Young and Restless are Karina Utomo (vox), Nugie Utomo (drums), Ash Pegram (guitar), Mark Falkland (guitar) and Ross Paxman (bass).
Forming in Canberra in early 2005, Young and Restless were thrust into the spotlight late last year when they won Triple J’s Unearthed competition, which saw them perform at Homebake in Sydney . Six months on and Young and Restless have been recording their self-titled debut album. Set for release mid-July, the album is completely self funded and was recorded at Tom Larkin’s (Shihad) studio in Brunswick earlier this year. Despite several tracks having been played on radio (I Pointed At You and You Burst Into Flames, Satan, Dirty Kicks) the album will be the first official release for Young and Restless.
In support of the new single, Young and Restless will be touring their explosive live shows around Australia with support from New Zealand ’s Cut Off Your Hands.

The Adelaide Cabaret Festival and The Famous Spiegeltent join hands to celebrate a centenary of “travelling Kabarett salons”, the Belgian mirror tents, in Variété: A Homage to the Spiegeltent. It will be performed on 8 and 9 June in the Space Theatre.
Built of wood, mirrors, canvas and leaded glass, and detailed in velvet and brocade, Spiegeltents were originally developed in Belgium in the early 20th century, and were used as mobile dance halls, bars and entertainment salons that travelled to small villages and fairgrounds.
Hosted by the irrepressible Mikelangelo from the Black Sea Gentlemen, be prepared for an astonishing evening of New Variety mixed with old-time glamour in a spectacular 21st century tribute to a much-loved and iconic tent.
· Mikelangelo as Host
· David Bates on piano
· Miss Flee on Static Trapeze
· Ben Lewis on The Straps
· The English Gentlemen (Adagio)
· Asher Trevelean on Diabolo and fork tricks
· Christopher Green as artificial hip hop Granny Ida Barr
