In our eyelash batting fourth episode, Ima tells cabaret hunk Justin J Bear to blame it on the boogie. While Nathan shakes his body down to the ground with performance painter and visual artist Jo Kerlogue and turns the beat around with rock star and redhead Susie Keynes.

Part 1: Susie Keynes

Following 10 years on the international circuit with vocal powerhouse, Fruit, the fiery redhead of that superbly acclaimed group brings Redhead to the stage. Teaming up with UK producer Paul Gomersall (Blur, Kate Bush, George Michael) Redhead has just completed the recording of it’s debut release.  Susie’s stand alone vocal sits atop a soundscape that captures gritty brit-rock, breathy ballads and soaring anthemic choruses.  Strong songs lasooed by a tight and edgy band. 

Great songs, butt-tight instrumentation, soaring vocals and a mission:  Redhead’s debut album, Ordinary Girl, is scheduled for release in North America in July 2008 and Australia September 2008. Susie has sold over 100,000 albums over a career spanning two decades.

Part 3: Jo Kerlogue

Artist and Illustrator Jo Kerlogue mediates images through her alter ego Nonchalant Sally.

“The Nonchalant Sally Experience” is an unhinged collection of montage, illustration and futuristic cult objects. Medleys of absurd two dimensional ingredients cling together with masking tape in a metaphorical, aluminum container, micro- waved on high for thirty seconds.

Investigations into drawing and painting are spliced with photography, squeezed into the juicer that is digital multi-media, ingested by mobile phone technology and regurgitated onto the web. Still images and animated illustration music videos with soundtrack power ballads create an endless pastiche, all under the guise of alter-ego Nonchalant Sally.
