Sat Mar 20, 3-5pm
How much:
Free entry!
Description:
Can't tell you too much about this one, aside from the fact Nevada makes incredible magic 'Totem' pants that blow the mind of anyone who witnesses them in person. You'd imagine with magic pants in her arsenal, the rest of her brand new collection will contain plenty of hand-cut gems with the perfect fit and attention to detail that is only possible when the designer herself is in charge of all aspects of production.

When:
Thurs Mar 18, 6-9pm
How much:
Free!
Description:
Gallery relocations and re-imaginings seem to be quite the flavour of the month - and why the hell not? Why should a gallery be defined by a physical setting, so much as a feeling and a gathering of artists? Kick Gallery have crept closer to the CBD, away from the pleasant hills of Northcote to the flavoursome badlands of Collingwood.

Description:
No ordinary indie act, Eagle & the Worm are in fact a 9-piece band with a full brass section. Check it out - they're pretty out there, like a cowbell-sprinkled Ween! Stupid comparisons aside, these guys sound like they're having a psychedelic ball together. After a well-selected slew of shows over the past few months, this is their first ever single launch.

'Skull Gully', by Martin Bell
The funny thing about Marty's work is that initially, it seems like a big mess. Shit is everywhere, it's hard to make out what is what, and, although it is indisputably impressive, you wonder if it is anything more than the unedited spewings of a crazy person with a lifetime subscription to Mad Magazine.
