No Anchor, Zeahorse, BMXRay & Heil Spirits
Where:
Step Inn, 186 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley
When:
Sat Mar 20, 8pm
How much:
$10
Description:
Hey No Anchor! Did you ever even learn how to stop? You just keen churning out these brutal as all hell recordings, adding more bass, and banging and screaming like kids with pots and pans, only with a ten thousand year old Norwegian darkness. If you stayed like this forever, that'd be fine with me too.
Event: Bands
Stimulus: Nuclear Disaster
What:
Kitten Party, Aquanamis Freedumb, The Huge Nudes, The Harpy Choir
Where:
Browning St Studios, 11 Browning St, West End
When:
Fri Mar 19, 7pm onwards
How much:
$5
Description:
Last week I saw Kitten Party playing for three hours straight. Three. Hours. Straight. He didn't even flinch when one of those heavy downpours came along, trying to thwart his progress. But he's too much of a tuff cat, and nothing can stop the party. The Huge Nudes have Blank Realm affiliations, and The Harpy Choir, a connection with everything.
Event: Bands
Stimulus: Foxes
What:
E.T. and Dark Crystal double feature
Where:
The Globe, 220 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley
When:
Thurs Mar 18, 7pm-11.45pm
How much:
$10 (free for members/triple zed subscribers)
Description:
Two classics, back to back, on one cinema screen. Yeah you could watch either movie at home. Or, you could be enveloped by surround sound gigantor-visuals and be magically transported to the olde world, where goblins and aliens were believed to be (fantastically) real. And the sequel to Dark Crystal is coming out next year, so why not ready yourself at the Globe.
Event: Cinema
Stimulus: cosmic dust
There are improvements to be made in our urban landscape. Although the romanticism of a dilapidated City Hall, squatted barracks and empty brick walls mean that we can realise adventures with ease, it's also great to see something other than badly executed throw ups. What better place to see amazing wall art than an arterial road, right on the foundations of community radio station, 4ZzZfm.
What:
Downsize Exhibition
Where:
Metro Arts, 109 Edward St, Brisbane
When:
Opens Weds Mar 10, continues til Sat Mar 27
How much:
Free
Description:
Miniature art certainly has come along way. Maybe it's got to do with the fact that for awhile everyone thought that bigger was always better. The 14 artists participating in Downsize know about modesty sometimes being the best policy. Cutting nu-wave with the miniature is totally hip.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: Objects
What:
Brisbane Clothing Exchange
Where:
The Fox, Melbourne St, South Brisbane
When:
Sun Mar 18, 7pm
How much:
$25 here, $30 at the door. Comes with free wine
Description:
Allegedly, this country spends nearly $2b on clothes that they never wear. May be unfounded (telemarketing ain't all that reliable). But hey, there's nothing more satisfying than the whole out with the old in with the new, and this is your chance to take a load off, fashion conscious ladies and gents.
Event: Swap Meet
Stimulus: Fashion
Both Booÿ and Haw are notorious for paving roads in design. You may remember Haw from such typesets as the Hawphabet. Or his t-shirt designs at Peeple. But, in this collaboration with Booÿ, Haw goes beyond the 2D and both actually make the most of their Industrial Design degrees (schlock horror.
