It's the mantra of all gun slingin' yokels and those who want results. "Shoot first, ask questions later". Kino #19 falls into column b). For one, they wear pants. They also use cameras - not sawed-off shotguns. If you haven't experienced a Kino night, then this is what you've missed: home-cooked food, films, and drinks for a slim $15.

One of the best showcases of freestyle rap and hip hop around, this week is a national affair. D'Opus & Ro Sham Bo (ACT), A-Love (VIC) plus locals Mas-siva and Mailer Peach.

There is a certain art to Vintage shopping. Pawing through racks of moth-scented gowns, skirts and slightly discoloured shoes, one needs a goal (or at the very least a friend who will call nanna nightie over nu-vogue). As part of Rosemount Fashion Week, these Vintage Markets bring together a range of seasoned clothes horses over one weekend.

There are two immediate reasons that you should see The Emergency. 1. Their bass is thumping. 2. They have beards, and everyone knows that beards mask genius. The duo have been cited as a psychedelic 'name to drop', but you'll be too busy waving your arms about to yap. They've opened for other bands such as Trans Am, ARE Weapons and this Saturday WOW and We Stole The Organ will open for them.
