Rittenhouse Sample Sale

Misty Bar, 3-5 Hosier Ln, Melbourne
When:
Sat Dec 12, 10am-5pm
How much:
Cash only!
Description:
As Chandler would say, could there BE any more basics at this sale? Technically, yes. But it's about quality, not quantity. And so for one day only, Rittenhouse is turning out a limited number of samples from its high end casual label. Prices are a hefty cut below the norm, so this is your chance to own a pair of simple, neatly-cut pants or a slouchy singlet or two, without eating only beans for the next few weeks.

Comeback Kid
Walking down a laneway and into a strange, low-ceilinged stairwell is normal for us citymaholics. But to stumble upwards and arrive at a beautifully presented fashion boutique rather than some dilapidated drinking hole can still flip even our Melburnian minds.
At the end of Rankins Lane (around that corner from Brother Baba Budan, fiends), Comeback Kid is a surprise.
Lenko Flinders Lane
While the shop has been open for four years, the Melbourne Central Lenko boutique has always seemed a little out of place. Its location in a giant shopping centre never quite fit the attitude of the treasures inside and climbing the escalators to buy a new sweatshirt never felt more like a trip to year 9 than during school holidays.

Description:
Have you got a buddy who studies design at uni? Well, when you see them next, ask them what they're working on at the moment. Guaranteed they'll go, "Actually, I'm writing an essay on whether design exists or not." Now, I'm not a shock jock, but C'MON. When will they stop going on about how design isn't design and - you know - design something? This, my friends, is why Comic Sans maintains its strangle hold upon our lives.

The Scare play Too Many Creeps
What:
The Scare play Too Many Creeps
Where:
CBD Nightclub, 12 McKillop St, Melbourne
When:
TONIGHT! Thurs May 14, doors 9pm
How much:
$8 or cheap list if you say 'No Money'
Description:
The Scare make rock music that has three distinct qualities. They use overdrive pedals that make the guitarist sound like he is playing under high-voltage power lines, while the bassist draws lines that are unabashedly groove filled which means he probably gets the most ass, and on top of it all are the vocals which sound as cocky as the frontman of McLusky did.
