Description:
Stuff is going just as it should at an awesome art festival. Openings are thicker on the ground than Christmas morning at the Brady's. And, despite having had his car stolen in a bizarre, Collingwood joy-riding-in-a-‘70s-bomb incident and having to enter and exit his house through the second storey bathroom window, due to the front door locking itself permanently, Festival Director Jeff Khan is holding up peachy. But sometimes, you know, you just want to booze it up. So Next Wave has initiated the Mid-Festival Party. A brilliant initiative involving cheap beer and a dance floor powered by DJ sets from Sydney hotties Post and Brown Council, who promise to bring '80s power rock and booty hip hop (where it will be most welcome), and Melbourne's own Suitcase Royale. You just know they're gonna play some Meatloaf, and even if that's not your cup of tea, hell, two outta three ain't bad.
