lyndon blue: live reviews

ELVIS IN MY PELVIS @ MOJOS BAR, SATURDAY SEPT 1

Once upon a time, Elvis Aaron Presley ruled the world. Before The Beatles, it was Elvis, and before Elvis… that sort of pop pandemonium just didn’t exist. Television arrived just in time to broadcast this guy’s hips to the world: magical beacons of gyrating, erotic luminosity in glorious black and white. His voice was a treacle cascade influenced by gospel, blues, R&B (and far less hammy than decades of impersonators have led us to recall). And, unusually, here was a singer, front and centre, who was thrashing a guitar - iconifying the whole reckless rock ‘n’ roll THING. 2012 is a funny time, when those kinds of revolutions feel too recent to be ancient history, too distant to be palpably with us.

tahlia palmer: steady eye

smokin'

I started smoking just before I turned 17. I’d graduated from high school, and in the weeks afterwards there would be gatherings and parties held by my schoolmates, a big old month long celebration of our emergence from the Australian schooling system as children who generally know how to complete exams. I would attend these parties often, not because I liked the people who threw and attended them, but because my friends and I liked to dislike the people who threw and attended them. One night, there were four or five of us misanthropes sitting at a table in some backyard in Perth’s eastern suburbs, away from the raucous attempts to get wasted and flirt and maybe cop a feel that was going on in the rest of the party, and I was drunk and bored. I wondered what the hell I was doing there, was

It's nice to be liked: Boy Gets Girl at the Heath Ledger Theatre

I don’t think I’ve ever been on a blind date.  Actually I’m pretty certain I’ve never been on one.  To be fair I haven’t been on many ‘dates’ in that sense anyway.  I hope I wasn’t on a blind date and didn’t know it was one, that’s unfortunate to the person who thinks it was a date.  I know that because I’ve been that person.   To be fair I haven’t been on many ‘dates’ in that sense anyway.

steffi

at the honey lounge, leederville

STEFFI is a DJ, label owner and party promoter in one. On first sight, this is nothing out of the ordinary these days, but when all of this is done as passionately and with high quality standards as in Steffi’s case, you better have a closer look. Until she moved to Berlin in autumn 2007, Steffi has been a motor of an Amsterdam scene defining itself in opposition to the commercial dance business in the Netherlands.

You can trust Steffi as a DJ implicitly, in form and content. Her skills are extraordinary, as you can see when she really works the records and eq’s; no soft blending, but mixing in its original sense. She features a plethora of styles and varies every single one of her sets ranging from Electronic Disco, to serious Detroit- or Dutch Electro, whereas original, funky and fat House always will be her solid foundation.

"They think nothing will happen because they have shut the door..."

How do we find refuge when home is lost? Three young people come together to face an unexpected event and all its repercussions.

Working from Maurice Maeterlinck's one-act play of the same name, The Broken Image Ensemble has devised a new work of exquisite beauty and hope.

The Broken Image Ensemble is a group of committed young emerging writer/performers who draw on eclectic influences and work with forward-thinking artists. They create theatre that embodies youthful spirit and bravery.

Performed & devised by Holly Garvey, Caris Eves & Josh Magee
Directed by Sarah McKellar
Written by Michael Collins
Sound design by Will Slade
Lighting design by Chris Donnelly

at galerie dusseldorf, mosman park

This new small exhibition of paintings is based on direct observations of things – choices triggered sometimes by chance combinations, others use colour and light as the starting point.
