HIATUS KAIYOTE
Fresh from blowing up heads at Woodford Folk Festival and a mini-tour Hiatus Kaiyote are back in Melbourne to play a few sneaky shows before going deep into the studio to finalise their debut EP due out in April.Their rare sound is a hybrid breed of neo-soul, future beats, freakish time changes and coupled with a strong live performance that’s seen them compared with the likes of Little Dragon, Bjork, Georgia Anne Muldrow and The Dirty Projectors.They’ll be joined on the 27th Jan by DJ Ty spinning future beat and nu-jazz goodness in-between their two sets.

Bar Open, Fitzroy gig guide

MONDAY 16 JAN
SCREEN SECT: HOUSE OF GAMES
(David Mamet, 1987)
The debut feature from playwright, screenwriter, director and heretical film theorist Mamet is a highly stylised glimpse into the ever-fascinating, hard-boiled world of the con artist. Lindsay Crouse plays a repressed psychologist drawn into the subterranean world of Joe Mantegna’s slippery confidence trickster.
Doors 7.00pm

TUESDAY 17 JAN
MAKE IT UP CLUB RETURNS IN 2012
WEDNESDAY 18 JAN
POP SINGLES
LOWER PLENTY
FULL UGLY
pop singles have been one of melbourne’s recent staple indie acts, the 3 piece have an album recorded and in the works for roughly a march/april release. tuneful to morose guitar-pop often likened to chiming 80’s australia and that record label from new zealand, with a dose of husker du / GGE / wipers / 60’s psychesque inspirations. lower plenty deliver some heart-wrenching outback ballads and beautiful instrumentation, eaturing dick diver/deafwish/uv race members. full ugly are a pop gem you don’t get the chance to see enough,
for fans of the moles / panel of judges / triffids tapes. free entry!!!

Bar Open, Fitzroy gig guide

MONDAY 5 DEC
SCREEN SECT: STRAIGHT TO HELL
(Alex Cox, 1986)
Possibly the most expensive ‘home-movie’ ever made, in which the director of ‘Repo Man’ and ‘Sid & Nancy’ packs off to Spain with an all-rock-star cast (including The Pogues, Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, Dennis Hoper, Jim Jarmusch, Grace Jones and Courtney Love) to create a twisted blend of spaghetti western and heist movie. Fun.
Doors 7.00pm
