There was once a certain rock band who intentionally produced an album that was so left-field that their heavyweight record company, Virgin, had to break their contract and pay them a cool million under the table just to prevent it being released. These talented swindlers released a song called ‘Sunshine & Grease' and this is the name of the print, music and film store opening up within the intimate walls of the Bus Gallery this Thursday (at midday).
It may be on level two, but S&G is all for the underground - that means new and second hand art books, fanzines, comics, novels, records and dvds that come from the more obscure corners of culture. These guys think locally not lucratively, but are in need of some green to get going. So they're throwing a fundraiser festival this weekend at the gallery with nineteen Melbourne music acts, including Always and JK Fuller, and as well an artist raffle full of works by Melburnites like Dylan Martorell and Harriet Morgan. Throughout most of the merriment the store will be open for perusal.
Sunshine & Grease deserves your attention; much more so than strychnine and geese.
