A variety of quirky lines and short hems in the costume collection were a highlight in terms of their imaginative and even challenging qualities.

Death Grips - The Powers That B (part one: niggas on the moon)
It sees the trio expanding on a less RIGHT IN YOUR FUCKING FACE BOOM LOUD SCREAM ETC. vibe and more, a subtle hello I am here we are pretty loud but have some pretty bits around the place, I can’t make you love viola, and SCREAM TOO.
Lana Del Ray - Ultraviolence LP
If you are looking for a night within the unstable area of the American dream, Ultraviolence will take you there in sound and style, just don’t pay too much attention to what is being said for the most part, it may drag you out.
GALLERY - Groovin' the Moo, Bunbury, 2014
This year's Groovin the Moo included performances from a huge array of acts including local producer/hip-hop extraordinaire Mathas, Byron Bay moshers Parkway Drive, East coast stoners Violent Soho and international electro stars Disclosure and HOLY FUCK!
HyperFest 2014, Midland Oval - Youth Festival NOT A Dirty Word(s)
We were treated to some spectacular local acts a few weeks ago. Amazing work by the HyperFest team, huge attendance and great times.
Record Store Day 2014: Perth Edition
Record Store Day has come again, and with it, a slew of choice pickings from artists as diverse as Nirvana and Slipknot available at various stores about Perth. With plenty of well-established stores around Perth, (and some established chains trying to sell records…JB…) where will be the best places to find the gem, hang, chill and soak in vibes?
The Alliance Francaise French Film Festival
It is impossible to see every single one of the dozens of films on offer, so we’ll take you through some of our picks of this year’s bunch, as well as give you the low-down on the special event screenings.
Film Review: "Short Term 12" is powerfully gripping yet delightfully warm drama
As the end credits for this film started to scroll up the screen, nobody moved. Everyone was glued to their seats in stunned silence. Short Term 12 is an emotional roller-coaster that strikes the perfect balance between its affecting screenplay, assured direction, and unflinchingly honest performances from its talented cast.
Oliver Tank w/Oscar Key Sung & Kucka - The Bakery 28/02/14
Last friday at the Bakery, Oliver Tank, Oscar Key Sung and local powa gals Kucka played an incredible gig. The entire night I was wrapped in a subtle warm texture of sound that made me feel lovely and comfortable.
Film Review: Violette @ PIAF
The film stars Emmanuelle Devos, whose portrayal of Leduc is simply astonishing. The life of Violette Leduc was a tumultuous one, and every moment of pain is felt through the brilliant and emotionally bare portrayal by Devos.
PIAF - The Robert Glasper Experiment and Roy Ayers - 27/02/14
It's not just RnB songs too, as generally popular “white” bands like Nirvana, Radiohead and Daft Punk have also become signifiers for producers of black music, and their tracks were covered spectacularly at the Garden.
PIAF - Haze - Beijing Dance Theatre - Until 1/3/14
Finally! Someone creates a dance performed on a large scale mattress. As chaotic as that may seem, the Beijing Dance Theatre has truly mastered the concept.
Modern Classic Albums Part 7: 40-31
Moving on, now in serious territory breaking through the top end of the list. From Death metal to hip-hop and pop, we've got you covered! Remember to rate each album out of 10 too, let us know what you think.
PIAF - Wire - Chevron Gardens 24/02/14
If Wire had advertised a Pink Flag tribute/memorial tour they'd be selling this joint out and headlining arts festivals like this. Their live shows are maybe the worse for it, lacking the kind of fan interaction that setting craves
Perth Arena feat. Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Pharrel Williams, The Rolling Stones, the Arctic Monkeys and POND
Lots of stuff happening at our new venue, neatly summarized here, for your health.
Fringe World - Digging Deep - The Pleasure Garden, Until Sunday
Staring up-and-coming stage actor Abigail Martin as Lucy, the play is not at all for the faint hearted but highlights an incredibly important and too often taboo issue. The characters face self-doubt, guilt, anger, blame, isolation, powerlessness and the enormous courage needed to confront the past in an incredibly honest and sensitive way.
PIAF - A Midsummer Night's Dream (as you like it) - FINALE TONIGHT
As a member of the alienated audience, the Russian banter was so weird and wonderful it made the odd manipulations of the giant puppets seem almost normal. Conceptually, the performance provided great comedic relief.
St. Jerome's Laneway Festival - Fremantle 8/2/14
This year’s St. Jerome’s laneway Festival on its new turf in Fremantle proved to be wildly successful, spectacular in its vibes, layout and packed out audience including many younger ones who don’t abide by the man and jumped fences to get in. If this is the future of festivals, I’m happy.
PIAF - Theatre at the Quarry: Radio and Juliet - Quarry Amphitheatre
The trick is- not to enter the quarry with traditional expectations of “ballet” with tutus and lavish set designs. It’s all about the synchronization and symbolism. I really don’t want to give too much away- but after seeing the show, I feel so proud, and confident in Western Australian Ballet.
