Raise The Roof for Pure Pop at Prince Bandroom Friday, 11 May From 6pm

Local hipsters and music afficinados will be familiar with Pure Pop Records in Barkly Street St Kilda and their famous beer garden gigs, which have regularly hosted local musical glitterati such as Conway Savage, Charles Jenkins & Tim Rogers, along with bands from all around Australia including The Gin Club, Halfway, Steve Kilbey and Kate Miller-Heidke amongst others. Their intimate stage has also hosted international artists including Barry Adamson, Academy Award winners The Swell Season, Charlie Parr and Dean & Britta (Luna/Galaxie 500) for over 6 years.

Pure Pop is possibly the only record store, cafe, live music venue in the world - and they have heaps of devoted local patrons to prove it. The beer is cold, the staff is friendly and the music is beyond awesome. However, in the recent past, noise restrictions and an early curfew were imposed and nary a drum kit has graced the stage at Pure Pop in quite sometime….

Hi
What a news day, Anchorman 2 is a go! There were a bunch of classic one liners in the first, so let us hope they don’t ruin the illusion!

Just announced: P.O.W. A huge ANZAC Day Eve (Tues 24 April) party featuring GENERIK and more! We’re being respectful to our ANZAC’s and have instilled a strict close time of 3am, so doors are opening early at 8pm! All tickets and other info can be found here.

Just announced: ONE NIGHT STAND on Friday 18 May. JAM XPRESS ft. SEANY B and POLYFONIK will be there with heaps more so what are you waiting for? Tickets are available now and you can RSVP to the facebook event here.

Tomorrow night (Friday 30 March) is YELAWOLF! We’re so excited, we’ve been youtubing videos of him all day and we especially love this clip of LETS ROLL ft. the amazing Travis Barker on drums! Don’t forget we have BRIGGS supporting! Tickets are flying out the door, so you’ve gotta be quick and grab yours here.

Saturday 31 March we’ll be getting a little glammed up because we’ve got LA LUCHA GLAMOUROSA featuring tough burlesque wrestlers and some live music too - ABBIE CARDWELL AND THE CHICANO ROCKERS and THE MEXICALI MAMMAS! We’re bringing in a wrestling ring, so this shiz is getting real! Pick up your tickets here.

We’ve got a busy week and it doesn’t stop with BLITZEN TRAPPER joining us next Tuesday 3rd April. They got rave reviews from their showcases at SXSW (11 of them!!) and BEAT MAGAZINE caught up with them to chat about their trip. There’s still a couple of signed tour posters up for grabs so be quick and grab your tickets here.

I think that’s enough to keep you all pretty busy over the next week! Also a reminder that YACHT CLUB DJS is selling fast and will sell out shortly. Get your tickets here so you won’t be disappointed by missing out.

MONDAY 6th DECEMBER
SCREEN SECT: HURTSVILLE!
Probably best known for having an extraterrestrial explode spectacularly from his chest in Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien, we think it’s high time to take a look at some of the career highlights of John Hurt, an incredibly versatile character actor, whose CV is a rich and varied feast of intense, iconic and idiosyncratic roles.
