It's not just RnB songs too, as generally popular “white” bands like Nirvana, Radiohead and Daft Punk have also become signifiers for producers of black music, and their tracks were covered spectacularly at the Garden.

PIAF - Haze - Beijing Dance Theatre - Until 1/3/14
Finally! Someone creates a dance performed on a large scale mattress. As chaotic as that may seem, the Beijing Dance Theatre has truly mastered the concept.
PIAF - Wire - Chevron Gardens 24/02/14
If Wire had advertised a Pink Flag tribute/memorial tour they'd be selling this joint out and headlining arts festivals like this. Their live shows are maybe the worse for it, lacking the kind of fan interaction that setting craves
PIAF - Spinning Top Presents (POND, AAA Aardvark Getdown Services, Felicity Groom and The Silents) - 23/02/14
Well, if you don’t know what/who/why Spinning Top is then I feel you have been failed by yourself. This little (but probably now larger) Fremantle based label has been quietly building a roster enviable by larger lamer labels.
PIAF - Theatre at the Quarry: Radio and Juliet - Quarry Amphitheatre
The trick is- not to enter the quarry with traditional expectations of “ballet” with tutus and lavish set designs. It’s all about the synchronization and symbolism. I really don’t want to give too much away- but after seeing the show, I feel so proud, and confident in Western Australian Ballet.
PIAF - Bianco: Ozone Reserve until March 1
Bianco was a journey and insight into the circus world, its function and the rapports between performers.
Perth Festival: Julia Holter - Chevron Gardens - 10/02/14
Holter is the howling banshee at the centre of the caterwauling madness that forms the end of 'Betsy on the Roof', but she's also the loose calm in the centre of the storm in her dark rendition of Barbra Lewis' 'Hello Stranger'.
West Australian Opera: Otello
This is tragic opera delivered for a new generation of opera lovers. From set to chorus this is a powerful production that will leave you thoroughly impressed.
