The British actress stars as Elphaba in the hotly-anticipated musical movie, which premieres on Friday, November 22, and tells the story of the oft-misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West.

Elphaba’s close friendship with Glinda (played by Ariana Grande), her romance…

Indie Rock Icons The Libertines Set to Return to Australia in April 2024 – Backseat Mafia
The Libertines are heading back to Australia next year, marking their first tour since 2018, and the timing couldn’t feel more right. There’s a certain poetry in their return—a band that defined the grit and romance of early 2000s indie rock, still managing to stir up anticipation like it’s 2004 all over again. Pete Doherty and Carl Barât, the duo whose chaotic partnership fueled their rise, have always embodied the beautiful mess of rock ‘n’ roll—wild, unpredictable, but somehow enduring. The Libertines emerged in the early 2000s as one of the most influential bands of the indie rock and post-punk revival scene, led by the magnetic and often turbulent duo…

4 Trans Women Talk About Their Bridal Beauty Experiences
Corey Rae grew up dreaming of her fairytale wedding. At five years old, she started to draw pictures of herself in a wedding dress and wanted to emulate her favorite Disney Princess, Ariel from “The Little Mermaid.” But for Rae, a content creator and trans activist, this daydream meant more than seeing herself walk down the aisle in a beautiful white dress.

Goat – Goatbrain – Backseat Mafia
Goat share their second single, ‘Goatbrain’, to be taken from their self-titled album, due out the 11th October via Rocket Recordings. This follows from the first taste with single, ‘Ouroboros‘. The Ouroboros – the icon of the snake or dragon eating its own tail – appears to some a statement of the brutality of nature. To others of a Gnostic disposition it symbolises the duality of the divine and earthly in mankind. But most commonly, it’s taken simply to mean the endless cycles of death and rebirth that characterise life on this planet. As such, it’s an image that looms large in the world of Goat, the ever-mysterious and endlessly revivifying collective whose latest album marks another…
