Three good friends, short ‘n’SWEET


one great sound PETER Kibble, Stu Humphris and Hayden Johns have formed a new line-up. Ninemile is a


three-piece, all-male vocal cover band, playing a wide range of popular songs. The band consists of three experienced


musicians. Kibble has played in venues throughout


Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, Sydney, Wollongong, the Central Coast, the mid- north coast and regional NSW. “We are committed to playing together


and our focus is to deliver an exciting song list to the public,” he said. “But, most of all, our pact is to have fun


playing together at all times.” Humphris and Johns joined Kibble


in his previous band in 2010 and quickly formed a very tight combination. “Now, with the new line-up, our


individual vocal talents and harmonies will be on display,” Kibble said. Ninemile have chosen some melodic


rock ballads, powerful rock anthems, as well as all your favourites from the ’80s onwards, to cover in their own special feel. It’s a set list to keep people on the dance fl oor, for sure. Humphris is a well-respected and


credentialed drummer, having played in line-ups such as Attick Fanatix, John Sheeley and the Idols and the Slots. Johns has had a long-term goal playing


in a rocking cover band. He is well revered as a guitarist among his Newcastle peers, playing alongside Peta Evans-Taylor in the popular duo PHD and founding member of Newcastle original line-ups such as Mornings Eleven and Polymorphia. They will be playing at the Royal


Federal Hotel at Branxton on Saturday, July 9.


Best Aussie ROCK REVIVED


CHISEL Revived is a dynamic homage to Australian music legends Cold Chisel and rock icon Jimmy Barnes. For more than


three decades, the songs of Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes have dominated the airways with their powerful brand of Aussie rock. With so many


classic hits, from Khe Sanh, to which most Aussie’s recognise jokingly as our national anthem, to When the War is Over, the driving power of Working Class Man and the R&B swing of Higher and Higher, collectively Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes have given the public some of the best music ever heard on Australian airways. And now, fi nally, Chisel Revived faithfully


reproduce a huge cross-section of these unforgettable songs, in a live show that is second to none. Fronted but the searing vocals of Tim


Carter, you will feel as if Cold Chisel has indeed been revived. Carter’s backing band feature top-class musicians who diligently reproduce the unique sounds of Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes. If you love Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes,


do yourself a favour and go and experience this dynamic show and rock the night away at Cardiff Panthers on Saturday, July 30.

Some sting in their tails


THREE high school friends got together in April 2008 and, after realising a common music passion, decided to form a band. The result was Sarah and the King Bees, known to many as the


SKBees or simply the Bees, with Sarah Paletu’a on vocals and acoustic guitar alongside twins Max Wakefi eld on guitars and Reuben Wakefi eld on bass. After a courtship throughout 2009, the trio eventually signed with


PLW Entertainment to kick-start their professional music career. Mid-2010 brought newest member Jesse Leslie, a true blue Aussie and the twins’ primary school buddy, on drums and backing vocals. Paletu’a’s pure tones can be attributed to her Tongan heritage, which, along with the band’s laid-back melodic rhythms, create a refreshing, good-feeling musical journey. With infl uences ranging from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to Taylor Swift, the down-to-earth attitudes of the group allow for a unique pop acoustic mix and warm charisma, not easily found in such young players. They are pure music. Sarah and the King


Bees perform for the fi rst time in Newcastle at the Wickham Park Hotel on Thursday, July 21.
