Robin Wallace-Crabbe discusses printmaking gaining dignity as graphic art. He contrasts printmakers with painters and sculptors, noting techniques, materials, and the influence of modern Japanese prints. The piece highlights risk of technical overreach and shifts toward nonfigurative, architectural imagery.
The Blue Cheer release on Philips PDS 5-7 IE Cheer earns attention for its musicianship. Leigh Stephens on lead guitar and Dick Peterson on bass drive a tense electric sound, with Paul Whaley’s drums providing steady rhythm. The cover hints Stephens as a female figure, adding curiosity though not changing the music. The instrumental Second Time Around showcases bass drum duels, Stephens’ piercing lead, and a climactic entry. Overall the album rides strong guitar work and energetic mood despite mixed reception.
A mixed music column reviews Blue Cheer noting vocal weakness but strong instrumental work and wild rhythm in places, while praising certain tracks and comparing to Jefferson Airplane. The Playhouse concert by Dor Burtoner with Julian Lee Ed Guston and Jacke Dougan in Canberra is highlighted as pivotal for Australian music development and Lee’s international influence.
A Canberra arts guide lists upcoming events across venues. The Canberra Theatre hosts a piano recital with Neidbietsi on September 7 and a film centre presentation of The Pawnbroker. Macquarie Galleries feature Barbara Coburn paintings from mid September.
The review notes PE Clue Cheer reshapes their sound with electronic rock dynamics. It compares them to medieval rock bands like Mimas and the Papas, highlighting Stone Country W as a six member group whose final album has just been released.
