REVIEW: Lee Hom (Music Man II Concert 2013)

Taiwanese singer, Wang Lee Hom, recently held his first ever concert in Australia, with Sydney as his first stop on his Music Man II 2013 tour and we were lucky enough to score two VIP tickets.

Like other late 80's kids, we were very much aware of Lee Hom's music and popularity. Songs such as Wei Yi and Ni Bu Zai were frequently hummed by friends and played in every mall and radio station. But I was decidedly not a fan and combined with my limited command of Mandarin, we were not sure what to expect. This concern turned out to be unwarranted, however. The show was, in one word, awesome.

Seal (Soul 2 Concert, April 28)

British soul singer and songwriter Seal performed last night at The Star Event Centre as part of his Soul 2 tour. Seal is perhaps best known as the "Kiss from a Rose" singer and for his elaborate Halloween costumes with supermodel ex-wife Heidi Klum. He is currently a judge on The Voice Australia.

Sydneysiders,

Sam Worthington (Man on Ledge, Terminator Salvation and that Blue Man Group movie) is heading to Australia in April to promote and answer questions about his latest project, Drift. Does Sam Worthington still have Australian accent, that is the question in everyone's mind and now you can get the answer to that.

Drift is a story about two surfer brothers set in remote Australia in the 70's. Watch the trailer here:
