DIY 'til I die, DIY 'til I die...


One of the reasons I've been absent of late is because I've taken up a new job at the University of Newcastle as a research assistant into matters of communication and culture (a very fulfilling occupation I may add). Another reason is visible in the above e-flyer (who am I kidding? I'm just clutching at excuses).

SPRING BREAK!! It's the new style!

A friend and I are currently in the process of establishing a new weekly indie night in Newcastle, and our launch date is set down for Thursday the 14th of February.

Basically the idea is to introduce new/interesting bands to a (relatively) captive audience. Artists will benefit from tapping into a regular crowd, the people will benefit from exposure to otherwise obscure acts. Each week there will be a live band plus regular and guest DJs (including my much awaited return to the decks, yo).

Bands confirmed so far:

14th Feb. - Naked on the Vague [SYD]
21st Feb. - Athol
28th Feb. - Batrider [MELB/NZ]

Bands touring through Newcastle? Write us. Wanna DJ? Hit us up. We are true democracy.

[SPRING BREAK!!]
