Trash Humpers

Article published 5th Sep 10
Format: Festival
Genre: Art House

Trash Humpers is about a group of trash humpers. Depending on your inclination, Korine's new flick is either about much, much more - or nothing at all.

A group of 'senior citizens' (Korine and Co. in laughably bad old people masks) hump trash (and trees/plants), get drunk, destroy stuff, and mouth off to each other with interchangeable brawl-baiting and aggressive porno talk ("bitch" and "motherfucker" abound).

Tuthilltown Spirits

Article published 1st Sep 10
Location: Inner West
Price: $10 - $100
Product Type: Other

I don't often have house guests. They eat my food, stink up the place, complain about the music, and forget to use coasters. P'shaw! Plus, I have to put pants on when they're over. So screw you house guests!

It's a shame though. The Tuthilltown Spirits in my cupboard would surely impress company.

How much:
Free

Description:
I wasn't that into Ghostwood when they first came out. Then they released the 'Rest My Soul' video, which blew my mind with echoes of Ride and space rock heaviness. They alone are worth the trip into the man-cleavage and bimbette minefield that is Bondi. But add in the dizzyingly awesome rock of New Zealand's Surf City - and the fact that it's FREE? Whoa.

Description:
As creepy and foreboding as they are, I've always wanted to peek inside the former brick-making kilns at Sydney Park. Kaldor Public Art Projects have made my spelunking fetishist fantasies come true, allowing sound artist Stephen Vitiello to create sound installations in three of the buildings.

Xiu Xiu interview

Article published 31st Aug 10
Genre: Alternative
Release: Tour

Jamie Stewart's band Xiu Xiu are intense. Actively experimental yet equally rock, they juxtapose noise and industrial sounds with hooks and riffs making music that's disorienting, heavy, intoxicating, and beautiful. With lyric matter pulled from real life events - in the band member's lives, or people close to them - their songs alternate between creepy, sad, cryptic, poignant, and funny.

Occasionally, counterculture artifacts from the hippy era emerge which blow minds with glimpses of real radicalness that would never get produced today. WR stands for Wilhelm Reich, a pioneer in research linking politics and sex. This free-wheeling 1971 Yugoslavian documentary-slash-fictional narrative combines 60s sexual lib, drag queens, political rhetoric and talking severed heads.
