And it comes complete with new-wave clothes and 80′s dance moves. Good times guaranteed*. * “Good times” is a subjective term and no refund is [...]

There’s something about repetition in a name or phrase that sucks me in. Luckily so, because otherwise I might not have bothered to listen to Boys Boys Boys! (and that would have been regrettable).

Tonight! Cultural Centre! Free! People Power is a program designed to generate good times, generate thought about issues of sustainability, and generate electricity. Generate electricity? People power? No, this isn’t The Matrix, because thankfully there are no robots. It is more about bicycles powering 1000 LED lights, flying high above the Cultural Centre. Along with [...]

Ok so I’m a bit late with this but hey. It has to be said, better now than never. I’m a big fan of these guys, ever since I saw them at the big day out ’07. So when I saw them playing with Little Birdy in Forrest Chase early last year, I bought their [...]
