Clare Bowditch has ‘enumerable modern day addictions.’ “You know the day when you have 12 coffees instead of two? They’re coping strategies, ways of coping with stress. It’s when it goes beyond the enjoyment factor that it becomes a modern day addiction.”

And Clare should know, it’s been 24 months of research and conversation to create her latest and fourth studio album, Modern Day Addiction (released 13 August 2010). It’s been a long time coming and bursts with interesting content about inner-peace and satirical stabs at pop culture.

Last Friday night the ANU Bar opened its doors to one of Canberra’s finest emerging bands, Starfish Hill.

Having just returned from recording at Sydney’s Maniac and Glebe studios, the band was well rehearsed and it showed as they performed to a modest Canberran audience.

Led by engaging front-man Tim Dyer, Starfish Hill performed without lead guitarist Brendan Anderson. Despite missing Anderson, there was not a noticeable lack of sound or energy, especially with the solidity of the guitar work of Tim Dyer.
