I Love You Bro is playing at the Street Theatre between the 15th and the 26th of May.

The Human Rights Arts and Film Festival returns to Canberra again this year on Monday 28 – Wednesday 30 May.

This festival aims to celebrate awareness of, and participation in Human Rights and will showcase a special selection of its best international documentaries over three nights.

On Wednesday 30th May at 7pm, five double passes are up for grabs to see the festival’s closing night film, Splinters.

It was a brutally cold May evening in the capital when Daniel Merriweather landed at the trendy little cavern that is Zierholz @ UC.

Those attempting to escape the chill were in for a delectable treat, as the night opened with local six-piece, Funkasaurus.

I had never heard of this group but was pleasantly surprised to discover that the majority of the band was made up of members from the Canberran hip hop group; Raw City Rukus.

For any artist, up and coming or established, a major desire is for their work to be appreciated, to gain notoriety and to be used as a platform to create a name for themselves.

For local Canberra girl Jess Cochrane this dream is fast becoming reality, and at only the tender age of 20.
