‘Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!’
This statement is not only true for a retrospective Mob Boss, but also for most weekend warriors on their first day back facing the fluorescently lit reality of a nine to five working week. The fact is there is no rest for the wicked and regardless of what your Mum thinks, we are all indeed extremely wicked.
Let’s face it, threesomes are fun, if not a little awkward afterwards. No doubt PANG! and Lollygag were getting drunk in a bar together and after a few too many mojitos Hugh slurred “okay, okay, we are definitely hooking up with the next guy that walks in the door” and as fate would have it only moments later Cheese appeared with a Cheshire grin. Nine months later the Sunday’s Best Music Festival was born. Injecting a much needed shot in the arm for the Canberra Day long weekend, the two stage event features an abundance of live acts, DJs and performers including Vincenzo (Poker Flat, Italy),Anoraak (live, France), Deekline (Against The Grain, UK), Bag Raiders (Shooting Stars, NSW), tyDi (Australia’s No.1 DJ, QLD), Housemeister (Boys Noize Records, Germany), Muscles (DJ set, VIC), The Aston Shuffle ( Do You Want More) and MaRLo (Armada Music, VIC). The organisers also assure me that there is still a massive international headliner yet to be announced so if that’s not enough to get you to part with a portion of your slave wages, what is?
From a threesome to a full on Gang Bang, oops I mean Bang Gang! 12 inches of it in fact. You get the idea. Transit Bar hosts Heartbeat on Saturday March 13 with enigmatic scenester Jimmy2Sox taking the helm. Some may know him from his funked up remixes for artists like Empire of the Sun, Pnau and Jackson Jackson, others may simply regard him as ‘that guy I woke up next to with the perfect hair.’
Pro Tip: saying “BANGGANG BANGGANG” over and over again in a Mr Bean voice makes you sound like Chewbacca.
For those of you who think ‘trip hop’ is how you tackle a gutter whilst drunk, the following statement need not apply.
Remember that time Massive Attack played in Canberra? Prevent yourself from being one of those people that say “when was that?!” by buying a ticket to their live show on Friday March 19 at The Royal Theatre. Do. Not. Miss!
I don’t know about you, but I like my techno like I like my women: dark, loopy and satisfying. Melbourne club brand The Likes of You packs up its lens-less frames and black cardigan for an eastern road trip, ending up at Lot 33 on Sunday April 4 where they have secured the services of in demand German techno producer Oliver Huntemann.
Finally, for any other technology nuts out there, make sure to check out the newly released Pioneer CDJ2000 CD turntables. What CGI blockbuster Avatar has done for family cinema, these will surely do for club DJing.
