What's On This Week

THEATREYoung Auckland playwright Thomas Sainsbury has had a prolific year, putting on two of his own plays already, and he is about to start a season of his most recent work, Beast. Sainsbury says he wrote the play after being inspired on many long drives around New Zealand at night. The tagline sets the scene: "Three siblings drive north, their car breaks down, they walk to the nearest town, and they are never seen again. This is their story." Ooh, creepy.Beast - The Basement, Lower Greys Ave, Auckland, July 2-6, 8pmROCKWhat originally began as a side project by a couple of members of cult Texas band At The Drive In has become The Mars Volta, a band known for their frenetic, genre-smashing, psychedelic, jazz-peppered, progressive rock. A mouthful indeed - things are looking good for a Thursday night like no other for those with an open musical mind. There are at least eight people in this noise machine, so expect a lot of action on stage.




Mars Volta - Logan Campbell Centre, Auckland, June 26BLUES/ROCKThe Black Keys bring their bluesy rock to Auckland on Saturday night. Guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney are an exciting band, delivering a raw, melodic sound. On this album they worked with uber-producer Dangermouse. "He does hip-hop, but he likes rock and roll, obscure 60s psychedelic stuff, and we listen to a lot of that too," says Dan.The Black Keys with The Vietnam War and People People - Powerstation, Auckland, June 28DANCE/DJMany lovers of dance music had some of their formative dance floor experiences at the Deep, Hard and Funky parties. After launching on K Rd, the party grew until it began attracting over 3000 people to the St James. For the party's 10th birthday, 6000 ravers are expected at Auckland's Vector Arena. As well as the international DJs, we recommend you also catch live drum 'n' bass act Antiform and local dance stalwart Bevan Keys.Deep, Hard and Funky - Vector Arena, Parnell, Auckland, June 28, Sold OutDANCE/DJWhile we're talking about celebrations, let's not forget about the dancefloor-inspiring exploits of The Turnaround crew over the past six years. The monthly party with resident DJs Manuel Bundy, Conch Records' Cian and The Submariner has taken over many Auckland venues with its wide-ranging hip-hop/funk/soul/reggae musical policy. Special guests for the crew's sixth birthday this Friday include DJs Mu (of Fat Freddy's Drop), Recloose and Stinky Jim.Turnaround Sixth Birthday - Bacco Room, Nelson St, Auckland, June 27FAMILY

Spice Girls - Ne-yo Turned Down Spice Girls For Rihanna

Singer/songwriter NE-YO was approached by the SPICE GIRLS to write tracks for their recent Greatest Hits album - but he turned them down in favour of working with RIHANNA.

The So Sick hitmaker was busy working with the Umbrella songstress when he received the call from the newly reformed girl band.

And the R+B star was forced to say no as he couldn't fit them into his hectic schedule.

He says, "The Spice Girls asked me to write some songs but I couldn't find the time.

"They wanted something for their comeback album but I never got round to getting it done. I was recording songs for Rihanna at the time."

Madonna�s Rep Addresses Marriage Break-Up Rumors

Madonna’s rep has lashed out at the ongoing speculation of a divorce between the Material Girl and her husband Guy Ritchie, saying there are “no plans” for a split.
The famous couple have made headlines recently with reports stating they had each hired lawyers to commence divorce proceedings and that Ritchie had flown to New York in an attempt to save his marriage.
Liz Rosenberg, Madonna’s longtime manager and friend, told People, “Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving).� There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”
She also addressed another tabloid report that alleged the singer was having an affair with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez saying, “Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary.� They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that.”
Rosenberg adds, “It’s nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna’s way lately � much of it untrue. By the way, rumors of Madonna and Lil Wayne are quite exaggerated, as well.”

A piece of artwork owned by U2 that was displayed in their recording studio, has now fetched more than �5 millions ($10 million) after going to auction at Sothebys in London yesterday (July 1st).


The piece is named 'Untitled (Pecho/Oreja)' and was bought originally by the Irish rock band 20 years ago in New York, after its creator artist Jean-Michel Basquiat died of a drugs overdose in 1988.


U2 bassist Adam Clayton picked-out this particular artwork, which then found a new home in their Dublin studio.


A spokesman for the auction house said a private buyer bought 'Untitled (Pecho/Oreja)' for �5,081,250.
