SCREEN SECT: BARFLY(Barbet Schroeder, 1987)
Charles Bukowski scripted this semi-autobiographical story of a drunken writer (Mickey Rourke in one of his last great roles before his recent renaissance) who finds love (with fellow lush Fay Dunaway), and is given a shot at literary fame. Atmospheric, amusing and surprisingly upbeat.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS:
THE HOLIDAYS (NSW - album launch) with Papa vs Pretty and special guest: JUST ANNOUNCED - ON SALE FRIDAY!
Sydney foursome The Holidays’ debut album ‘Post Paradise’ may have been a long time coming, but it has categorically been worth the wait. The first two singles, ‘Moonlight Hours’ and ‘Golden Sky’, hinted at the exciting musical re-birth this band has taken over the past 18 months, yet do not exclusively define the depths of this blissful musical journey. Now, on the eve of its release, the band are set to hit the road, launching the album across the country with support at the East from friends is Papa Vs Pretty.

CRAYON FIELDS with Darren Sylvester and Hit The Jackpot: JUST ANNOUNCED - ON SALE MONDAY!
Melbourne pop romanticists Crayon Fields are set to head back to the USA for the second time this year. The fine folk of New York City, Austin and LA have had more opportunities to see Crayon Fields this year than their own hometown homies. In a bid to rectify the imbalance, Crayon Fields will be playing a special Melbourne headline show at the East with support from Darren Sylvester and Hit The Jackpot. Expect some new songs amongst well loved favourites from ‘All The Pleasures of the World’ and ‘Animal Bells’.
