Last weekend

We had such a good time last weekend we thought we should probably share it.

On what turned out to be a beautiful saturday afternoon, we set off to on the road to the Penrith Regional Gallery, with our friends Wil and Tom, to go to the Disorder Disorder exhibition opening. We were feeling pretty excited about the line up of artists and the fact that it wasn't raining for once.

The traffic on Parramatta Road tried its best to break our spirit.

It meant the roadies did not last as long as we hoped, but it was sunny

and we had four iPods.

We saw this little kid sitting in a Lamborghini Diablo, we gave him

a jealous thumbs up. He was pretty happy with himself and rightly so.

Serge's car was no match for this kid's ride. Double fist-pump.

We arrived after a journey that took a bit longer than expected.

The gallery looked great, the weather was still warm, the crowd was excellent.

We listened to some speeches, they confirmed the drive was worth it.

Free sausages and beer, excellent.

Checked out the exhibition

(I know you aren't meant to take photos in galleries but I had to take this one)

Dinner round two.

and then drove back home to Sydney to watch Assassins 88

and TV Colours.

We then did the only thing we could do to cap the day off... dos capas.

It was a good day.

This Weekend

We will be watching Assassins 88 and TV colours this Sunday at The Roxbury because it is the right thing to do.

Saturday Afternoon Plans

Good News - Our friends from our old home are coming to visit our new home

The Fighting League and Assassins 88 are playing at a show put on by RIP Society Records with Bed Wettin' Bad Boys and Bitch Prefect. It is only $5, for $5 you can't even get a whole sandwich anymore and this will be much better than a sandwich.

This Saturday at 4:30 in the afternoon so it won't even clash with your plans for the night.

Dream Damage Fundraiser

A while ago we posted about our friends at Dream Damage Records, they are having a party on the 17th of June to raise some funds. If you are in Canberra go along and donate some money at the door.

Dream Damage

Some people think our home town, Canberra, is boring. Those people have not been looking hard enough. A case in point is Dream Damage, an independent mp3 blog and record label based in Canberra, Australia, releasing music digitally and physically.

"One of the best things that comes out of nothing is music for music’s sake and the necessary return to good, honest song writing that invokes the latent energy of a small and under appreciated town. There’s no leaching off scenes here cause they don’t exist..."

Dream Damage is much more than just a blog or a label, it has quickly evolved into an inclusive community of like-minded musicians and the people that appreciate them. There is a real energy about the collective that would surely come as a surprise to people from out of town.

The artists they represent, including a few we have mentioned on our blog before, are diverse and well worth a listen. However, seeing them play in a crowded bar or a sweaty house party quickly dispels any myths about this city being boring. Like many places, you just need to know where to look.
