no lights no lycra

at the banks reserve pavilion, perth

A dance night based on abandoning self-consciousness and professionalism through no lights and no talking as you bust a move, NLNL has finally hit Perth after incarnations across the Eastern States.

Whilst flirting and showing off are moves that are sacrificed, what emerges is self-confidence invested within the purity of dancing as well as a killer work-out to boot. Not to mention the uplifting sight of a town hall filled with shadowy apparitions shifting shapes to Getting Jiggy With It.

$5 from 7pm.

The Woohoo Revue

at mojos bar, FREMANTLE

THE WOOHOO REVUE are heading back to WA by popular demand after overwhelming acclaim at Fairbridge Festival this year and a sellout show at The Fringe World Spiegeltent last year.

Call them what you will- 'Balkan gypsy brass band, roaring twenties swing ensemble, Wild West fiddle contest or a soundtrack for Looney Tunes'- it barely scratches the surface. Their fiery compositions and virtuosic musicianship invoke a sense of romance and bravado. Every tune expresses a sense of occasion, transporting the listener to a rampaging after-party at a circus sideshow in a palatial ballroom.

Supported by ENSEMBLE FORMIDABLE. "Ensemble Formidable don’t walk onto the stage, they invade it!" - Kulcha, WA. Imagine Django Reinhardt at a 1940’s Parisian speakeasy rave playing manouche-jazz in fast-forward with Beyoncé down on the D-floor grinding the dubstep-charleston. Multiply that mayhem by ten and you have an Ensemble Formidable event!

Tickets are $20 presale through Heatseeker & $30 at the door from 8pm.

not the way home opening night

at buratti fine art, north fremantle

In May 2011, 13 prominent Australian artists ventured to the Barrier Ranges in north western New South Wales, for an epic journey into the vast landscape of Australia’s arid desert. Driving 1,100km west of Sydney, past Broken Hill and on to the University of NSW’s Research Station at Fowlers Gap, each artist responded to the landscape in their unique way.

Artists featuring in Not the Way Home include: Margaret Ackland, Elisabeth Cummings, Merran Esson, Joe Frost, Alan Jones, Jennifer Keeler-Milne, Ross Laurie, Steve Lopes, Euan Macleod, Idris Murphy, Amanda Penrose Hart, Peter Sharp and Guy Warren.

Curator of the exhibition, Owen Craven, Editor, Artist Profile and Art Almanac magazines, documented the journey along with journalist James Compton and ABC Open Producer Sean O’Brien.

Opening: 6.30pm.
Exhibition runs until 24 October

Shihad

AT MOJOS BAR, FREMANTLE

(EVE)  In November 2011 SHIHAD released in New Zealand a career retrospective double disc – The Meanest Hits. With a catalogue of singles and hits that easily fill a double CD it’s no surprise then that as Shihad announce a tour to celebrate The Meanest, they include the notation that they’ll plunder said catalogue as they lay out a 90+ minute set to give enough time to cover the bulk of hits and favourites. Reflecting the band in transition, a second stanza embraces the big stage era where Shihad grew wings and a swagger and ramped up production. Shihad - The Meanest. A not to be missed, one time only opportunity to see and hear Shihad carve their own way through one of the great Rock n Roll catalogues.

Supported by EMPERORS.

Pulling from influences which stretch back over the past half century, Matt has a truly individual sound with a positive message. He has a joyful and exuberant style which floats his audiences from soul to the packed dance floor. Spine-tingling vocals soar above Matt's catchy melodies and driving rhythms. Show starts at 7:30 pm.

A heart-warming tale of murder, car chases, alcoholism, bad parenting and yaks – prepare yourself for the sad, funny and tragic ride to Tinkertown.

Your recipes wanted

for the beaufort st recipe book

The Beaufort Street Festival is on again this year and the countdown has begun!

We have many new exciting ideas and programs happening this year, including a far greater focus on food! Given that Beaufort St has such a diverse range of dining opportunities we felt it was only fitting to celebrate that.

As a part of the food program, we will be producing a community recipe book, "Recipes and Ramblings; A Food Journey from Beaufort St and Beyond" which will feature recipes from those on the street and its surrounds. Chefs, shop owners and residents will combine forces to fill the book with their favourite recipes.

the warrior and the princess

at the blue room theatre, northbridge

“Even a hunter cannot kill a bird which flies to him for refuge.”

Europe 1939, World War II begins. Jewish refugees flee when Poland falls to Germany. As the war progresses and the Allied forces strike back, the Soviet Union and Germany threaten to invade the refugees’ fragile safe haven in Lithuania. With borders closing, the refugees are desperate; their future looks dire whichever force may invade.

But in times of injustice, help sometimes comes from unexpected sources…
