JOIN DALLAS FRASCA’S LOVE ARMY
What do Ugly Kid Joe, The Beards, Troy Cassar-Daley, and Dr Karl from Neighbours have in common? They were among the first celebs to sign up and join the Love Army. Due to drop on Friday April 17, Dallas Frasca’s much-anticipated release, Love Army, is not only a new album, it’s a new movement. Encouraging fans from across Australia and the globe to get involved, Love Army recruitment has been getting stronger and stronger as the big day approaches, with word being spread via social media and jointhelovearmy.com. The concept of the Love Army was inspired by the Spanish artist Piluca, whom Frasca met in London in 2012. “She spent weeks making these little men out of hessian bags and recycled materials and placed hundreds of them around Brixton [in south London],” Frasca says. “They each held signs with messages that would trigger a positive thought for anyone who read the sign. I was so moved at her selfless act, and how people engaged with her art. I wanted to try and continue the theme of the Love Army message, because why is it so fucking hard for people to be good to one another? I hope our music evokes positive thoughts within people as well.” Once you sign up, you’ll then be sent a list of small but important good deeds to complete on Friday April 17 and you can do one or as many as you like. Document your deeds by taking a photo or video and upload it to your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and use the hashtag #jointhelovearmy. You can catch Dallas Frasca at Howler on Friday June 19.
THE RADIO SUN NAME NEW ALBUM
Australian melodic heavy rock band The Radio Sun have announced Heaven Or Heartbreak as the title of their upcoming new album. After a very promising 2014, which saw the band release their debut album Wrong Things Right to very favourable reviews and some great live gigs, including an appearance at Melodic Rock Fest 4 in Chicago, The Radio Sun got straight back to work by writing new original material. With the songwriting flowing, the boys released the Spaceman EP in March, which featured the much talked about Ace Frehley original song/tribute and anthemic Never Knock A Believer – the football anthem which will see The Radio Sun boys promoting the song at various Australian Football League related events in the coming year. The new album was mixed by Paul Laine (solo, ex Danger Danger, Dark Horse).
