Leonie Pelling (pronounced Lay-oh-nee) is a children's book designer who uses the nom de plume "Lenny Pelling". Originally from the town of Queanbeyan, on the outskirts of Canberra, she moved to Sydney in the early 90's to study Visual Arts at the College of the Arts at the University of Western Sydney. Whilst living in Penrith to be near her artistic campus, Leonie would often be found listening to the music of Lenny Kravitz, and her writing name was thus created.
Since her graduation, she has worked on over 50 publications, including children's educational, trade, and picture books. The X-Zone magazine educational series is considered one of her feature works, comprising over 300 illustrations. The original creation of "The Critter" was a feature of the works. Other original visual characters include Louise Klutz and Milo. She has also worked in production design for a number of short films, incuding some entered in Tropfest.
Leonie considers writers such as Shaun Tan, Roald Dahl and Babette Cole her inspiration, and has received training from illustrators Donna Rawlins and Wayne Harris. She has also produced work featuring the Bananas in Pyjamas and Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter.
Leonie is a proud supporter of the Canberra Raiders, and today resides in Sydney's inner west.

Population II was formed by proto-metal guitarist Randy Holden in 1969, after he left poineering heavy metal - acid rock band 'Blue Cheer' earlier that same year.
He left Blue Cheer after being disappointed with its organisation and how he, as the main songwriter, was being treated. He said in an interview that Blue Cheer never practiced until they were in the recording studio and in general he was unhappy with the sound of his songs in this environment. He also claimed that he was never given enough money even though the band where regularly gigging. Also he said that one member of the band had a heavy drug problem.
He left after recording half an album, which was titled 'New! Improved!'. The three songs which he was featured upon made the B-side of this album; 'Peace of Mind', 'Fruit and Iceburgs' (which he later revisited on the Population II album) and 'Honey Butter Lover'.
After he left Blue Cheer he formed Population II with ex-Kak drummer Chris Lockhead. No bass guitarist was employed, Randy Holden recorded all the vocal, guitar and bass parts on this album.
All of the songs featured on this album were written by Randy Holden, and are as follows:
1. Guitar Song
2. Fruit and Iceburgs
3. Between Time
4. Fruit and Iceburgs (Conclusion)
5. Blue My Mind
6. Keeper of My Flame
The album was briefly released, on the little known Hobbit label in 1969, and then withdrawn by his managers. His managers went to the extent of selling all 20 of his custom Sunn amplifiers and his Gibson SG Special guitar without his consent. They may have used the money to cover recording costs.
Randy Holden was one the loudest rock guitarists of alltime. He used 20 custom made Sunn amplifiers, which each blasted at 200 watts. His poineering guitar work, liberal use of the finger vibrato and feedback, have also, arguably, made him one of the most underrated guitarists of the last century.

Forms Forms Forms are a British indie pop band, based in Nunhead, London. The members are currently students at Goldsmiths, University of London, where they met and formed the band in 2006. Goldsmiths is renowned as having been the starting point for many successful British bands, such as Blur.
Overview
The band consists of Peter Morrow (vocals/guitar), Joe Barton (Bass), and drummer Stephen Slagter, formerly of Brighton-based rock outfit Naakers Bones.
Although not signed to a record label, Forms Forms Forms have received considerable coverage in the music press, with influential London magazine The Stool Pigeon noting them to be "better than The Cribs". They have also been compared to indie band, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong and, perhaps unsurprisingly, fellow Goldsmiths' alumni Blur.
The band have been linked to both the New Cross scene and the Shoreditch indie scene, associated with clubs like Catch. They currently have their own residency at the Bird's Nest, Deptford.
In 2006, a story circulated about a crowd gathering outside one of the band's shows in Shoreditch, London, which was reportedly so large that the band cancelled the gig in the venue and ran electricity cables into the street and performed in the road. The rumour was traced back to the University of Exeter magazine Exeposé, who have since confirmed that the band in fact played a second, acoustic set outside the venue, having completed their planned performance inside.
Peter Morrow's lyrics are noted for exploring the tension between the traditionally macho male psyche and the relative fragility of the post-modern man, who is perceived to be in a 'trapped' state between conventional masculinity and metrosexual insecurity.
