Psychedelic meets philharmonia
When New Zealand's most psychedelic band joins forces with the Auckland Philharmonia for a concert in July, it might pay to buckle-up. Little Bushman and the APO will perform songs from the band's two albums, The Onus of Sand and Pendulum, which have been specially arranged by composer John Psathas, the man who did the music for the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics in 2004. The concert has been in the planning for more than a year and Little Bushman leader Warren Maxwell is excited to hear the final result."I'm looking forward to hearing how he [Psathas] intends to explode our songs and feed them out to the different sections of the orchestra," he says.Little Bushman meets the APO is at 8pm on July 13, at the Auckland Town Hall.

South Pacific early winner at Tony Awards
Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific was an early winner at Broadway's top honours, the Tony Awards, with the musical picking up five prizes - for direction, scenery, costume, lighting and sound.
In the Heights, a musical about three days in a largely Dominican northern Manhattan neighbourhood, which led the Tony nominations with 13 nods, nabbed three awards, including best original score for creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda.
"I used to dream about this moment, now I'm in it," Miranda, 28, said in an acceptance speech he rapped to the crowd at New York City's Radio City Hall.
"I wrote a little show about home."
The show Miranda thought up during his second year in college also won awards for choreography and orchestration.
"This is a dream come true," choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler told reporters. "The thing about In the Heights is, we have loved every minute getting to this point."
August: Osage County, the Tracy Letts play that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama this year, won awards for best performance by a featured actress in a play, by Rondi Reed, and best scenic design of a play.
The 39 Steps, based on the Alfred Hitchcock film, also nabbed two prizes - for best lighting and sound design.
The Tony Awards were established in 1947 and are named after Atoinette Perry, whose nickname was Toni. Perry, who died in 1946, was an actress, stage director and philanthropist who was a founder of the American Theatre Wing.
Around 750 people from the theater industry - from actors, to directors to journalists - vote for the Tony Awards.
Comedian and talk show host Whoopi Goldberg hosted the televised awards ceremony.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter films, walked the red carpet ahead of his planned Broadway debut later this year in Equus.
He said he was nervous about reprising the role he first performed in London's West End and during which he appears naked on stage.
Composer Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the music and lyrics for such shows as A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park with George, was given a special Tony Award for lifetime achievement in the theater.
The late Robert Russell Bennett, who orchestrated musicals including South Pacific, Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady, was honored in recognition of his historic contribution to American musical theater in the field of orchestrations.
The Chicago Shakespeare Theater received the Regional Theatre Tony Award.

Kennedy - Senator Kennedy Suffers Seizure
JOHN F. KENNEDY's last surviving brother EDWARD 'TED' KENNEDY was rushed to a U.S. hospital on Saturday (17May08), after suffering what appeared to be a seizure.
The 76-year-old, one of the most famous politicians in the U.S., was airlifted to a hospital in Boston, Massachusetts after falling ill at the family estate in nearby Cape Cod.
Initial reports claimed Kennedy, a Senior Senator for Massachusetts, had suffered a stroke - but Stephanie Cutter, a spokesperson for the Kennedy family, claims those early fears appear to be unfounded.
Cutter says, "Senator Kennedy is resting comfortably and it is unlikely we will know anything more for the next 48 hours."
Edward's two older brothers, both prominent politicians, were each assassinated during their time in office. Former U.S. President John F. Kennedy was shot dead in 1963, aged 46, while 42-year-old brother Robert, a New York senator, was gunned down in 1968.

British Royal Princess Eugenie Naked And Drunk
British royal Princess Eugenie reportedly caused outrage at her private school by cavorting around naked and drunk.
The 18-year-old joined pals after a drinking session in “frolicking like nymphs” around the grounds of her exclusive school Marlborough College in Wiltshire.
A fellow pupil tells The Sun, “It’s the talk of the college. The girls had been drinking, possibly in a local pub, and decided to let their hair down.
"It was a couple of weeks ago just before people started taking their A-levels and some find exams all a bit stressful. For some reason they stripped off and started prancing about.
"It was light-hearted and they were sort of frolicking like nymphs. But they got too noisy and staff discovered them.
"They had to quickly pick up their clothes and hot-foot it inside."
Eugenie and her fellow nymphs were said to have received a “severe telling off and told not to stay at school at weekends” following the episode.
