What’s Cool and Unusual – 23rd July 2008

Hey from all at Dirty Shirlows, here’s an update:

Dirty Shirlows is still operating and is in no danger of being shut down. However, due to complaints from cops about so-called “dance parties” (the rumours aren’t true!) we have been forced to lie low for the next couple of months. 

At this stage we’re in limbo and can’t really tell you much more apart from the fact that we’re on a mission to make sure Shirlows survives so you can expect more Shirlows gigs at a hopefully not to distant point down the track. Also, an art gallery…..

In the meantime the space is open for other business, namley for rehearsals / meetings (a huge amount of space).. The P.A. is still wicked and noise is not an issue. Rates are competitive. Give Shirlows a buzz on 0295**** or B*** on 0402*** or email dirtys**@**mail.com

 Also we wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who has supported the space so far by booking gigs, rehearsals, coming along, helping us out with council dramas and generally being awesome. 

Keep an eye out…. and see you soon….

Akemi
Sabot / The Thaw / Sun of the Seventh Sister
8pm, $5

40 Great Western Highway, Medlow Bath, Blue Mountains. Akemi is a great little space and we can have trampoline comps in the backyard between bands. Bring that shit on – you know you love it.

Sabot are an amazing bass & drums duo from the Czech Republic.

Sabot are coming back to Sydney as part of their ‘around the world in 81 days’ tour.

23rd Oct 2021 – Akemi was a new space in the Blue Mountains, born out of the DIY improv scene and open to any kind of outsider music and art. Steph Thaw and I had taken a drive up to check out the space and this was the first (and only?) show I put on at Akemi though they had a reasonable run before various noise complaints stopped them, exacerbated somewhat by the Suns of the Seventh Sister practicing at max volume through the early mornings.

It was nice to get here before dark and just hang out a bit with the folks living here but I didn’t try out the trampoline.
