Tulsa was born on the northern beaches of Sydney but was raised by nomadic, creative parents in Oklahoma, California and Hiroshima. She now lives in France. A grand-daughter of the late best-selling novelist, Morris West, she has been featured as an actress in the short film, Hide and Seek, directed by Fiona McGee and produced by Ruby Smallbone, and was once the face of Milk & Honey's Designed By Ruby Rose collection.

Originally from Flower Mound, Texas, but now based in Oklahoma City, Horse Thief has been wowing audiences south of America’s Manson-Nixon line with rock that’s as much psycho as psychedelic. They’ve been described as the ‘next Kings of Leon’ – another Oklahoma band – but after electrifying perfomances at 35 Conferette and this year’s SXSW festival, they’ve earned a cadre of their own fanatical fans across the country. Horse Thief’s songs are edgy and emotionally compelling. ‘It’s about losing yourself in the sound and creating an experience that sticks with you long after the show is over’, says frontman Cameron Neal. Australian audiences will be able to judge for themselves with the imminent release of Horse Thief’s debut album, Grow Deep, Grow Wild.

Since its opening in 1997, Bordeaux’s Apollo Bar has become the throbbing heart of a city whose renovation and revitalisation over the past decade has been nothing short of remarkable. It now vies with rougher, more ethnic Marseille for the title of France’s ‘second city’ but wins hands down when it comes to style and youthfulness: on average, Bordeaux’s population is the youngest in France.

Art and cars, like art and sex, have always had a symbiotic relationship: think Ed Ruscha’s gas stations or Robert Williams’ hyper-inflated hot rod babes. In Bordeaux, Le Garage Moderne takes this to another level. In a quite back lane in the quirky suburb of Bacalan, a huge, grease-stained auto-repair shop housed in an oak-beamed warehouse has become the alternative space of preference for local performance artists, dance groups and emerging artists.

In the early ’00s, Angouleme, in south-west France, declared itself to be la cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l’image – the international city of comic books and the image. It underlined this claim by hosting a winter comic book festival rivalled in size and attendance only by San Diego’s Comic-Con – although San Diego doesn’t go as far as having excerpts of famed French comics painted on the high walls of its buildings (and, ask anyone, Angouleme’s content is a deal smarter and more adult).

This month, the British government revoked laws that protected the rights of squatters. Police immediately began operations to remove around 20,000 people from buildings all over the country. For now, other governments in Europe are remaining tolerant, recognising maybe that in cities like Paris (notably La Maison de la Plage and La Générale in Belleville) and Berlin, colorful, lively art squats are elemental to the cultural fabric – and yeah, even the economy – of big city life.
