We first saw this unique artist’s work in the last Biennale of Sydney then again recently at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. He combines a sublime mix of Buddhist iconography with pop culture references and is basically brilliant. He explores issues of identity, globalisation, hybridity and consumerism. We love that his artwork is so brave, yet gloriously colourful and bright. Read more

At a gig last year Foals were forced to abandon their last song halfway through because the stage was stormed by too many crazed fans. The reason behind the hype they’re creating, both on stage and in the normally merciless media, isn’t immediately clear upon first listen: the sound is less than friendly on the ears, and they don’t employ the same catchy hooks and melodic chorus patterns that shoot your average band to fame in their early years.
