art vs Science, End of Fashion, Bang Bang Eche, Oh Mercy!, Hercules in NY and The Bumblebeez.
“..saw these guys at Fuse Fest this year – great energy – reminded me of Midnight Juggernauts but a hell of a lot more pumped up…” Nick Findlay, Triple J
“The Killgirls played an amazing set (supporting the Bumblebeez). Everyone rushed to the dance floor as soon as they came on and stayed there the entire performance. The front man had a real stage presence and I hope they start getting some real exposure because they have star quality.” Richard Holt, Traffik
Get ready for these home town heroes who know how to rock out!

CANVAS KITES
From the very recently smouldering, and unconfirmed ashes of Sydney sonic indie darlings Mercy Arms, comes another project with a sharp sensibility. Canvas Kites, a newly hatched three piece, sees vocalist/axeman Thom Moore swapping the brooding reverb pedal for something more akin to a sunny late-80s jangle.
Canvas Kites appear pretty damn dapper in their new skin, and are well schooled in the sounds they’re splashing round in. Look forward to seeing where the road leads these three!
