After their recent sold out tour 'Sway Sway Baby live' and their #2 ARIA Smash Hit, Short Stack are again hitting the road again for their third national tour in support of the band's new album Stack Is The New Black. Short Stack (Shaun Diviney guitar / lead vocals, Andy Clemmensen bass / vocals and Bradie Webb drums / keyboards) are undoubtedly one of the hottest young bands in Australia right now, proof enough from the bands recent Channel [V] Oz Artist of the Year win where they'd received over 400,000 votes. The teenaged three-piece from New South Wales' Central Coast has gone on to do what no other Australian music act has successfully achieved - used the combined powers of SMS, YouTube and MySpace to amass a following that's growing by the second; racking up over four million plays on MySpace, with over one million plays for their second single Princess alone, and on top of that, being Australia's biggest band on YouTube with over 2.5 million views of the Short Stack TV series and video clips. In between HSC exams and gigs supporting the likes of The Veronicas, Simple Plan and Good Charlotte, work began on Stack Is The New Black with all the songs written by Shaun. Stack Is The New Black covers a range of styles - from epic ballads to fast and furious electro-tinged rock anthems. Tickets: One price $50.00

The week-long celebration that we have come to know and love as the Gladstone Harbour Festival has a humble past but a very exciting future!
Over 48 years ago the Gladstone Harbour Festival was born - a one-day celebration to greet the winners of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race as they crossed the finishing line. The Festival rapidly expanded to seven days and nights, jam-packed with entertainment that we now know as the Gladstone Harbour Festival. The Festival has enjoyed a huge growth, with over 70 000 spectators visiting the annual event. Much of this success can be contributed to the range and quality free entertainment provided at the Festival throughout the entire week.
