Built in Wardrobes
Michelle Hanlin may fool you with her kinder sherbet colour palette but it's important you realise she is performing a particularly good assault of the contemporary monument.
If you were to term it in music, her works (sculptural and painted still lifes, busts and figures on ornamental plinths) are much like Sonic Youth appropriating Debussy with a spoken word introduction from the local St Vinnies clerk.
Almond Bar
From time to time, you stumble upon a restaurant so mind-bendingly good you feel compelled to tell your friends, treat your folks and start a Facebook group extolling the virtues of this sanctum of culinary gold. Almond Bar is exactly this type of establishment with one exception; I don't want to tell anyone.
One of a Kind
I assumed men like convenient, calm shopping. I asked one. He agreed. So if you generated a fit out with newsagent-style practicality and a 20th Century modern lounge room sensibility you're set, right?
Curtained by vines and suitably hidden on Darlinghurt's Darley Street, One of a Kind is just this.
Shady Pines Saloon
An oft-had discussion in my house goes like this:
"Seriously, there are no bars here like American bars."
"I know, where it's all dark, and you sit at the bar and just shoot the shit."
"Exactly - let's just open one."
"Well why not?" Etc.
That conversation has now been shot.
My Disco 12" Single Launch
What:
My Disco 12" Single Launch
Where:
OAF, 38-46 Oxford St, Darlinghurst
When:
Fri Feb 12, 8pm
How much:
$18 + BF here
Description:
Melbourne's My Disco have a new single, Young. It's epic in length (10.50!) and feels the effects of a German minimalist influence, which is quite the opposite to most of our own misspent youths, which were short and under the influence of Australian maximalism. Come celebrate either way, with its launch, and further cosmic jams from Qua and New War.
Event: Single Launch
Stimulus: cosmic dust
Eau De Vie
Eau De Vie has had some top billing this week, most of which has highlighted its speakeasy style. While in Chicago, as most tourists do, I drank at the Green Mill, putatively Al Capone's favourite speakeasy during Prohibition. Here, you paid the doorman, made sure you shut up during the band, and didn't stray far from whiskey, gin or Guinness - legacy traditions from a bygone era.
