SUNSTRUCK - THE MOVIE OF WAXING THE SUN
99% of bands don't achieve a careless whisper of the success that they set out to achieve. Most give up early on. But what happens to the bands that don't give up?

Old women groupies, personality disorders, dog fondling, infighting, drug love, hearing loss ... and well, music.

Waxing The Sun is probably the most spectacularly unknown band in the history of modern pop music. For ten years they lived the dream - quite literally. In 1987 they played their first gig to a handful of old women and children in a suburban park - they thought they were at Woodstock! The band went on to perform at school halls, hospital Christmas parties, seedy pubs, seedier nightclubs, theatre productions, and the odd children's party. Waxing The Sun also recorded over one hundred songs and had nearly as many line-up changes.

Mark Luffman, esteemed UK music journalist and avid music fan, managed to track down and interview nearly all of the members of the band and their long suffering manager. He was also able to persuade Adrian Rosenfeldt, the founding member and Don Quixote of the band, to open up his closely guarded collection of performance footage, priceless memorabilia and film clips - some of the most low-budget clips you will ever see!

Come and hear and see for yourself just what went on during the ten-year reign of Waxing The Sun.

If you've ever followed a dream that has a tenuous grasp on reality, this is a film for you!

THE WORST OF GOOD LOVE

You've had The Best Of Bad Love.
Now try Adrian Rosenfeldt's new companion EP, The Worst Of Good Love.

These new songs take us on a journey through the rougher, more unstable manifestations of love.“Cheating” and“All I Want Is To Be True” show us the conflicting emotions of love: guilt and desperation, but also optimism and tenacity. A countrified take on“Total Eclipse Of The Heart”, and the foot-stomping “Little Victories” complete the package, giving us equal measures of heartache and stoic acceptance.

The Worst Of Good Love will be launched on August 16 at Daguerre's Gallery, 322 Chapel St, Prahran. Local artist Michael Leuner will also be exhibiting his new work. Wine and fingerfood will be provided. Proceedings kick off at 6:30 PM.

WHITE MAN CD LAUNCH

Were you one of the few to slip between the cracks of Elton John and Billy Joel? Did your ticket get lost in the post? Feeling a bit cheated and a bit left out? Want to see a tall man with hair?

Adrian Rosenfeldt will be launching his new EP White Man, with two showcase gigs on December the 13th and December the 20th. He will be performing at Dirty Secrets - 80 Smith street, Collingwood. Just walk down the stairs and into the most intimate and beguiling venue in Melbourne. Both shows start at 9 PM.

Adrian Rosenfeldt'sWhite Man EP is now available digitally. Just type in Adrian Rosenfeldt and White Man into Google and you will see there are many ways to listen to and download the EP.

GIG AT DIRTY SECRETS

After the large summer breakAdrian Rosenfeldt returned to the stage and played a ripsnorting gig at Dirty Secrets. Most of the set was new, as was the look - red-tinted sunglasses, sparkling silver shirt and tight black pants. There was none of the fingerpicking and storytelling of his last EP The Best Of Bad Love. This was a night of pop. The new songs were full of hooks and punch. I couldn't make out all the words but there seemed to be a strong sense of humour prevailing. The set opened with “Calm Your Roosters” and then we were treated to five new songs in a row. A song called “Dorty Daze” was the highlight, along with a tune introduced as “If you had a button that made you feel good, would you push it?”Adrian finished the set with two Waxing The Sun tunes “Julie” and “Big Brown Bag” which didn't seem out of place with the new material. It was an intense thirty or so minutes and I would love to hear these new songs again when they are recorded.
