Perhaps because of getting sick of playing the exact same songs every week for the past couple of years, The Marquee Club have launched Late Shift Saturdays, playing non-stop electro music from 1am til 6am.
Though tix for the glorious Homebake Music, Film, Comedy and Arts Festival has been on sale since August, believe it or not there’s still tickets left! Crazy, right?! It’s even more weird it hasn’t completely sold out considering this year Homebake has a “global edition” lineup rather than purely an Australasian lineup of skippy and kiwi musos.
Melbourne punks will be stoked to hear about this year’s SRH Fest, an inner city block party to kick off summer headlined by legendary punk rockers Suicidal Tendencies, along with Unwritten Law and Finnish pranksters The Dudesons, and many local bands and DJs yet to be announced. If you know anything about punks, they’re a wild bunch who
The seventh annual Golden Plains festival out in the bush (i.e. just outside the town of Meridith) will soon be happening again, and have just announced their 2013 lineup.

For the past month or two, the world has experienced ‘Gangnam Style’, an immensely popular song with a horse whipping-like dance from Korean rapper PSY, and his career’s just skyrocketed since.

Halloween Party is sure to still kick major ghost arse!
New Year’s Day is an awesome day for everyone: it’s the very start of a new year and everyone gets to start a new year’s resolution they hope to go through with. Sydneysiders in particular get to have a freckin’ grouse day at the Field Day, a one day music festival just for the city on the harbour. There’s a lot of music festivals happening in the summer, but Field Day gets the whole year pumping straight away!
When trying to pick up chicks at clubs, often guys will get one of their mates to play the role of wingman, where said friend has to talk to the girl that’s caught his mate’s eye and get her to like the friend. Having a wingman must work to some degree, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a common practice amongst horny men.
The end of November means the end of spring and the start of summer, and Victorians get to complete this transition in musical style. That’s right, the Queenscliff Music Festival is on again for its 16th year, and it just simply looks grouse! With multiple stages and being surrounded by nature for days, you just can’t go wrong.
