Rush is an exciting Australian action-drama series starring Rodger Corser (Rent), Jolene Anderson (All Saints), Samuel Johnson (Secret Life of Us) and Catherine McClements (Water Rats) following the lives of members of the prestigious Tactical Response team. They're a young squad, hand-picked as the cream of the crop, each with their own specialty areas and all in peak physical and mental condition. It takes a certain type of temperament to go from diffusing a bomb, to talking down a potential jumper above a high-rise, to pursuing an armed offender through peak hour traffic within the span of a shift. To some, that would be more than enough to turn them mad. For the officers of Tactical Response, it's what keeps them sane.

The story of seafaring is a story of adventure, courage and ingenuity that ranges far beyond the need to transport goods across the oceans. The moment people were able to move long distances at sea, they became less isolated. Along with their cargoes came other people and new ideas. The resulting interaction would shape the face of the world. Unfortunately maritime history tends to focus on western achievements, as if there were no seafarers of consequence elsewhere. Nothing could be further from the truth, with the achievements of Polynesian, Arab, Indian and Chinese navigators well documented and no less impressive than those of their western counterparts.

We bring you this special performance from popular live music venue The Basement. Sydney, Australia's Youth Group originally formed around vocalist/guitarist Toby Martin and drummer Danny Allen. While the two had hooked on with various other players here and there, by the band's second full-length they'd gelled with guitarist Cameron Emerson-Elliott and bassist Patrick Matthews. Released in Australia (Ivy League) in 2004 and America (via Epitaph) in spring 2005, Skeleton Jar capitalized on the expressive vocals and nimble instrumentation that brought Youth Group comparisons to the Sarah Records roster heyday, Death Cab for Cutie, and Badly Drawn Boy. Jar was also the culmination of what the 2001 Ivy League full-length Urban & Eastern had started, as well as the handful of singles the band had issued dating back to their late-'90s formation. Already a sensation at home, Youth Group made plans for U.K. and U.S. touring in 2005, including dates with Death Cab for Cutie. A friendship with that band led to Youth Group coming to the attention of the music director of the popular teen drama The O.C., and the guys soon recorded a cover of Alphaville's "Forever Young" for use in the show. The song became a number one hit in Australia, earning the guys a 2006 ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year - Single. Their third album, Casino Twilight Dogs, appeared in July 2006, again issued through Ivy League. Johnny Loftus, Rovi.
