We know Heather from around town. Heather is a lovely, warm, kind and gentle human being, so naturally we were very excited to find out about her art exhibition ALTERED ENERGIES which is happening this week, details below.
Heather gets out to alot of shows and she takes some pretty amazing photos of bands strutting their stuff out there on the local scene.
We knew she had a busy schedule this week getting ready for the show, but we just wanted to ask her a few little questions and she was kind enough to give us some very deep and thoughtful answers. And knowing that this is her first ever interview makes this little article very dear and special to us here at MSR HQ. Thanks Heather.
This is what she had to say.
X
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Canberra. Spent most of my childhood there, except for two years where I lived in Vancouver, Canada and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the States while my dad was teaching over there.
Nationality?
Australian
Can you recall one of your favourite early childhood memories?
I was really lucky to have the opportunity to live overseas for two years while my dad taught. I had one of my favourite art teachers over there Mr D who really encouraged me to draw more, and had the special experience of travelling by bus across the states from Vancouver to Pittsburgh with my family as a child. It really stands out as a significant part of my childhood. There are a lot of memories of walking from one music store to the next, as Dad checked out all the vinyls and CDs, which at that time were much cheaper than here.
Did you come from an artist family or did you pick photography up somewhere?
I didn’t come from a really artistic family, but a creative upbringing was encouraged. The parents exposed me to a lot of inspiration, encouraging me to be free in my expression and try different things. I played music, did pottery and painting, dance classes, and loved writing stories.
Dad had a huge passion for music. He was the radio DJ while at uni and I loved hunting through his vinyls looking at all the artwork. I also remember coming across some amazing drawings my mum had ‘doodled’ on some paper and being inspired by these to draw more so I could get better.
I have always enjoyed taking photos. I learn’t some photography while studying graphic design in Canberra at the University of Canberra, but didn’t really nurture the skill until after uni. Then I had more of an opportunity to experiment at gigs and art events, where I most enjoyed using my camera, and also while travelling overseas. I lived with a talented photographer for a year, Katrina James, who now lives in Berlin, and through hanging with her I rekindled my interest in photography and decided to play around with it more. I also did a workshop in concert photography with photojournalist Damian Baker that allowed me to further develop my interest in that area.
You have a cool art exhibition ALTERED ENERGIES coming up this week with sculpture artist Simon Clarke, can you tell us about how it all came together?
Simon and I work together as graphic designers during the day. Simon Clarke specialises in printmaking and sculpture. I really admire his patience and dedication to his creative work. A lot of time, detail and work go in to each of his prints and sculpture pieces. We regularly share our work with each other and attend exhibitions together. We share a passion for similar things. Gaffa is a gallery we both attend frequently, and we had a moment one night that we thought we should grab the opportunity to display our work there.
What is your editing process when it comes to photos?
I want my photos to stand out, and capture the excitement and energy of the music and night. This can alter how I choose to display the photos. I try to be respectable of the band and audience, and communicate as best as possible how the music communicates with me. Every member of the band is important, and so is the audience’s response. So try to choose the best shot for each. I also try to keep in mind that people don’t want to see the same image over and over again, so try to capture a variety of different angles and moods.
Describe your typical day of making art.
Every day varies. I work full-time as a graphic designer so my week is pretty jam-packed. I usually take my camera with me to gigs and occasionally art openings, and when I have time in the evenings I usually sketch from images that inspire me, both images I have taken myself, and images I have found on the net or in magazines. I like to use charcoal, pastels and graphite since they are forgiving and allow me to mould the image into what I want to communicate.
What inspires you to remain creative?
I believe creative expression is so important. It has helped me get through lots of difficult times. It can also be used to inspire change. Constantly exposing myself to music and art events keeps me energetic and inspired. I have also learnt that you may not always feel like there is any creative energy there, but once you start whatever it is you do and let go of expectations the energy usually starts to flow.
You have a big passion for local music, what’s your opinion about the health of Sydney music right now?
I think it’s very healthy. The talent is mind-blowing. Feel really lucky to be getting exposed to the Sydney talent at the moment. It is sad to see so many venues closing down, and restrictions on noise control being inflicted, but at the same time, lots of new exciting things are popping up all over the place. Brighton Up Bar, Oxford Art Factory, World Bar, the Annandale, Beach Road Hotel, Bucklers Canteen, Club 77 and the Hand Games events are all putting on great bands, meaning that you can see great talent nearly every night of the week.
There is also a strong sense of community and support amongst Sydney and Melbourne’s creative communities, which I love. We generally all support one another, rather then put each other down.
If there was anything you could change what would that be?
There seems to be a constant struggle with noise restrictions arising, and venues closing due to lack of support and funds. I guess I would like to encourage more support for the arts from the community and councils. Artists of all forms are the drivers of inspiration and change, so they are vital in creating a more exciting, happening place to live in, along with ensuring the best for everyone in their support for social causes. With the easy access to music and the arts on the internet now, people possibly become lazy and less likely to go out and support some of the smaller shows. High entrance costs may also be a contributor, as people try to be careful with money. Smaller shows however can be some of the best events, possibly because they are trying even harder to get attention amongst all the noise.
Do you have any favourite gigs?
In the past year I was blown away by the Brian Jonestown Massacre, who I saw play both at the Metro and Oxford Art Factory. They were amazing and can’t wait to see them again. The Black Angels also put on an amazing show last year at the Metro. Other stand out shows for me this year have included local acts including the Fait Accompli EP launch at the Annandale earlier this year, and Melbourne bands Royston Vasie and Immigrant Union playing at FBI Social in October. The passion for music was intense and wonderful at both of these events and made me so proud of Australian music.
Favourite local bands?
Have a huge affection for psychedelic, rock and blues so totally dig Sydney bands The Jones Rival, The Chitticks, GROUP, Walking Who, Unity Floors, Regular John and Melbourne bands, Courtney Barnett, Immigrant Union and Royston Vasie
Do you have any other art projects in the pipeline?
Doing this show has totally inspired new ideas! Already has me thinking about ideas for things I can draw or paint or ways I can use my photos. Will see how this show goes first, but definitely keen to do more.
Have been doing some artwork for a book being put together for The Dandy Warhols by Justine Penklis. Still a work in progress. A section of it is collecting artwork inspired by their music and I am contributing to this, along with some of my photos of The Dandy Warhols’ drummer, Brent DeBoer.
Are you a movie buff or a book head?
I like both, but I am probably more of a movie buff. Love Dendy and alternative indie films.
Cremation or Burial?
Cremation. My father was cremated and asked to have his ashes sprinkled around one of his favourite places. I have decided this is what I would like too. Really don’t like the idea of being buried under the ground for some reason.
Any last words of wisdom?
Bit of a cliché but I really believe be true to yourself, and follow your heart and what you love. Take risks and step outside your comfort zone. It can be scary but the rewards that come with doing it are so much greater. Also, believe everything happens for a reason. I have found even the negative things brought about a positive later in life for me. So I try to keep that in mind, and not take things too seriously.

News has come about the release of PUSSY RIOT member, Yekaterina Samutsevich. The other two members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova face two years hard labour in a Russian prison colony. It’s a bitter-sweet day for Pussy Riot and their supporters worldwide, but we’ll keep on supporting and spreading the word about the FREE PUSSY RIOT movement.
Release of Yekaterina Samutsevich prompts conspiracy theories as colleagues led away to complete two-year sentences

For seven months, the world got to know Pussy Riot as three women defiantly smirking inside a glass cage as they issued a rare challenge toVladimir Putin and the justice system that serves him. On Wednesday, the trio was separated when a Moscow court set free Yekaterina Samutsevich, the oldest and quietest of the Pussy Riot three, while ordering her two bandmates to serve the rest of their two-year sentences in a Russian prison colony.
The two women who remain in jail, Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, smiled through light tears after hugging Samutsevich goodbye. They then placed their hands through an opening in the court’s glass cage, waiting for guards to cuff their wrists and lead them away. (more…)
If you weren’t at the epic FREE PUSSY RIOT show last weekend up in Byron Bay at the Great Northern, well here’s a little something to inspire you to come to the next Riot!
Last Saturday 6 October a massive crowd of Byron Bay party makers dropped into the Great Northern Hotel for what was an amazing night of music, film and good vibrations. A big thank you goes out to all the bands who played at this special show; Fait Accompli, Pirates Alive, Mylee and the Milkshakes, Bec and Ben, The Deers. Special thanks to Tallow Gallery for premiering their amazing short film JOURNEY and The Great Northern for being a great venue. Also a big huge thanks to Willie, Kyle and Jodi for getting the word out around Byron Bay and making everything amazing.
Join us at the next FREE PUSSY RIOT event, LA FEMME an all girl gig, music and art show which takes place on Friday 26 October in Sydney. Music Lineup and Artist Lineup to be announced shortly. (A few spaces left for the art exhibition email: mysydneyriot@gmail.com) You don’t want to miss this.
In the mean time we just wanted to say THANK YOU BYRON BAY! for helping us spread awareness about the plight of our PUSSY RIOT sisters in Russia. You’re rad people who really know how to be free and have a good time. Keep on Rockin!
Here’s an inspiring interview by Pussy Riot from Jail.
FREE PUSSY RIOT!
They’ve become global heroes and foils to the macho rule of Vladimir Putin. But not even a two-year prison term can keep Russia’s celebrated punk band muzzled. Michael Idov smuggled a few questions into the grrrls’ gulag. Judging by their answers, the riot is just getting warmed up
Nadya Tolokonnikova enters the courtroom vowing resistance.
This year, Russia launched its first crossover pop stars since the days of Gorky Park—and it’s done so by throwing them in jail. Pussy Riot, a feminist punk collective that staged guerrilla performances all over Moscow (culminating in a “punk prayer” in a cathedral, which got three of its members arrested), showed up on every front page from Libération to the New York Post and single-handedly revived riot-grrrl chic. Meanwhile, the fate of the three prisoners—Nadezhda “Nadya” Tolokonnikova, Maria “Masha” Alyokhina, and Yekaterina “Katya” Samutsevich—became an international cause, championed by everyone from Madonna to David Cameron. Sentenced to two years each on the absurd charge of “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred,” the “girls,” as everyone in Russia calls them, are getting by without the Internet, only vaguely aware of their global celebrity. GQ managed to correspond with them by slipping questions in with their lawyers. Katya’s answers got confiscated. Nadya’s and Masha’s follow.
GQ: What is your average day like now? How do you get the news from the outside? Masha: They have small, medium, and large cells here. We’re in three different small ones. Only the large cells have in-room showers; we get showers once a week. After 6 a.m., you’re not allowed to sleep under a blanket. Theoretically, until lights-out at 10 p.m., you’re not allowed to sleep at all, but in practice you can lie on top of the blanket and cover yourself with your coat. Nobody can explain why; the only answer you hear to any question is “That’s the rule” and “We keep to a regimen here.” Every day there’s an hour-long walk in a “yard,” which is a concrete box with two benches and a sliver of sky between a cement wall and a plastic roof. It’s all “Hug the wall” this and “Hands behind your back” that. They search our cells regularly and confiscate our drawings and notes. Why? “The rules.” Pretty much the only news we get is from federal TV channels. Only now do I realize the sheer amount of lies and censorship there. When you have the Internet, you don’t feel it as sharply. But once a week our lawyers bring us different news, words of support, and that helps a lot. (more…)
After our packed out event at Flinders Hotel in Sydney a few weeks back which featuring the most punk party lineup we’ve ever put together on a Wednesday, featuring NZ punk royalty DIE! DIE! DIE! and some of Sydney’s best current crop of punk vibration bands; FAIT ACCOMPLI, BLOODS, THE RUMINATERS, SWEET TEETH and BEC AND BEN, we decided to take the FREE PUSSY RIOT party to the North, yes that’s Byron Bay Y’all! Yes the Great Northern, one Australia’s most exciting live venues agreed to have us. Joining us on the night will be; FAIT ACCOMPLI (Syd), PIRATES ALIVE (Gold Coast), MYLEE AND THE MILKSHAKES (Syd), BEC AND BEN (Syd) and THE DEERS (Byron Bay), so yes we’re bringing a crazy party of good times to boot.
Also featuring on the night will be the special debut screening of a breathtaking short film by local Byron Bay label TALLOW GALLERY starring talented young up and coming surfer with punk attitude aplenty, Cloudy Rhodes. The film titled JOURNEY sees Cloudy traverse through some epic landscapes from South Africa to Mozambique and Swaziland. This film ties in with the important message that women and all humans alike have every right to get out there and share their stories with the world, a right of passage which unfortunately still remains a rare concept in many societies, even in these modern times. This film is not to be missed.
We can’t wait to get up there Byron Bay, so bring along your friends, dress colourful or bring a colourful balaclava and a smile and help us celebrate our right to freedom of speech, a right which wasn’t afforded to the three members of Russian punk band PUSSY RIOT, Yekaterina Samutsevich, Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova who are currently serving two years jail for speaking our against their government.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We want people to know that our support of the FREE PUSSY RIOT movement is for peaceful and creative purposes only. Our goal is to inspire friends to speak out using creativity as a positive force to create change through music and art. The sponsors and supporters who come on board don’t support us as a marketing ploy, instead we have all felt a natural human urge to come together and give our time freely as we stand side by side in solidarity to support our jailed sisters PUSSY RIOT and stand up for our god given right to Freedom of Speech. Nothing more and nothing less.
Dear Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich,
The last few days have been very emotional for us here at MSR HQ and we have felt a great deal of sadness for what the outcome is for PUSSY RIOT. We did the best that we could from our end of the world and unfortunately the powers that are right now bigger than all of us have taken a stand for what they believe in and now you have to serve 2 years hard labour and that really sucks man. It just saddens us to know that freedom of speech comes at a heavy price in your Country Russia and unfortunately you are the ones who are paying that price.
We here at MY SYDNEY RIOT will be doing all we can with our friends from all over Australia to spread awareness about PUSSY RIOT over the coming days, months and even years if we have to, so strengthen your resolve and know that the power of the people is growing too here in our own Country. We are all feeling inspired and for some reason what has happened to you has awoken many of us from a creative black hole and we hope that we can get out there and live a little more than how we have in the past.
We’ll be organising more shows, art shows and we’ll be playing drums where we can when we can. We are all highly creative here in our town and through connecting with our friends we’ll be sending out a message to the world and it’s not one of hate or anger, but our message is that “FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS A RIGHT TO ALL!
In the mean time here’s a few activities we got up to in celebration of PUSSY RIOT. We hope you ladies will enjoy listening, watching and learning about us, your punk rock brothers and sisters from Australia.
If you don’t get to see what we have done, we just want you to know that we are with you all the way, in spirit. Be strong!
Peace and Love,
MY SYDNEY RIOT crew and all PUSSY RIOT supporters from Australia
Our Music Community have come together with this special message of support for PUSSY RIOT in the form of a Music Compilation. We hope you ladies get this and rock out where you are!
We dedicate this record to the struggle of PUSSY RIOT and anyone out there who is struggling with human rights and freedom of speech worldwide.
Thanks to all the amazing bands who’ve given up their music for such an amazing cause.
To celebrate the launch of MY PUSSY RIOT tune into FBi Radio this morning from 7.30am where we’ll be talking with Sally Knight talking all things PUSSY RIOT and SYDNEY DRUM RIOT.
ATTENTION ALL DRUMMERS!
ATTENTION ALL PUSSY LOVERS!
ATTENTION ALL MUSIC LOVERS!
FRIDAY 17 AUGUST 2012 IS PUSSY RIOT GLOBAL DAY!
This is also the day when sentencing will be handed for three members of Russian Punk band PUSSY RIOT. Their crime was a video performance of their protest song ‘Punk Prayer’ inside a church. The video went viral. They are facing three – seven years jail.We invite you all to join us at TAYLOR SQUARE, Darlinghurst from 4pm this Friday for SYDNEY DRUM RIOT! FOR PUSSY RIOT!
So join us Sydney, share this event with any of your music loving friends. Wear a Balaclava, bring a Drum, bring anything to bang on.
So lets rock out some positive beat of the drum and spread the love for PUSSY RIOT!
Moscow’s Khamovnichesky District Court will hand down a sentence on three members of the Pussy Riot feminist punk band accused of disorderly conduct at the Christ the Savior Cathedral on August 17.
The defendants made their last pleas on Wednesday, and Judge Marina Syrova presiding over the hearings retired for handing down a ruling on the case. Prosecutors asked the court to sentence the three women to three years in prison each on Tuesday.
If you Google FREE PUSSY RIOT, it is pretty clear that one of the most organic revolutions is taking place right now on planet earth. Not a guilt ridden plea for people to open their hearts and wallets, but a creative revolution full of so much colour which can definitely be attributed to the power of music and art. In a very short amount of time some of the most respected people in music today have come out and raised their voices in support of the FREE PUSSY RIOT! Campaign.
Maybe the answer to world peace really does lie within music and art? How will this go down with Governments when they eventually realise that fear and war really is not the answer? It’s something that may actually never happen, but we all live in hope.
So while all this is going on and people are getting behind this cause, our question is “SYDNEY! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?”
Ok we know you’re getting ready right? More info for your involvement is coming, but for now feel free to write the following words where ever you can “FREE PUSSY RIOT!” and post it up on the internets!
For those who are yet to be convinced, take some inspiration from the following artists below…
150 people gather in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg for a ‘Free Pussy Riot’ Protest video. The event was organized by Berlin-living Canadian electro-punk artist Peaches. The participants wore multicolored masks and demanded freedom for PUSSY RIOT!
A message from Yoko Ono to Putin!
Mr. Putin, you are a wise man.
You don’t need to fight with musicians and their friends.
Please FREE PUSSY RIOT! And keep space in the prison for serious criminals.
Madonna supports PUSSY RIOT with a 5 minute speech during her show in Moscow.
Even Anthony Keidis of Red Hot Chili Peppers came out on a few occasions in support of PUSSY RIOT!
Mike Patton from Fait No More Reprazents at a recent show in Russia!
Anarchic punk band Damn Terran give it up for the PUSSY RIOT at one of their shows in their home town of Melbourne, Australia!
The legendary Patti Smith speaking out at on of her recent concerts!
Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova arrives at court
Some pretty crazy scenarios seem to have taken place over night with Mr Putin giving out some pretty backflipped answers to the media while visiting the London Olympics this week.
“There is nothing good in what they did,” news agencies quoted Mr Putin as saying in reference to the three Pussy Riot members
“Nevertheless, I do not think that they should be judged too severely for this.”
He also said he hoped the Pussy Riot members “will draw their own conclusions” and learn from their mistakes.
“It is the court that issues the final ruling,” he said.
There has been a massive onslaught of international exposure of this grass-roots campaign due to the support of actors and musicians like Peter Gabrielle, Stephen Fry, Sting, Patti Smith, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Anti Flag, Amnesty International and the community at large. It seems like the power of the people does hold strength somewhere out there in the world, but still, we’ll just have to wait and see.
As a human being living in Sydney, you feel a little helpless about this situation which is going on in Russia. This article which was written by Carole Cadwalladrfor THE GUARDIAN gives a clear insight into the struggle that PUSSY RIOT are facing. And if you get through to the end, we are pretty sure you’ll feel inspired.
Yes we are living in the Lucky Country, but this struggle is a big wake up call to us all. Questions like “What are we all really doing out here?” come to mind. Are we really just going to walk through life and just pay our bills and taxes and be done with it? Or do we want to affect some kind of positive and creative change in our society? in our life time? We surely do hope so! Yes! we’re not in Russia, but at times we are prisoners to our own minds, stuck on Facebook feeds, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, a constant barrage of pointless messages. So maybe in a strange way this is what we’ve all been waiting for? A Revolution! be it a creative revolution?
Pussy Riot on Putin, ‘punk prayers’ and superheroes – video: Khristina Narizhnaya Link to this video
The feminist collective hit the headlines when three members were arrested after an anti-Putin protest. Now they face up to seven years in jail, a prospect that has shocked and radicalised many Russians. On the eve of their trial, some of the women speak exclusively
For two very full, very long days in Moscow, I have talked constantly to people about Pussy Riot. About how, back in February, three young women from a feminist punk-rock band sang a song in Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. How they were arrested, imprisoned, refused bail, and now face up to seven years in jail. How the orders for this seem to have come right from the very top of the Russian government. And how their trial – starting tomorrow – seems certain to become a defining moment in Putin’s political career.
It is, many people say (practically everybody, in fact), a moment whenRussia‘s future is, in some as yet undetermined way, being decided.
At 9pm on Thursday night, I’m at a rally of a couple of thousand anti-government protesters, hearing Pussy Riot’s name being chanted in the crowd, and I think I have a grasp of the story. It’s an astonishing tale of how three young women have brought Putin his biggest political headache yet. A story about art versus power. Of civil society versus church and state. Or as one film-maker who’s documenting it says, “punks versus Putin”. (He goes on to say, “It’s Crime and Punishment, basically, but there’s also a band in jail so it’s a bit like The Monkees. Or a really warped Beatles film.”) (more…)
Matthew Gillett who used to run the infamous Annandale Hotel was once involved in a bit of a scuffle with a douche bag who decided that the wall near the sound desk was a toilet for him to write tags on. Anyway it resulted in a serious head injury for poor Matt which led to a serious bout of depression and anxiety. This was a couple of years ago now.
Through a self affirming life transformation Matt is now Matthew Gillett – Visual Artist. He took a journey to Bali and undertook a massive personal art project which in turn led him to a place of true healing and self discovery.
It’s pretty amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. Seriously, watch this short film and get inspired.

We were trying to get some photos of DAMN TERRAN from their show with DZ DEATHRAYS in Brisbane last week, but apparently now with the new government who have just been voted in, you can go to jail for copyright infringement in Brisbane. True story, crazy crayfish man. So instead we decided to get one of the work experience kids at ARTIST UNION to do some quick illustrations of the band making explosions.
Just in case you didn’t know who the members of DAMN TERRAN were, here’s a small introduction.
So we already kicked things off in March with the talented THE E.L.F w- special guests DEP & JEP and that was a lot of fun.
Now we’ve got the very talented MYLEE GRACE joining us in Bondi with THE MILKSHAKES and special guests + our awesome Resident djs BANG! BANG! ROCK N’ ROLL spinning Classic Rock n’ Roll tunes all night.
Mylee Grace will be returning to the studio very soon to record her next offering, so stay tuned for that. It is sure to be something very special indeed.
In the mean time pop down for a fun Thursday night hang.
