Ambar 11th Birthday feat Too Fresh

perth

True to our freshness in form – we’ll be bringing in our birthday with Brother Jesse (Kid Kenobi) and Brother Myles (Hugga Thugg), aka Too Fresh. True to their name, the Desenberg boys just seem to get fresher and fresher (yes we’ll try and take it easy on the ‘fresh’ puns). Seemingly unhindered by the remote nature of their project – with Myles based in London and Jesse in Sydney - 2011 has stood out as one of their biggest years yet. It was triggered by the name swap from Two Fresh to Too Fresh and has snowballed since. Ambar’s Birthday = basically your birthday = PARTY! Make sure you get in early to enjoy our free delicious gift.

Supported by: Devo, Black & Blunt, Dead Easy, Oli. Door Sales: $20. Entry from 10pm. Saturday Feb 10.

She has been published in all the usual journals in Australia as well as a few in Canada, France, Hungary, and the U.S. She has also appeared in zines, both on-line and not.

Want to test drive life in a caravan before you take that trip around Australia? Anything is Valid Dance Theatre, a Perth-based contemporary dance company serves up their unique perspective of a road trip in the confines of a caravan at the 2012 Perth Fringe Festival.

Going solo in the month of february

the moon cafe

Going Solo – at the Moon late night cafe – advances like a colonialist trooper into the evening during February. A key part of the big push strategy in Feb 2012 is the startling and cosy Rabbit Island. Rabbit Island will be performing each night in February alongside notorious musical vigilantes Sean Pollard from the Split Seconds, drone king Craig McElhinney, Tame Impala’s Nick Allbrook, The Chemist’s Ben Witt & dashing DYI trooper Peter Bibby from Perth’s own Frozen Ocean. Cool Perth Nights have run the Going Solo night for ten years now and for the last three years the night has very much happened each Wednesday night at the Moon cafe 323 William Street Perth, from 8 – 11pm. Entry is always free at the Moon.
