Friday, May 4, The Long Lost Brothers launch their album sampler at the Bird. The debut album out later in 2012 is called Wednesday night party club. Long Lost Brothers make cassette melting rock music with enough curly edges to live happily in a succulent garden AND enough hooks to fill a tackle shop.

The Long Lost Brothers have made some Rock music. Just when you thought the music world was either too squeaky clean, always psychedelic or (allegedly) only new when sounding electronic The Long Lost Brothers rock up with strange pop, poured through guitars. Limited edition copies of the tunes Population & Snakes & Ladders will be available on the night for $10 a pop on CD. Frozen Ocean are main support on the night & Cam Avery - who’ll play solo whilst briefly back from tour with Pond - is also making a rare appearance. What a night. Entry will be $10 from 8pm.

Tribute Night: New work by Patrick Miller

at ok gallery, northbridge

In his first solo exhibition Patrick Miller presents a body of work exploring the multilayered history of light: as a physical force, a cultural phenomenon and a philosophical proposition.

Tribute Night features a series of pieces that sit at the nexus of art and design and science and sentiment, shelves, tables and wall hangings that examine both literal and figurative illumination and reflection. From the proto-scientific alchemists in search of the philosopher's stone to the proliferation of contemporary designers producing countless boutique lamps, each of Miller's elegant, minimal and meticulously handmade objects is a dedication to those that have lit the way and allowed us to take the light home.

EXHIBITION RUNS: 29th March - 29th April, 2012

MILK - an exhibition of creatures, skin demons and costumed musicians

“Vivid, unyielding realism gracing forms that should
never be” is how US artist Haze XXL describes new
works by artist Mow Skwoz.

The exhibition, which opens on Tuesday 3 April at
Bivouac on William Street, is called MILK - an
opaque white fluid secreted by female mammals for
the nourishment of their young.

Skwoz has shared her ‘creatures’ in collaborative
exhibitions at Outskirts, Out to Get Ya, and Windows
on William, but MILK will be her first solo exhibition.

Talking Head

at limelite theatre, wanneroo

An award-winning series of solo pieces by a famed British playwright, actor and author is coming to Limelight Theatre this April.

Directed by Gwen Browning, Talking Heads was originally written by Alan Bennett for BBC-TV in 1988 and has since found a new lease of life on stage.

Talking Heads has been described as a classic of contemporary drama, universally hailed for its combination of razor-sharp wit and deeply felt humanity.

The Limelight Theatre production features three monologues:
• Bed Among the Lentils, where a vicar's wife discovers some semblance of happiness with an Indian shop owner.
• A Chip in the Sugar, focusing on a man's life that begins to unravel when he discovers his aging mother has rekindled an old flame.
• Her Big Chance, exploring what happens when a young, naive actress gains a part in a German film – which is not quite what she thought.

Talking Heads plays at 8pm, April 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28. Tickets are $19 adults, $16 concession.

Book on 9467 9545 between 9am and midday, Monday to Friday, or online HERE. Limelight Theatre is located on Civic Drive, Wanneroo.
