Description:
If people are saying things like 'pure aural electricity' about your show, then you're on the right track. And Toshi Reagan has been on that track since they put ashphalt down. She does retro funk, R&B, rock, folk and blues. Plus she's funny, which is more than can be said for most of the artists in these genres (except for James Brown, but that wasn't deliberate).
Event: Bands
Stimulus: sound the horns!
The Counting/Ocular Proof
Rogue is a bunch of dance renegades who've recently stampeded, possibly Fame! style, beyond the mirrored walls of the VCA. The Counting/Ocular Proof, part of Next Wave's 'Things that Dance' program, is a double bill by young, tough and talented dancers that sets out to explore and exploit the body's senses.
Thread Den
Thread Den is not in any way, shape or form related to all those other smoky dark dingy dens scattered in and around Melbourne's more seedier locales. Instead it is a light-filled space that houses local designs, vintage finds, a Sewing Lounge and many lovely ladies in waiting.
The Sewing Lounge puts on a variety of classes: from beginner all the way up to advanced, perfect for the bright-eyed novices as well as master machinists.
Fandango Café
In this fast-paced, profit hungry world, it's nice to know there's still a place you can go where everyone knows your name. That place is Fandango. Since late November 2006, this now famous North Melbourne eatery, housed in a shopfront on bustling Errol Street, has been central to the social lives of many local residents and their friends (who, rumour has it, travel from as far away as Richmond to sample the wares).
Winners are Grinners
Everybody likes a winner. Unless they backed the other guy, or, if it’s Lleyton Hewitt.
Winners are Grinners takes a look at the dark side of victory and its place in the psyche of a society that suffers from a ‘must win’ mentality and tall-poppy syndrome all at once.
The mixed-medium works by seven Aussie and Kiwi artists tackle the psychology of winning on and off the sporting field, passing the baton to the equivalent top-dogs and heroes in the realms of religion, politics, war and race.
The Queen Victoria Night Markets
Most markets either compel you to search for things that aren’t there, like the cactus that makes peyote, or to come home with stuff you don’t need, like mobile phone covers made from bent cutlery. The Queen Vic Night Markets, on the other hand, are all about things you can’t do without, namely great food and alcohol.
