FourThousand is a weekly snapshot of Brisbane's subculture - a Brisbane guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Brisbane guide.
The Oyster Murders
In the vein of Radiohead, but with a much more ambio-pysch feel, Brisbane lads The Oyster Murders produce tunes which drift leisurely over your consciousness, open up your mind with mesmeric vocals and then gently pierce your perception with flounces of soaring guitar, buoyant synth and rhythmic drums and bass lines.
The Versus Show
So you walk through the front door of the Alibi Room and you notice is that it's been transformed into Brisbane's most rocking art gallery. You could describe the sight before your eyes as a kind of ‘cyber playground', or you could call it a pleasant seizure-inducing body of work incorporating fluro visual remixes, squiggles, genius scribbles and electric vectors.
Mister Lonely
Harmony Korine: he did the screenplay for Kids, he used to do Chole Sevigny (until he started doing too many drugs), he's done Letterman, and even Marc Jacobs wants his picture. But mostly because he directed these Cannes applauded films: Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy and Mister Lonely.
S-LaB
Ah, the changing face of The Valley... the TCB Building might be little ahead of its time for Brisvegas (God, we all hate that nick-name but still try as we might to stop using it). Vegas or no Vegas, TCB has given the Mall a much needed face lift and one of the retailers responsible for the invigorating peel is S-LaB: purveyors of sneakers and sneaker related accessories - you know t-shirts, cool books and zines and shiz.
