Hank lends a hand for 3WAY
Hank lends a hand for 3WAY - published in the Warrnambool Standard Sept. 14th 2015
AMERICAN country music icon Hank Williams died in 1953, but he’s still doing his bit for Warrnambool community station 3WAY FM
The annual Hank Williams tribute night has been running since 1999 and takes place on Thursday at City Memorial Bowls Club from 7pm.
Organised by Hank fan Mick Schack, the night stars over a dozen south-west acts and is 3WAY FM’s major fund-raiser for the year.
As well as Hank songs, this year’s theme is “place names”, in honour of such Williams songs as Alabama Waltz, Tennessee Border and California Zephyr.
Acts on the bill include Big Love, Lee “Sonnyboy” Morgan, Tank Dilemma, Trevor Keilar, Kayla Dwyer, Lost In Suburbia, and Robyn Gleeson, Streamline, and more.

Loudmouth
Loudmouth first formed in early May 1991 as a Ramones cover band (under the name The Headbangers), with the intention of playing for fun at a party.
Dave, Gary and Robbie were already in another Warrnambool band, Bryon. Dave and Robbie had previously played in several local bands, and Gary had played in Melbourne bands such as Death Sentence and S.T.P. Lots of fun was had at that first gig, and after another party at the Warrnambool Golf Club (where you can't dance on the carpet - only the dancefloor!), further jam sessions resulted in the first original songs (including "Planet K-Mart", "This is Warrnambool" and "Sheep Creep").
The first pub gig for Loudmouth was on May 25th, as support to Bryon at what was then Warrnambools' haven for original bands, The Caledonian Hotel.
Loudmouth built up a reputation of sorts in Warrnambool, playing skate ramp parties and organising their own All-Ages shows.Loudmouth also rebelled against the strong (entrenched) blues scene of the area (with songs like "I'd rather be a roadie than a lagerphone player"), as well as the staid local council, which would not allow condom vending machines to be placed in public toilets ("Geriatric Councillor"). Scandal seemed to follow Loudmouth (not really, it just sounds good to say that), with the band being asked to leave one (poorly promoted) gig in Geelong for being too loud and driving away the regulars in the Public Bar. They were cheated of success at a band competition where some members of the striped shirted crowd spat beer and threw ice-cubes at them. The management of the hotel wanted a local band to win so people would come back next week and drink heaps! Since the release of the Brenda O'Connor EP in March 1993, Loudmouth have been on extended holidays, for it was then that Dave decided to move to Queensland to follow work opportunities. He is still up there.With each of the members at times living in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, Loudmouth are now more of a group of friends who enjoy playing music together than a band. Lately, gigs have been more of a Christmas get together. But Loudmouth is always a part of each of its members, and they're always looking forward to the next chance to play. Gary was playing in Blacklist and Gacy's Place in Adelaide (a split 7" available through Spiral Objective Records), and
Dave is banging away in Disrupt Youth in Brisbane (two 7" and a soon to be released album through Beer City Records). Mick is in a band in Melbourne (I've forgotten the name) and Robbie is in Warrnambool.

Cooper Lower
Cooper Lower
Cooper Lower is a 16 year old singer/songwriter based in Warrnambool, Victoria. (born 1999)
He states: "My motivation is to produce original music that provokes both thought and perspective to the listener. Powerful and influential music has played a pivotal role in my development both as a person and as a musician."Cooper's debut EP titled 'Just A Thought' was released in early September of 2015. The EP consists of five original tracks and has received commendable reviews in regards to songwriting and instrumentation.
Track 5 is called Deluded Minds. He wrote this song trying to imagine what it would be like to live with a severe mental disability or psychiatric illness/disorder. i.e. Autism, Schizophrenia, Severe Bipolar, Chronic Depression etc. He often wonders what goes through the mind of someone who is not able to communicate. This song also touches on the common belief that a person with a mental disability cannot be as intelligent, thoughtful or caring as an abled person. In this song he frequently refers back to 'the man with the lesser mind'. A classic example of a group of people underestimating a person with learning difficulties.

Motorvators
CD cover
At the 3WAY FM concert at Lake Pertobe 1991
The Motorvators were a Warrnambool based rock band from 1983 to 2000. The original line up was John Maroniti and Russell Moody on guitars with Nick How on bass and Ron Philp on drums. The band's first gig was at the Lady Bay hotel on 31 March 1983. The combo was the first local band to operate its own tour bus (immortalised by artist Glenn Morgan on the Compact disc cover. In 2015 the band reformed for a "Back to the bay concert"
SOUND MOVE WITH VOLUME
Warrnambool Standard 24th August 2000 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 2000
Veterans of the local music scene, Motorvators are embracing new technology to recreate their original sound and control volume. Motorvators, which used to play a mixed set of electric and acoustic tracks, have abandoned acoustic music and will now play straight electric sets — but with a difference. The band is taking amplifiers off the stage opting for a new technology to get their sounds heard. "We'll have no amplifiers on stage at all, we're making use of new technology," Motorvators guitarist and vocalist John Maroniti explains. Maroniti said the technology, borrowed from that used in recording studios, was the way of the future. "The days of seeing DC and other bands with rows and rows of speaker cabinets on stage are gone," he said "What we do is we plug into a device that goes straight into the system. It's a lot easier to set up. "In-stead of having an amp and speaker cabinet you plug into a pre-amp device and the signal comes out through a speaker emulator. Then it gets plugged into a PA just like a micro-phone does. Everything comes out of the PA. "It gives you the choice of the sound coming through the speaker box. It allows us to be able to not have too much volume behind us competing with everything. We can control the amount of volume when we are playing in a smaller venue." He said the sound quality was just as good, "some people think it's even better," Maroniti said. The new Motorvators sound can be heard this weekend at the Criterion Hotel on Saturday night and the Cally Hotel on Sunday. Punters can also hear the band's acoustic sounds when Maroniti and Russell Moody team up for a set at the Grand Hotel next Wednesday night.

The Motorvators, joint district winner of the campus bands competition heat.
SOUTH-WEST bands will battle it out on stage tomorrow night for a chance to represent the region at the annual Pushover event in Melbourne in November. Meanwhile, winners of the Warrnambool heat of the National Campus Bands Competition, The Motorvators and Warrna-Grooves, are preparing for their regional final, on September 1 in Geelong. The two bands out-classed a bunch of other local acts to take out the heat at Deakin's Student Union bar last week. The campus bands competition has launched some great musical talent in previous years, including Perth's Jebediah. The two finalists from the Warrnambool Push Battle of the Bands will go on to compete in a regional final in Colac on September 17. Pushover regional winners will follow in the footsteps of Warrnambool bands Tukan Sam and Piffen Yonnies with a berth in the state final, to be held at the Corner Hotel in Richmond. Quirky four-piece Tukan Sam took out third place at the Pushover gig in 1997 before going on to record debut album What A Corker. Since Piffen Yonnies' appearance at Pushover last year, the threesome have also recorded a debut album and moved to Melbourne to pursue their musical career. Regional and state winners will not only benefit from the exposure of Pushover but also will be given studio time to record their winning songs. The heat will be held at the Warrnambool Performing Arts Centre from 6.30pm tomorrow. Tickets for the all-ages drug and alcohol-free event are $5 at the door.
LOCAL BANDS GO LIVE AT GALLERY
Warrnambool Standard 17th June 1999 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 1999.
THE Gallery Nightclub is going live loud and local again this week with four original south-west bands plus solo entertainers. Headlining tonight's gig is Threepwood, a south-west four-piece consisting of Harry Fahey on drums, Chris Wombwell on bass guitar, Brett McKinney on guitar and Simon Nuske on lead vocals. Threepwood have been playing gigs around Warrnambool for three years, including venues such as the Lady Bay Hotel and the Criterion. Tonight will be the band's first appearance at the Gallery. Also in the line-up is three-piece original band Ridalin and Portland's Ill Manner. A highlight of the night should be a full electric set from The Motorvators. Solo artists Nick Costa and Matt Neal will entertain the crowd with some acoustic numbers between sets. Prizes including drinks cards and vouchers will be handed out to lucky music fans at the door. Keep an eye out in a fortnight for the next Gallery live and local night, when Melbourne band Sex Bombs will take to the stage, with Portland band Cause & Effect, Cherry Swamp and local cover band Tarp.
NEW MUSICIANS GIVEN A HEARING
Warrnambool Standard 18th March 1999 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 1999.
AN initiative to get local original musicians on stage in Warrnambool kicked off with a bang last week and promises to go from strength to strength. Last Thursday night's gig at the Gallery night-club featured It's Your Thing, Nutshell, The Motorvators and new-comers Post Alluvium. Organiser and Tafe music industry skills course coordinator Lyn Eales said the night,which is scheduled to become a fortnightly event, was extremely successful. Claire Hussey made her debut as It's Your Thing's newest member, the Motorvators played a full electric set and Paul Smith picked up the guitar to entertain the crowd between band sets. Ms Eales said the aim of the gigs is to provide a variety of music for the punters as well as giving emerging bands a chance to play supportslots. Former and present Tafe MIS students will be taking care of the technical side of things like sound mixing and lighting, and solo performers will be encouraged to take the stage during changeovers. The next event, scheduled for March 25, will feature Lee Morgan, No Exit and Mix Bowl, which is fresh from recording sessions at Motherlode studios.

Nancie Schipper
Talented teen has it covered
Published in the Warrnambool Standard May 28th 2015
Killarney singer-songwriter Nancie Schipper is wasting no time in building up a back catalogue. At just 15 years of age, the talented Emmanuel College student is only months away from releasing her debut album. The first single, Haunted House, has been released on iTunes nd Spotify along with an accompanying film clip shot by Warrnambool director Steve Miller. Schipper said she loved working on the video. “I was really nervous that I would have to pose and that’s so un-me, but Steve was lovely to work with,” she said. “I really enjoyed the acting side of it — I’m not good at drama at school but I enjoyed doing the film clip. “It was awesome (and) it turned out better than I expected.” The clip has already picked up about 1000 views since going online this week. The song is the first taste of the album, which is receiving its finishing touches at Pete Bird’s Yelp Studios in Warrnambool. “I’ve thrown myself into the deep end,” she laughed. “Most people have a long time before they do an album, so it’s been hard not even knowing the basic things, like having to get used to (recording to) a metronome. “But I wanted the experience. I know music is something I want to do so I wanted to just record my music — I felt like I was ready. “I’m super-glad I’m doing it now.” Schipper had previously recorded as part of the Kool Skools program and won the award for best acoustic track with female vocals at last year’s Kool Skool Awards. But the experience of working with Bird at Yelp Studio and alongside guest musicians such as Tom Richardson, Heidi Gass, Ben Croft and Jayden Galbraith was already proving to be more rewarding. “It’s very different (to recording with Kool Skools),” she said. “With Kool Skools you have two-and-a-half hours and you can’t do any more because everyone has to have a go, so this is much more flexible and allows for more creativity.” The album will feature 11 originals and two covers, and Schipper said she had been throwing her originals into the setlist for the cover gigs she’s been doing at venues around the region. “I love singing the originals live,” she explained. “A few people have said I get into singing the originals more — I guess singing covers is sort of acting, but with the originals you know what it’s about and feel the emotions carrying them more than the covers.” You can next catch Schipper live at The Last Coach in Warrnambool on June 5 (2015)

Killarney singer-songwriter Nancie Schipper is wasting no time in building up a back catalogue. At just 15 years of age, the talented Emmanuel College student is only months away from releasing her debut album. The first single, Haunted House, has been released on iTunes nd Spotify along with an accompanying film clip shot by Warrnambool director Steve Miller. Schipper said she loved working on the video. “I was really nervous that I would have to pose and that’s so un-me, but Steve was lovely to work with,” she said. “I really enjoyed the acting side of it — I’m not good at drama at school but I enjoyed doing the film clip. “It was awesome (and) it turned out better than I expected.” The clip has already picked up about 1000 views since going online this week.
