Violent Green no.2
Setting sail in 2003, geared in just a tiny little rowboat - we're pleased to say that eight years later, it looks like Violent Green have officially conquered Brisbane's high seas. Following up the massive success of their first store, the forever-quirky Violent Green delivers us small town folks some good news: they've opened up a sister store in the Fortitude Valley.

The Outpost
Whether you're a new-born fixie fanatic, or still live by "skate or die" - it doesn't matter what sort of wheels you're repp'n in this town, as long as you've checked out the threads offered in Brisbane's own cultural goldmine, The Outpost.

Nine Lives
Nine Lives is the embodiment of the lives of nine dudes and everything that they love. Opening in the October of 2008, these lads are the kind of guys who see the opportunity in something and don't waste time putting the wheels in motion. After approaching the owner of Mellinos, the upstairs storage space was swiftly transformed into a gallery space.
