MINI NEWS WRAP

* We’re not quite sure what to make of the brand new JLS track ‘The Club Is Alive’ (pictured). It pays a little lip service to the musical ‘The Sound Of Music’ and is set for UK release in early July. Hear it HERE.
* There have been a couple of changes to venues for the forthcoming Rickie Lee Jones tour. Her Perth show, scheduled for the Concert Hall, will now take place at the Octagon Theatre, while her Brisbane show, originally slated for the QPAC Concert Hall, has now been transferred to The Tivoli.
* Ricki-Lee’s manager tells us that after spending a little time concentrating on the US side of things (due to her single ‘Can’t Touch It’ being included on the Sex And The City 2 soundtrack), Ricki-Lee is readying a new local single before releasing her long-awaited album ‘Hear No, See No, Speak No’.
* More musical guests will take to the stage for tonight’s episode of Hey Hey It’s Saturday. Fans can catch Rogue Traders, Gin Wigmore and crooner Patrizio Buanne performing live (separately, obviously…).
* Set the alarm for bright and early tomorrow morning when Australian Idol Stan Walker visits Brekky Central to perform his new single ‘Unbroken’. Catch him live at 7:40am.
* Up for digital single release this weekend are Hurts’ single ‘Better Than Love’, Diana Vickers’ UK No.1 ‘Once’ and Grum’s ‘Can’t Shake This Feeling’.
* And EMI has revealed that Katy Perry’s new album ‘Teenage Dream’ will be released in Australia on Friday August 27. The first single from the EP, ‘California Gurls’ is already impacting at local digital retail, already in the iTunes top 15.
