Welcome to to first www.* these are intended to be a brief run down of what's up the coming weekend. Due to the huge amount of time it could take to go through everything, I'll focus on Brisbane City/Valley/West End and run off what I am invited to/suggested for me on facebook. Venues/promoters/bands are free to email me at mr.adrian.grey(at)gmail.com before Wednesday of each week, alternatively facebook me here.
I'll start each post with a quick review of what I did the weekend before if anything was notable, and then post a list of events under the jump. With each event I will post any significant thoughts, and let people know if I intend on going maybe.
With no further adieu: List is after the jump. I'll skip the review this week because I'll be reviewing the new Gentle Ben album when it comes out (I went to the single launch at woodland. It was great, but the crowd wouldn't shut the hell up).
*The dot in www. is not the end of the sentence, it's nerd humor.
Thursday
Real Big Fish VS. The Aquabats @ The Tivoli
I'll be there. Wouldn't miss it for anything, tix are about $50 from Rockinghorse and still available.
Combichrist (w/Bitch Brigade)
I'm sure most of my friends are going to this. Suckers, Aquabats will be better. Still if you like CC you already have tix. Still available! Buy one anyway, my boss is running this.
Ekklesia & The Dead Will Tell (South Africa) @ Rosies
For those students too poor to get into a real gig, according to facebook this is free for students. Not my kind of thing, but I have heard good things about Ekklesia, if I wasn't at either of the above two I'd probably swing by this for a bit, I mean, it's free, what can you loose?
LambdaLambdaLambda @ Alhambra Lounge
Great name, just not a fan of the place. I'll give it another shot one day, but I got pretentioused out last time.
Friday
Go to Basement 243 to check out how they refitted tabu(feat. pool tables and MASSIVE ducted AC unit) and drink the CHEAPEST BASICS EVER. I'm not affiliated with the place so I am pretty sure I can tell you that you'll get change from a fiver. On a Friday. Seriously.
Bertie Page Clinic - "Rock & Roll In A G-String" Album Launch @ The Wickham
Just $10 makes this pretty tempting, I've heard good things.
Saturday
Prometheus Bound @ Transcontinental Hotel (W/Greshka)
This is the Steampunk club where I DJ, Brisbane's one and only, and totally cosplay/jeans and tshirt friendly. Get dressed up or come gawk, either's cool with me. Music is folk/gypsy punk and new swing/cabaret from open, moving to steam inspired darkwave/industrial/gothtechno after the bands. Go to this so I get paid more.
The Art @ X&Y bar
I won't be there for obvious reasons, and they will always be the Follow to me, I still have my hand painted t-shirt. It's free, and free stuff is just neat!
Sunday
Suitcase Rummage! @ King George Square.
I only wish I wasn't busy.
Stage Door Theatre's TOTALLY 80's party AA 4pm-8pm (w/food)
At Stage Door in Bowen hills, hosted by Kristin Fletcher who used to do Globe's Retrospekt nights (I think) which were always loads of fun. I may go.
Post-Stereosonic Recovery @ Alloneword.
I won't be there, but AOW is a lovely venue for those who don't have to work monday.
