• An Index of Metals review – a soprano and six naked men fall flat

  17-11-2015 22:13
  
  Carriageworks, SydneyThis theatrical staging of Fausto Romitelli’s swansong is so earnest in its quest for profundity that its emotions seem overwrought, even silly
  For most of An Index of Metals, soprano Jane Sheldon is surrounded by a swarm of six naked men. With chiselled pale bodies lit by glaring lights or cast into dark foreboding silhouettes, they stalk around her, encircling and encompassing her, lifting her up and putting her down as if she is made of putty.Related: Watch extracts

  Denmark’s premier heavy metal export explains how he’s balanced haunted houses, songs about satan and litres of face paint for 30 yearsOf course King Diamond’s house is haunted. Given his status as one of the most enduring figures in heavy metal horror, it’s fitting that the Danish musician would have a few skeletons lurking in his closet. He seems utterly unconcerned about his uninvited house guests, too; according to the King (née Kim Petersen), he’s been w

  As the composer’s new double bass concerto premieres this week in the London jazz festival, Simon Bainbridge explains how the collaborative work took shape, and why – if it wasn’t for an early morning Manhattan cab ride – it might never have happened at allMany years ago I stepped into a cab on Sixth Avenue and began a gentle swaggering journey uptown. Manhattan was slowly waking up; the sun was rising over the East River. The time couldn’t have been more than 5am a

• Chvrches review – bubblegum pop that leaves a bad taste of niceness

  17-11-2015 15:29
  
  The Dome, Brighton
  The electronic trio look like goths and have a surprisingly heavy sound, but they’re just too shiny and nice What a curious, synthetic experience it is to see Chvrches. Not that there’s ever anything amiss with pop feeling synthetic. What makes Chvrches odd is the disconnect between their live sound, a pulsating electronic wallop, and their pervasive sense of niceness. Everything about this band is black except its soul. This is vanilla EBM; goth for people who are

• PF Sloan: the 1960s enigma admired by Bob Dylan and Jimmy Webb

  17-11-2015 14:44
  
  The songwriter and musician, who has died of pancreatic cancer, became a mythic pop figure after he disappeared at the end of the 60s. But songs such as Eve of Destruction stand up against the best of the decade“Last summer I saw PF Sloan,” sang Jimmy Webb. “He was summer burned and winter blown / He turned the corner all alone.” Sloan was not Webb’s equal as a songwriter, but you have to be pretty damn good for one of the greatest writers in pop to write a song abo

  Cadogan Hall, LondonKurt Elling’s four-octave vocal range and easy-swinging style makes him a kind of Sinatra with superpowers, ably supported by the retooled Swingles
  We hear singers all the time – perfectly serviceable ones who can carry a tune and sometimes touch our hearts. But it comes as a shock to hear a proper singer like Kurt Elling. The Chicago native is often described as a “singers’ singer”, which suggests a bit of a Joe Satriani-style show-off. But, wit

  There are many venues—such as small clubs and restaurants—that will allow musicians to book a set and entertain diners or drinkers for free, and then ‘pass the hat’ after their session.  Performing in public places, such as on the street or in subways, for gratuities or “busking,” is another way to make money from live performance.
