Forepaw

Lucky you! We've got the first 24 hours of your weekend all figured out:

Friday July 27

So, this Friday from 6pm til 8 you'll be going to the opening of Nathan Gray's new show 'The Fold' at Joint Hassles, which is just across the road n round the corner from us on Mitchell St (behind the TAB). If you're aware of Nathan's work then no doubt it's already pencilled in your diary/written on the back of your hand. If the name doesn't ring a bell, go have a look at undo design and/or joint hassles. Convinced yet? We thought so.

Anyway, following the opening, at 8pm we have these folks playing at our place:

Moffarfarrah (CD launch)
Justin K Fuller
Maximum Awesome
Paeces two Paece

It's four bucks to get in and All Ages/BYO. Be prepared for an evening of glorious confusion and blissful drone, among other things. It'll be great.

Saturday July 28

Saturday, at around breakfast time (1pm), you're gonna come back to Forepaw for a great show, featuring this buncha local heart-throbs:

E-Wah Lady
or, perhaps, A. Wallace, "depending on who turns up" (maybe both if we're lucky)
Fulton Girls Club
Patinka Cha Cha
Great Earthquake
junior.b

It's only 2 bucks for the privilege and AA etc. Make note of that start-time kids: ONE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON. When the music's over we might put some films on or something, but we'll see how it goes. After that, you're left to your own devices.

Hi All,

This is what we've got:

FRIDAY

Charles Du Cane (Tas)
JNR Anti Sex League (Melbourne)
Viva Computer and their Social Union (Tas)

8ish. Cheap. All Ages.

Charles does "odd electronic folk" and comes highly recommended from a bloke that we trust. Viva Computer do some keyboard-/vocal-heavy indie pop stuff (we like the real sweet tune called "Army in a Sugarcube" you can download off their MySpazz) and JASL? I know nothing. Take a risk why don't you?

and then SATURDAY

Summer Winds Presents

ON/OXX (LP Launch)
Bakelite (Canada)
Vincent Over the Sink (Sydney)
Maximum Awesome
Downtown
Brain Dead

7.30pm. Cheap.

What a line-up! Best gig in town this Saturday, no contest. This'll be the first in a monthly series of shows at Forepaw presented by Summer Winds, your trusted local promoter of all things herky-jerky and atonal.

Both shows are of course All Ages.
