Elvis
We are all shook up over Elvis Presley! The King of Rock’n’Roll is certainly having a moment: Baz Luhrmann’s new Elvis biopic is in cinemas (and in our mag); the Graceland exhibition is bringing crowds to Bendigo; and, well, let’s face it, Elvis’ sound, his style and his story will always be on our minds.
Also in this edition:
-
Elvis director Baz Luhrmann and the film’s star Austin Butler reveal how they channelled the King of Rock’n’Roll…in Queensland.
-
Elvis impersonator extraordinaire Jack Gatto dons his blue suede shoes and tells us what it’s like to be The King for a day.
-
In The Big Picture, we join Sophie Matterson on her camel trek across Australia.
-
Sydney band Body Type embrace anarchy (and meat), release a record and hit the road to shred all around the country.
-
Memoirist Akuch Kuol Anyieth shares her refugee story – in the hope that others look beyond it.
-
When FOGO made writer Colin Varney housebound during COVID, he turned to professionals for help.
-
Plus, Sophie Hansen delivers what must be an iconic Australian cake if ever there was one: Milo Cake!
