THE PURGE #52

• It’s one of EMI’s biggest releases of the year and it’s new at Aussie media this week. It is, of course, ‘She’s Kinda Hot’, the new single from Aussie boys 5 Seconds Of Summer, which shot straight to the top of the iTunes singles chart on its release on Friday last week.
• ‘She’s Kinda Hot’ is one of a number of new tunes making their way to media this week. Others include the aforementioned Daniel Johns and Calvin Harris singles (‘We Are Golden’ and ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ respectively), plus new tunes from Cosmo’s Midnight, Sigma and Tuka. We’ll publish a more comprehensive list of the newbies over on our FACEBOOK page tomorrow.
• Hip hop legends Naughty By Nature will be back in Australia in November this year for a series of performances as part of their 25th Anniversary tour. The trio will play shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, along with dates in Wollongong and Rooty Hill and tickets for all are on sale now.
• Pure Gold Live is set to return to the stage in Sydney later this year, again with a raft of top name Aussie talent ready to roll out the hits. Hordern Pavilion will once again play host to the concert, which is set down for Saturday October 31. Among those performing are John Paul Young, Choirboys, 1927, Pseudo Echo, Deborah Conway, Wa Wa Nee, Dragon, The Badloves and Ross Wilson, along with a yet-to-be-announced “special mystery guest”. Tickets are on sale from 9am on Monday August 03.
