Fans of the British comedy icon and star of US hit show House may not even know about Lauries foray into music. However, to call his music career just a side-project would be doing it a serious injustice. He plays just about every instrument imaginable and is indebted to the New Orleans blues sound. See one of the great entertainers of our generation.

1980s metal band Skid Row are hitting New Zealand for a three-show tour. While their original singer may have left the band they havent lost any of their intensity. Ugly Kid Joe are no strangers to success themselves, check out their new album Stairway To Hell. This is an epic double-billing for metal fans.

Chali 2Na is a hip hop artist and founding member of Jurassic 5. To fans of the seminal group his voice will be instantly recognizable. With a baritone as deep as Barry White, Chali 2Na is the gangster of love and love is definitely what hes preaching. He exudes a friendliness on the mic while also assaulting the beat with his lyrical prowess.

A native of North Carolina, this singersongwriter spins narrative ballads with the same raw beauty as Emmylou Harris. The Tuning Fork is on a roll at the moment showcasing some great country and Americana acts - Merritt is certainly one of these. Her recent albums have features some of the biggest names in alt-country including My Morning Jacket and Andrew Bird.

Grab a spot on the couch or sway lazily under the Wine Cellars low lighting as Flip Grater plays the first new material she has released in four years. Being broke in Paris has sharpened her songwriting skills and the grit of the city is carved into her new material.

This Californian post-hippie boogie band will be playing their special blend of soulful pop as they tour the world this year. Their name, which comes from their famous love of the green stuff, will be sure to have the veteran stoners grooving. The modern reincarnation of the band includes core members from their formative years and their most successful 70s period.

Although you dont need much excuse to get yourself down to Queenstown this month, theyve given you one anyway. This festival will be a one-day outdoor event, featuring some huge international and local acts such as Elvis Costello and The Black Seeds, to name but a few. They have crafted a beautiful festival atmosphere that will go from morning till night.

This is a double bill that will have fans of sensual soul salivating. India.Arie is a household name and multiple Grammy Award-winner, guaranteed to put on a hell of a show. After a hiatus from recording, she has returned with an album lauded as her best yet. She will be playing along with Joss Stone, who has the voice and stage presence to compete with Arie.

This guy is popular with the ladies. Tickets to his concert would sell in the blink of an eye without even a passing reference to his music. But his music holds its own, a long worked-on labour of love. Expect his signature bluesy sound mixed with his earlier acoustic classics.

Leighs charming Sawmill venue is a gem of the north and it provides an awesome setting for Don Walker, songwriter from Cold Chisel. He will be playing with The Bads, who invited him here for a tour. Walker documented the seedy underbelly of Australia like no other and is a songwriters songwriter, showing others how it is done.

Winners of the renowned Taite Music Prize, Into The East will be playing a secluded and atmospheric gig in Hokitika. The band has been picking up momentum gradually over the past months touring. Their performances have been described as containing hints of Fleetwood Mac in their tight poetic harmonies. Their sound will be a great accompaniment to the picturesque surroundings.

Lego, the iconic toy that has shaped so many childhoods has been brought to life as a major film. The animation is first-rate and is brought to us by the director of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. The story revolves around Emmet, who is your average Lego-man thrust into greatest by a case of mistaken identity.

Besides dwelling on the bands unusual decision to change their name to Pacifier in the wake of the 9/11 disaster, TV3 are documenting the story of one of NZs greatest rock bands who in their prime could fill a stadium and get a crowd in a mood like no other. While the band never fully made it, their story was truly turbulent.

The show that has kept audiences attentions rapt and reaching for the whiskey cabinet is coming to an end. The series is about the most stylish thing to have ever been shown on television, from the retro art design to clothing you would give your right arm for at a vintage store. The show boasts some of the sexiest and suavest characters ever created.

It doesnt seem that long since Sam Raimi turned the beloved story of Spiderman into a trilogy. Luckily, audiences didnt have to wait long as Spidey has been reincarnated. Two new baddies have been thrown into the fold, the critically respected Paul Giamatti takes on the role of The Rhino alongside Jamie Foxx as Electro. Spider-man 2 guarantees excitement.

UNTIL SBORNIA DO US PART (AT QUE A SBRNIA NOS SEPARE)

AUCKLAND/WELLINGTON/NELSON

Almost nowhere in the world is as affected by environmental concerns as Brazil, a developing nation with a growing population and a quickly depleting rainforest. Via animation, the themes of corporate dominance and environmental impact are highlighted, as the fictional population of Sbornia are introduced to the rest of the world when the wall separating their world from ours collapses.

A slapstick comedy where a mans love for his dog and the woman that dumped him fuse into one. The story, set in the affluent and idyllic sector of Rio, has the audience laughing at the absurdity of affection and the lengths people are willing to go to get back what they love.

This film documents the Brazilian jazz style known as bossa nova (meaning literally new trend), a more laidback and sunnier style to the grittier jazz of the US. A comedy that follows a group of hapless Brazilians as they head to the Big Apple to stamp their mark on the city. The laughs this fish-out-ofwater comedy brings are matched only by the fingerclicking soundtrack.

This highly interactive exhibition will take willing spectators to a higher plane of existence. The gallery shows cartoon illustrations of Buddhas life, in the traditional style as well as interactive quizzes and a Bodhi tree where people can tie their wishes. This exhibition represents an opportunity to understand more about Buddhism and its founder.

Japanese playwright Ota Shogo summons the hypnotic celebration of nature, channelling the spirit of a Haiku, in this wordless play. Time is broken open and examined, slowed down to a trickle, as we watch the lives of individuals as they stop at the water station. The work will be challenging, highly rewarding and well worth the effort.

Auckland is truly becoming a city on an international scale; every year new projects are popping up throughout the urban landscape, full of promise. The renewal of the Wynyard Quarter from barren port to bustling hub of food and entertainment seems to have happened overnight. The area shows off Aucklands greatest asset, its waterfront and has already become host to Aucklands top alternative festival, Laneway. The area is in constant use, whether its for outdoor film screenings, markets or just a lazy Sunday skating or shooting hoops on the available courts. The space has already attracted the highest quality of restaurant, from Baduzzi to Miss Clawdy. The area is easily accessible from the centre of town by the picturesque walk along the waterfront or by taking the Inner Link (red) bus. There are big plans for the area yet to come and it will be interesting to see what the next few years have in store as the city really flaunts the beauty that the harbour creates.

With an incredible view of the water and Italian food thats authentic enough to have you sneering at your run-ofthe-mill runny carbonara, Merchants of Venice have a good thing going on with wood-fired pizzas and pastas made by hand. Italian food is often eaten but rarely done right, so come along and open your eyes to what youve been missing.

METAL GEAR SOLID: GROUND ZEROES

PS4

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is definitely a matter of quality over quantity. While the full price-tag is never quite justified, it is one of the best stealth-gameplay experiences Ive had the pleasure of playing. Its true that the end credits roll after a startling short amount of gameplay but players will notice that upon returning back to the main menu, they will have only explored around 10% of the game. After this, different missions will open up, with interesting new objectives to explore. As fans of the series will expect, the game is still a visual masterpiece, especially on the PS4. But what is a surprise is how conservative the games creator and director Hideo Kojima has been with the cinematic cut-scenes. Usually the Metal Gear Solid titles are filled with exhaustingly long cutscenes that would rival some of James Camerons three-hour epics. But here they are effectively brief, beautifully rendered and packed full of emotion and atmospheric punch, which set the tone for the whole game. Ground Zeroes still centres around the legendary protagonist Big Boss, aka Snake, efficiently voiced by Hollywood actor Kiefer Sutherland. Snakes main objective is to infiltrate a prison camp known as Camp Omega and rescue fellow intelligence agents. While doing so, Ground Zeroes doesnt force you to play in any particular manner. Yes, the game is more engineered around an adrenaline-pumping stealth experience, but you can opt to charge into the prison camp with all guns blazing, blowing stuff up and screaming blue murder if youd rather. Just be prepared to wear the consequences of your trigger-happy fingers. There is a sense of pioneering with Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, and not all of it will be welcome. There is a whole new sinister tone to this latest title which alarmingly moves away from the franchises quirky, Japanese-centric humour. Sneaking around under a cardboard box, cartoonish exclamation marks, and toilet humour gave the game its semigoofy identity. However Ground Zeroes touches on some very dark subject matter, including rape, torture and even underage sex. Tread with caution. Its also not the epic adventure that PS4 fans have been begging for since the console launched, so this could be a rental title until the price drops.

The plight of the Record Industry has had some interesting effects on the way we listen to music. While CD sales have plummeted, the sale of vinyl has found a special niche and sales are the best they have been in years. Classics are being re-released and new music is continually being pressed. Record Store Day celebrates the cult of the record store, the beautiful scent of the bargain bin and the exciting not-knowing that comes from browsing the aisles ready to be seduced by an interesting looking record sleeve. It has become an internationally recognised day, celebrating independently owned stores and institutions such as Real Groovy, who will be celebrating the day in their own unique way. There will be exclusive vinyl releases, so let this day be a wake- up call to all those that cast vinyl into oblivion with relics such as VHS and tapes. Vinyl is back so head to your nearest record store to be convinced.

JUST FOR THE RECORD A group of vinyl enthusiasts are getting together for drinks and nibbles and no doubt spinning some records to celebrate record store day this year a love of vinyl party if you will! Then going for a pizza dinner because pizza is round just like a record. Duh.

The Grand Budapest Hotels Edward Norton

through something else. Does Wes allow improvisation? You do have to surrender to Wess precision, and the idea that your improvisational capacity to put a twist on something will be restricted to the confines of the rhythm that Wes has written it in. Working with Wes is like, No, I dont want you to change a word, I dont want you to extemporise it. But within that, give me everything youve got. Whats it like for the younger cast coming into that atmosphere? The kids on Moonrise Kingdom were great, but I think Wes moulded them. Maybe its because Tony is a little older; he was very adept at grasping Wess rhythms of comedy and delivery. He was impressive. I think, like Jason (Schwartzman), he had an intuitive feeling for the aspirational quality of that young person in this adult world. How does Wes assemble these incredible casts? Prolific actors seem happy to take smaller roles. As Bill [Murray] said, you lose money on the job, literally [laughs]. But I think Wes creates a community that hits a nerve in many actors. Theres a romance to something like Saturday Night Live or a repertory theatre a gang that hangs together and does things over and over, and one has a bigger part this time and a smaller part next time. Hes carved this little redoubt against the cynical big budget movie-making experience, which feels very fractured. Does he show you things before you start filming? Wes references literature and lots of films. He usually provides a literal library. He does animated storyboards. He even voices them. Its the most efficient way to get to it, to hear him say it, because he has a very unique rhythm. I do think even with his controlled way of doing things, Wes loves to get surprised by a funny rhythm or delivery. You can get him to change things a little bit. Theres always a little bit of room.
DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON STARRING RALPH FIENNES,F. MURRAY ABRAHAM,MATHIEU AMALRIC IN CINEMAS NATIONWIDE

OSCAR-NOMINATED ACTOR Edward Norton joined an all-star cast, including Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton and Owen Wilson, for Wes Andersons The Grand Budapest Hotel, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Norton plays Henckels, the captain of the military police in Andersons vividly imagined, fictitious European country of Zubrowka. Set in the 1930s as war looms on the horizon, The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel, and Zero Moustafa, a lobby boy who becomes his closest friend. The story involves the theft of a priceless Renaissance painting, a raging battle for a family fortune and a love affair all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent. Did you guys decide to work together again after Moonrise Kingdom? Yeah. Wes and I exchanged mutual appreciation a long time ago. He saw me in a play and sent me a really nice letter, and I had written to him about his films. I think we both had this notion that it would be great to do something. We really enjoy working together.

What did you make of The Grand Budapest Hotel when you first read the script? I thought it was great. I thought that Gustave was one of the best characters Wes had ever written. His worldview is so funny and memorable, with all of his righteous indignation. It was so funny and touching, as Wess stuff often is: theres a lot of humour, but also poignancy underneath. It reminded me of Max Fischer (from Rushmore) or Steve Zissou, characters who are pressing for an aesthetic vision of the world. Max Fischers not fighting change, hes fighting against being pigeonholed. Ive come to think that Wess films are all about the way your real family disappoints you so you create the family that you need. Like the frequent appearance of orphans? Yes, or the characteristics of Gustave. You know very little about him, but you realise nothing that came before matters. Hes created this world and populated it with people that affirm his worldview. Like Tony Revoloris character, the lobby boy. Life has left him adrift, but through Gustave, he finds the family he needs. I dont think theres a single one of Wess films that arent about people with some sort of loss, or a sense of deficit in their life, trying to create community and family
