OX is known for his pure energy he brings to the stage and his vocals have to be seen live to appreciate what an amazing artist this guy is.

DW is MIA

The crowd is swelling and getting louder! A lad yells out “cmon c!$ts, get this shit going”
I’m excited, I can’t lie…
soon the light go dark and a weird blue light shines as the lads appear on stage.
Andy (on Keys) Kicks in the intro to fightback and it’s in!! Ba ba BOOM!! As DW, Drew and Ritchie rip into the fightback and Zeke spits you gotta fight back take control.. the song gets the crowd going and the lads don’t stop as they flow straight into bullet, the crowd is going nuts at this stage.. bullet makes the crowd sway and get loose and sing as it stops Zeke thanks the crowd for the love.. as they bust into hands up high the crowd sing along to the chorus with Drew and DW.
The ridiculously big Back to base follows and the crowd goes nuts, BTB is clearly a crowd fave from the GOTSD, it’s infectious rhymes and big chorus are big with the fans.

Running away sees Zeke jump into the crowd and sing from atop a bar table, the crowd swell around him and sing along, as the lads busy out the big crowd favourite Crank the system, which is received To a thunderous roar, the Crowd feed off the energy that heist lads throw out, Drew is beaming with smiles but may be a painful smile as he has a busted ankle!!

Zeke speaks to the crowd after this and says I’ve been listening to this band for ever, I’ve been singing this track since ’98’, I knew one day I could sing with this band, as an oldie but a bloody goody Have your way busts out. Zeke and the boys absolutely smash this track, it’s flawless and the sound is amazing as the song nears the end zeke
Changes the lyrics to ‘if everything could ever feel This good for ever’ a well
Known track from some alien liking American band… (A Lil Foo for the thought)

Time for a breather and chat before they break into the Deepend and the massive Sweat/Swing, two amazing tracks to see back to back live as Zeke once again jumps into the crowd and stands aloft the bar table, it’s good to see as the band looks out and are beaming with smiles as the show is going off and the fans are digging the new sound/songs and lineup.

Zeke turns back to the band and says oh shit I forgot the set list… DW says Liberate, just cranks it, RIIIIIISSSEEEEEEEEEEE
Holy shit this gets the crowd pumped as, this will turn out to be the only song from IRCR, and the crowd respond with a banging little mosh around Zeke on the table as the lads on stage thrash this one out…

This leads straight into the massive crowd faves of Step back and Check your head which back to back are just huge, the Factory theater is pulsating with heavy guitar, big bass drums and vocal.. after these two classic heist songs finish Zeke says ok, we need to talk, they need to finish filming the wolves in your headspace clip and it will b done right now, Audri From Horrorwood mannequins dons the wolf mask and is thrust into the pit and crowd Surfs for a
Minute or two as the lads rip this track apartt and Brian Who has flown out from LA to finish this shoot.. ( I don’t think security liked this bit, ha ha)

As the crowd settles after thing track Benny and Drew sit on the drum riser for a well earned rest, as Zeke grabs an acoustic guitar and starts strumming and busts into the amazing ballad This truth, it’s a crowd sing along, suck a good track and as it builds the lads join in and boom, the ballad goes a bit heavy and then drops
Again.
That’s a bit of love there with that Fucking ballad says Zeke,”.
As DW and Zeke say thanx for helping film the wolves clip to the crowd,
They get back to LA chat about the filming off the next song we are about to here “. Fearing nothing, sees Zeke Jump back into the crowd, Drew is Almst done on 1 leg onstage! The red coopers are helping him bang that bass.

Feel Sorry for it… DW, Drew and Ritchie get loud and loose, security is even banging there heads now also!! The heist sound is so huge…

Zeke says sorry but this is our last one for he might but we be Back for a big tour next year.. Taking it Back to 8 miles high days with the massive PULSE, that DW and Drew just beam
As they smash it out, zeke makes this track his own. The crowd don’t no what is going on as they have been going nuts for 60 minutes plus already, Pulse just sends them even crazier in the pit.
Pulse is pulsating in the crowd and on stage… sad as but it has to come to and end, the band give big thanx to the crowd, DW does the hand sharks, Zeke is straight in the Merch stand. Benny goes awol for a smoke, Drew is found at the little creatures lounge!! Ha ha

All in all this was a massive show and a big welcome back from a good sydney crowd, such a good variety of songs from all albums, the lads can only fit so many tracks in 70 minutes. with 3 amzing support acts aslo in Horrorwood Mannequins, Segression and Earth Caller.

Looking at DW and Drew during the set they were absolutely beaming with smiles as they are re introducing there baby Almst, throw in the kid at the back who beats the bloody shit outta his pearl kit and the most energetic and best front man in Aus since Michael
Hutchence in Ezekiel ox, You have Superheist, a force to be reckoned with, an arsenal of bullshit heavy tracks and a few slower ballads to soothe the ears.

There still a few shows to go on this tour and have been promised more shows to come… don’t miss it hey, the lads pull out all stops and give u a big show that you won’t forget

A caustic and searing video clip for the single will follow in the weeks to come. The band have been hunkered down recording their first full-length record, which will see it’s release in early 2017. A recent jaunt up to Brisbane to showcase at Big Sound saw them re-double their efforts to finish the tracks for the album. This single is the first sample of the album, which explores the themes of humans’ destruction of the world’s natural resources

‘Defiling Paradise’ was recorded with Systematic Productions’ Ermin Hamidovic, along with the rest of the forthcoming album.

Vocalist Ben Roberts was forthright about the meaning behind the new single ‘Defiling Paradise’ and the imagery behind the name and themes of the brutal track. “Defiling Paradise is about the transition of human thought from being part of nature to being above it. It’s about how once we began to develop into civilized societies, we inherently lost touch with how much we actually rely on the natural environment for our existence.”

‘Defiling Paradise’ is not only the first taste of new music from the band, but also the opening track to the album – in which these ideas are further explored throughout the record.

Hollow World has shared the stage with Plini, At The Gates, Ne Obliviscaris, Psycroptic,King Parrot, Be’lakor, Boris the Blade, Make Them Suffer, Bleeding Through,Frankenbok and ROME.

Hollow World have been prolific in their releasing of music over their career, releasing their 5-track debut EP “Beneath the Frozen Sky” in November 2013, 2014 saw the release of single Silence and in 2015, EP “The Wrath Kept Within”, which featured single and video “Valley Of The Ghelgath”, was released.

thanx agian to our friends at collison course

Recording GOTSD seen the lads head to hills of L.A
To record with Jay Baumgardner (Linkin Park, Papa Roach John Fogerty), at NRG studios, over two weeks there and we were gifted with this album.

1- Wolves in your headspace,
Wow
What an opening track, call me nostalgic or old but hearing DW guitar fading in and out then Drew’s crazy bass come in, had me pumped before we hear Benny’s infectious drums kick in and then the lyrical genius of Ezekiel ox joins, and gives us wolves.
WOLVES is a great way for the heist to come back, it’s slow in parts but has that energetic heaviness that we know and respect of the older heist records.

2-Back to base
DW”s Haunting keys start this tune, followed by a big drop of heavy guitars and big drums again, Zeke’s vocals Kick in and are really quick, but so honest, Ox is a real story teller, this track goes up and down with some amazing guitar and drums that build and slow and then build again with Zekes vocals going above and beyond, so many changes in guitar in this track, Made for a live spectacular this one.

3- Fearing Nothing-Lucky enough to have had a few weeks to listen to this, I think this song set the album up as to showcase what we knew Zeke’s vocals would bring to the band, it starts out slow, almost a bit of spoken word and then that ridiculously wicked harmony kicks in as the tempo builds, it sounds as if Ezekiel ox is talking to someone in this track, this track takes us on a Lil Heist journey as we hear ox say ‘ it’s a shame you’re outta backs to scratch, but you keep attacking me… and you want more’ you want more’ fear of nothing
Ezekiel ox has so much to say on this album, he brings so much to the band with his amazing ability on the mic.

4- Running away
Heavy guitar intro and Zeke rapping straight up set this track up before the chorus kicks in “running away, so why are you running away”
Drew and benny seem to be so in sync like they have been playing in the same band for ever!
This track builds to big chorus versus and ends up with some amazing guitar work in the last 30 seconds… (I’m keen to see this track live to see DW and Keeagh shredding)

5- Flick the switch
Once u flick the switch u can’t turn this off!!!! BOOM…
Ox’s vocals are huge as are the guitar in the intro of this track… but wait for Drew and Benny to kick in together and the track just get better. Benny sounds like he has four feet in parts, it sounds like the bass drum is about to explode… this track will be a live show special to see Drew and Benny combining for some wicked sounds
And then as you think the song finishes it builds again with the band doing backing vocals.

6-The Deepend
A bit of a sad intro to this one, but wait for about 20seconds and boom!!! Bass rips in and Zeke starts with very quick lyrics, A few swear words too which is always good, a very infectious chorus in the deepend as ox says” can we deepend on you”. Yes we will
Deepend on you” will be a crowd favourite at live shows with heavy guitars and drums and lyrics that can be sung along too and some that you will just want to bang your head along too.

7- This truth
Wow… Acoustic change!!!
Some will say wtf?? I say Thanx lads
This might be the slower song and some even may call it a slow/heavy ballad (if that’s such a thing), it is the shit… Ezekiel Ox voice is hectic good (man crushing- ha ha) and the slower drums and guitars combined with that piano!!
I think this track showcases why D.W chased Zeke to be in the band. Zekes voice can go from a subtle spoken Word voice to a big rahhhh and then drop back to harmonies and quickly go into a rap!!!!! And there’s a little Jimmy Barnes/LLeyton Hewitt “Cmon” in there
This track shows that the heist lads aren’t just about cranking the amps to 20/10 all the time.

8-Hang your head
DW and Drew at their best in this intro….
Super tight and heavy with Zekes super quick flow…
The track slows halfway through and builds as benny takes no prisoners on that poor drum kit again,
Yeah I said it, Dnt forget it!!!

9- Lets get out of here
Acoustic Little intro with piano and slow words from Zeke leads us into a big boom of guitar and stupidly heavy drums from Benny again,
The rhythm that Benny Clarke brings to this song complements Drew on bass and Zeke spitting out it’s been a whole lot of fun, But now it’s time to go, let’s get out of here. Was this the last track recorded in L.A.

10— Sweat/swing
The mosh pit song….
Get ready to sweat Fukkrs!!!!! Need we say more??
Ok I will, sweat/swing sweat/swing,
This track is that big at the start its ridiculous, guitar that fades from left to right with Zeke whispering Sweat/Swing and then ba ba boom from Benny !!! Ox launches into some vicious rhymes that lead into his amazing chorus flow, this track is huge but so soft in parts, Ox’s voice complements the heavy guitar and drums with piano again.

I can’t write too much about this track besides get ready to SWEAT!!!!!!

The deluxe edition of the album has 5 more tracks, review of them to follow soon

All in all I think this new Superheist album is a big 10/10, It gives so much and shows how hard the band has worked to achieve this album that we have finally got after 13 long years man.
The Heist is back, Check Them out on their tour that is happening at the moment. (details below)

Tickets for the upcoming tour can be found at http://www.wildthingpresents.com

I, on the other hand, need plenty on introduction. I am not in regular contact with musicians. I am not a smooth interviewer or skilled journalist. I sometimes see famous people from afar, having managed to get backstage at a festival or gig and I often go into fan girl mode and need to escort myself promptly away from almost certain humiliation. So you can imagine my state of panic, excitement and nerves when the ‘LoudNLocal’ boys offered me the opportunity of my lifetime…. to chat with none other an Paul Dempsey, my longtime idol (with a healthy amount of school girl crush thrown in for good measure). The following transcript is an example of my awkward rambling, and his patient and generous responses. Being in quite the state, I forgot to record the start of the interview but can recall it went something like this …

Me: Hi Paul, Sarah here calling from LoudNlocal, thanks for taking the time out to chat with us!

Paul: Sure, no problem.

Me: (thankfully remembering to press the record button) Let’s start with your recent tour, how did you go with previewing your new material?

Paul: oh yeah, of course, it was fun! The shows were great, I love playing live, and the new songs felt good to play. I guess that’s the main reason I like to preview them, I wasn’t really looking for, you know, the audience response or anything, because it’s kinda hard for people to respond when they’re hearing something for the very first time, it’s more having those shows coming up just forces me to finish a bunch of half finished ideas…. I certainly achieved that. They felt good to play and there’s something about playing songs live that suddenly makes them more real.

Me: sure, have you been trying out any new sounds at all?

Paul: yeah I have been in my demos that I’m recording but the shows I did were just me with my acoustic guitar, so, there’s not to much more to that

Me: and what made you chose those venues (Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and WA)

Paul: I didn’t really want to play in Capitol cities or places that I’d been to recently, I just felt like getting out of town a bit and escaping the cold in melbourne …

Me: Now your playing Queenscliff Music Festival this year, it’s a festival you’ve played before, what’s the appeal?

Paul: it’s just a really great atmosphere down there. I like festivals that are out of town a bit and Queenscliffe is a beautiful place. It’s just got a great feeling and a great atmosphere, it started off small many years ago and it’s become a great strong and successful festival, and they always choose a great lineup that has something for everybody and it’s predominately if not all Australian artists. I’m excited, this year is he first time that I’m doing it as Paul Dempsy not Sfk. I’m bringing my band with me and it will be he first show I’ve done wit a band for years.

Me: Are you going to have a chance to have any down time and check to other bands?

Paul: I hope so! I will have just gotten back from Chicago and lots of frantic rehearsals and stuff. Hopefully by the time we get down there and do our thing we’ll be able to let of some steam and enjoy some music

Me: I see that Kate miller- Heidke is on the line up, and chance of a collab?

Paul: there probably is quite a decent chance actually!

Me: I’ll be keeping an eye out for that!

Me: (some rambling about the weather, then pulling myself together moved on) So where are you at with the process of writing and recording for the new solo album?

Paul: I’m leaving in about 5 weeks to go and record it in the states, so I’m almost there. It’s mostly written, I’m just finishing up a few things. You know I’m always writing up until the very last minute and in the studio as well, you never know what might come along, so I’ll keep on writing until the final day of recording. I’ll be gone in mid September and should be all finished by the end of October.

Me: so why did you choose the states for your recording?

Paul: for the producer/engineer that I want to work with, a guy called Tom Schick, he has a studio out there in Chicago, and I was keen to work with him so it just made sense for me to go over.

Me: are you going to be involved in any of the production yourself?

Paul: oh definitely, when is doing my own demos and stuff like that they’re very much produced, I kind of throw all the ideas at it and craft it as much as possible so that when you’re in the studio your not kind of sitting around, I like to go in there and know exactly what I’m doing. Things are already produced to a certain degree before I go in, but I definitely wanted to work with Tom as well because it’s always nice to have that second opinion and someone being a bit of a devils advocate, so it’s definitely a co-produced type thing.

Me: do you think that you’ll be learning from Tom about working as a producer as well, I know you’ve done a bit of production work with some up and coming Aussie bands.

Paul: yeah, I learn from every experience and I’ve been very lucky that with everyone I’ve ever worked with it’s been a positive experience. I’ve heard some really unfortunate stories from friends and colleagues who’ve had bad experiences in the studio and were really lucky we’ve had overwhelmingly good experiences and I’ve learnt something from all of them. It will be my first time working with Tom, and we’ve had a few Skype conversions and I’m a fan of the other work he’s done, so I’m excited! (Tom’s worked with Sonic Youth, Paul McCartney and Rufus!)

Me: what brought you together with Mossman Alder (who Paul had produced for and supported him on his recent tour)

Paul: They approached me, they were ready to record their first full length album, we got together and did some pre production, and we spent a few days together in their rehearsal room to make sure everyone was on the same page and liking each other’s ideas, then I spent about a month in all on their album. It was great for me, and they’re a really awesome band and I’m happy with how the record came out.

Me: are there any other up and coming bands that you have your eye on at the moment?

Paul: I just finished another record for Mike Noga (drummer for the drones), this is his 3rd solo album, we’ve just finished work on that, it should be out before the end of the year. I think he’s a great song writer and great singer and has a great bunch of songs, so keep an eye out for that.

Me: I definitely will! You have a few connection with the drones, you’ve been in a doco with Gareth (Liddiard) recently…

Paul: yeah, myself and Gareth and Sarah Blasko, we all sat down to have a chat with these guys  about what it’s actually really like being a working musician. There’s obviously some misconceptions and slightly more romanticised notions about what it’s like to be in a band. It was nice to sit down and have a frank conversation about some of the ups and downs.

Me: what was the take home message from you?

Paul: my attitude is that I certainly would never complain about what I do for a living, I absolutely love it, and in many respects it’s a dream come true that I get to do what I love as a full time job, but the fact is there are some romanticised notions that it’s all easy, all parties and good times, but in Australia at least, it’s like running a small business and you have to do a lot of work and you have to sacrifice a lot before you get to the point of being able to do it full time

Me: have you seen any shift with the way people are marketing themselves, with a lot more social media opportunities and electronically produced music?

Paul: yeah, I guess there is a shift … Anything I say right now if going to be a generalisation, but I do see a lot of younger bands starting out and they’re really hoping to get noticed by making some sort of viral video… Look it’s sort of different and it’s the same. There are always going to be bands out there looking for shortcuts, and there are always going to be bands that are prepared to just work. In that respect nothing’s changed. He internet obviously makes it possible for bands to look for more shortcuts, but there’s still plenty of awesome bands who are just going out playing their asses off.

Me: anyway you guys certainly did that over 20 years touring and playing with ‘Something for Kate’. I was wondering how you go about differentiating the writing; to decide whether it’s a ‘Something for Kate’ or a solo song?

Paul: yeah, I don’t really think about it to be honest. When I’m working on my own stuff I play everything, and all the ideas are mine, and I don’t have to collaborate or debate anything I do it all my way, it’s totally self indulgent (laughs). It ends up just sounding a certain way. If I brought exactly the same piece to a something for Kate rehearsal it would get … There’d be a lot of push and pull,making it apart and putting it back together until all 3 members of the band are happy with where it’s at. It just comes down to the collaboration. Something for Kate stuff just sounds the way it does due to collaboration and my stuff takes on a different sound because it’s just me following my own trains of thought.
Me: you tend to mix your shows up a bit with some covers, some something for Kate tracks and your own work, why do you use that approach?

Paul: just for fun really, it keeps it interesting. When I play solo shows I have a loose set list in case I can’t make up my mind, but I generally just follow my instinct in the moment. You get a vibe from the crowd and mood on that night, and inlet that guide me. It’s no secret that the music I write is very particular  and throwing in a cover can be a bit of a circuit breaker from more serious and complicated songs …
Me: and you seem to have very diverse taste is music!

Paul: I love a good song, I don’t care where it comes from. I’m very open about my musical taste, I’ll happily play a Slayer song followed by a Taylor Swift song, a good song for me is a good song, and there’s so many different factors in that.

Me: what prompted the ‘shotgun karaoke’ series on YouTube?

Paul: SFK were on kind of a long tour, and every evening after sound check I would go into the backstage room and on the spot play a cover that one of the band members challenged me to play, they’d just throw it to me on the spot, and I might have 10 mins to learn then we’d film it on an iPhone and throw it up on you tube. We were doing that every night of the tour as a music challenge. By the end of the tour there was a lot of people saying “you got to put these out” so we made a record …

Me: that series single handedly helped me procrastinate my way through uni so thanks for that!

Paul: (laughs) no worries!

Me: I better let you go, thanks for speaking to loud n local. I have to say the boys at LoudNLocal have done me a bit of a favour, I’m not usually one of the interviewers but I’m a bit of a fan girl and they’ve passed this one on to me so I really appreciate it!

Paul: oh wow that’s cool! My pleasure, no worries, good to chat!

Me: (hangs up, swoons then nearly passes out)!
