Syke Warehouse Sale

BLOG POSTED BY NICKJ ON 16 MAY 2012 @ 04:53 PM
Melbourne-based art focused clothing label, Syke, are having a mid-year clearance sale starting on the 31st of May and wrapping up on Sunday the 2nd of June. They'll be getting rid of excess current and last season stock at anywhere between 50-80% off.

Helmed by illustrator Tri Vo since it's inception in 1998, Syke's belief is all about clothing as a medium for art. Taking advantage of the fact that a t-shirt is the perfect fashion-based canvas, Vo says "t-shirts...the most basic staple in the wardrobe can be transformed into an avenue for your individual expression."

As always with these deals, get in fast otherwise you'll wind up with garb that only fits dwarfs or giants.

AFL: Eagles VS Saints

West Coast welcome a visiting St Kilda side in round 8 of AFL season 2012. The Eagles again appear headed for another productive season after last year making the preliminary finals. St Kilda though, will be keen to impress new coach Scott Watters and regain the form, which saw the side contend for the 2009 and 2010 grand finals. Footy fans can see the likes of Nic Naitanui and Nick Riewoldt compete for their respective sides. First bounce is at 2:40PM (local).

Super Rugby: Force VS Rebels

PICF: Festival Finale

Round off a manic 19 days of laughs in the only way any comedy faithful should, with the Festival Finale! We’re sure everyone will be slightly silly by this stage, so secure your tickets for an unruly and out of control line-up including Fiona O’Loughlin, Joel Creasey and Greg Fleet, with many more still to be announced! Don’t miss out on the fun and your final chance to enjoy the Perth International Comedy Festival until it comes hurtling back in 2013.

Mutemath at Amplifier Bar

Since releasing their first EP in late 2004, Mutemath's inherent nature has challenged limitations and expanded parameters. By the time they released their 2006 self-titled debut, their blending of adverse genres into its own innovative sonically adventurous creation earned them a reputation as one of modern musics most daring young groups. On their latest album Odd Soul, which was featured as Triple J Album Of The Week, Mutemath locked themselves down at Meanys home studio in New Orleans and didnt emerge until they were ready to play it for others. The idea of complete isolation was the only thing that appealed to us. No one would hear or comment on what we were doing until we were done, Meany says. "We set out to record something that was unapologetically us. Rooted in New Orleans rhythm and blues, fusing elements from psychedelia to traditional gospel to modern electronica, Odd Soul is constructed to live up to its title. "I think the title describes this record in every context." Meany summarizes, "It's who we are, where we've been, and what we incidentally sound like when set to music."

PICF: Glenn Wool - No Lands' Man at Jack High Comedy Club

Glenn Wool, the cosmopolitan vagabond, comes to Perth for the very first time. Wool has been a huge success at comedy festivals and clubs around the world, received glowing five star reviews on every continent he’s played.

The Manhattan Jinx at The Railway Hotel

Adelaide's very own Manhattan Jinx will tour the country this May/June to promote their new album Death. Savour. Life. Reviews of the debut from national street press, radio and various online media all travel the same path in acknowledging the strong collective of well constructed bluesy punk rock. Honest, in your face, raw. Death. Savour. Life was written and recorded by singer/songwriter Matt Gelsi and now with the full band in tow, Manhattan Jinx hit the road for a national album launch tour.

Dream on Dreamer at The ​Amplifier Bar

Sometimes things just seem like they were meant to be. Whether it's chance, talent, timing or a combination of all of the above, the stars align and opportunities others fight long and hard for just fall out of the sky. Prime example number one: Melbourne Post-Hardcore six piece Dream On Dreamer. So 18 months on and on the eve of the worldwide release of the band's debut album. Heartbound is an exceptional debut from a band who has caught the attention of every ear they've graced. It's set to to make them the next international success story to come out of Australia, just as Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction have done in recent years.

Element at Geisha Bar

Unfortunately, Saturday comes but once a week; so to make it worth waiting for Geisha resident DJs give you the coolest house east of London and the funkiest sounds west of Chicago in the only place to hear underground 4/4 beats for grown-ups tired of the commercial splatt.

Bluejuice at The Metropolis Concert Club Fremantle

f the critics buzzed when the album Company was released in 2011, it was the band's audience that took the reins when Bluejuice absolutely smashed their spot on the national Big Day Out tour. The Boiler Room was at total capacity as punters voted for the new material with their feet and the band consistently pulled the biggest crowd of the day to that stage. It feels like the Bluejuice moment is arriving in 2012! So check out the band whilst they are in their career best form at this one only exclusive show to further celebrate the launch of Company. Joining the guys will be Metropolis' Death Disco DJs.

Digitalism at Villa Nightclub

Digitalism is pioneering the electro-punk and indie dance movements, making appearances at festivals such as Parklife, Coachella and various clubs worldwide. The German electro duo hails from Hamburg and is made up of Jens "Jence" Moelle and İsmail "Isi" Tüfekçi. Jens likens Digitalism's songs to simple chapters in a complex novel about social interaction and attraction, with distorted baselines and thumping rhythms comprising the punctuation.

Kaiser Chiefs at Metro City

Hot off the back of their Splendour in the Grass appearance last year, Kaiser Chiefs have released their brand new single, 'On The Run' which bears that trademark Kaiser Chiefs sound and has a chorus filled with enough hooks to have you singing along for days. The stand-alone single comes fresh from the band who have not slowed down since the 2011 release of The Future Is Medieval (out now through Liberator) which was revolutionary in allowing fans to create their own album playlist online before purchasing. In further exciting news the band have recently been confirmed for the highly sought after Coachella Festival in the USA. 2012 certainly promises to be another busy year for the mighty Kaiser Chiefs. Joining the band in Australia will be Sydneys alternative rock sensations Deep Sea Arcade who have been causing a stir with their dreamy and enigmatic live shows to adoring audiences around the country. Their highly anticipated debut album Outlands featuring summertime standout single 'Girls' will be released through Ivy League Records on March 16.

The Maccabees at Capitol

Having dropped the single 'Pelican' late in 2011, a mighty tune to rival 'Love You Better', high on the agenda for The Maccabees in 2012 is the release of third album Given to the Wild. The album was released on the 27th Jan receiving JJJ Feature Album and #5 in the UK charts. The lads are also making no secret of wanting to pick up where Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian left off. With NME touting the outfit to be the best young guitar band in Britain at the absolute peak of their powers...scooping us up with arresting stabs of guitar and a post-punk muscularity. The Maccabees third album Given To The Wild is the culmination of two years of writing and recording. Having followed Wall of Arms 2009s critically-lauded second release with main stage slots at Reading and Leeds Festivals, and two sell-out shows at Brixton Academy, the London five piece (singer Orlando Weeks, bassist Rupert Jarvis, guitarists Felix and Hugo White and drummer Sam Doyle) are showing that Given To The Wild is a sprawling masterpiece of distorted pop, psychedelia and soulful guitar wig outs. It is the bands most adventurous work to date.

Florence & the Machine

Event Information Fanning the flames of a fire started just under two years ago, Florence + The Machine are set to ignite stages across the country when they return to Australia in May 2012 for a national arena tour. Following on from the multi-million selling, multi-award winning, global smash of a debut album 'Lungs', Florence + The Machine first landed on Australian shores in January 2010 on the Laneway Festival bill; playing to stunned audiences over the course of the festival as well as her own headline club shows. Barely six months later, her ascension to stardom took a further leap when she returned to wow audiences on the main stage at Splendour In The Grass and sell out multiple theatre shows from Perth to Brisbane. So overwhelming was the demand that shows sold out in record timing and her stay in Australia was extended to allow additional shows not previously planned.
