Emily Hunt & Raquel Welch
Hoochie Coochie

The fabled myths of death, the grotesque and the bizarre come to life in an excessively ornamented carnivale in Raquel Welch and Emily Hunt’s ‘Hoochie Choochie.’ Imaginary beasts and exaggerated caricatures are displayed in an
set-up which can best described as a behavioural study of the fantastic. Each scene features craftily constructed figures that are embellished with a nod to the crude elements of voodoo. But with a natural disposition towards the absurd,
Hunt & Welch’s make-believe underworld is nothing short of eccentric.

akemi, great western highway, medlow bath

Coming up at Akemi on this Sunday, 3rd August is a night of quality acoustic folk, featuring two acts: Lime and Steel, and Five Leaves Left.

Lime and Steel play original songs, with harmonies sung with distinctly Australian flavour.   They also throw in generous helping of Irish influence, and a touch of bluegrass influenced banjo and some sweet mandolin picking. (myspace.com/bensong)

Five Leaves Left features singer-songwriter and fingerpicking guitarist Nick Szenkuti. They do some fine folk/blues originals and covers, with a line-up that usually includes Mary Jones on flute, Simon Watts, on fiddle, with Ian
Morrison brushing up percussive goodness. (http://www.myspace.com/szentkuti)

We plan on having a session of Irish Tunes after the gig, so bring your instruments, all you diddly-people.

It’ll be an easy-going toasty loungeroomy gig.  BYO, and Akemi folks sometimes put on a pot of stew or the like, for which you are allowed make a small donation if you feel like clocking up some good karma.

Cover on the door is $5

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….

Maintaining viable underground performance spaces in Sydney – 17th July 2008

Shaun,
We had some bad news from the council last night, was wondering if you could urgently post this on the mailing list?

————————————————–

Cut To Bits is looking for a new venue!!!
Can you help?
If you have a space/ warehouse / place to house this awesome gig on Saturday 19th July (i.e. this coming sat) please let us know!
Contact David : d***@****mail.com or phone 041*******

————————————-

Shaun,

Basically the council received 2 cop reports from 2 gigs which went on past midnight. The council and cops were fine with everything it seems until we went past our legal operating hours (10 am to 12 pm).

The letter wasn’t too rough and the warehouse owners live overseas so we should be ok but we have had to slow down all operations and will be applying for an arts licence or venue licence asap.

Do you have a email group for all the warehouses operating around Marrickville? I think we should be keeping everyone in the loop with council and cop struggles so that these places can remain in operation. Perhaps it is something I should start up?

I don’t really want to spread this info too far at the moment, only to people who may jeopardise their space by doing a similar thing. We don’t want that.

I’m going to sit down tonight and formulate a letter type thing to email out to this mailing list once we know more, if that’s ok with you?

Also would it be possible to grab a contact for Red Rattler? I’d like to have a chat to the grrrls about how they made thier space legal, how much it’s costing etc ect and if they were able to strike a deal with the council easliy.

Thanks for all your help!

Hey B*** – that sucks!  Will the July 28th show still be ok (remember we’d like to finish around 10.30 for that one) or should I look for somewhere else?

I don’t have a separate list for warehouse spaces in the area at this stage
Hope we can work it out!

Hi Shaun,

Let me talk to everyone tonight. The other issue is the number of people.

To be honest I think it will be a no but let me confirm this eve with the Shirlows. The plan is to resume gigs in Sept. Might be good to sound other spaces out (should be easy as hell for you to find somewhere else though) now but i’ll let you know tonight anyway.

Thanks for P***’s contact, might have a meeting with her when she’s next available.

Hi Shaun,

We can’t go ahead with that date I’m afraid. Sorry, would just be stupid under the circumstances.

I’ve got the crappy job of letting whose booked until September slowly know. First preferences for gigs past Sept go to people who we’ve had to cancel on. I’m going to finish this process and then send a Shirlow update to your mailing list and ours if that’s ok.

Also there’s a new venue for Cut to Bits:

Cnr of Lawson street and regent street Redfern.

Thanks for all your help!

Ok no worries – I’ll see what I can do.
What’s the council’s actual beef?  Have there been noise complaints?

On Fri, Jul 18 Dirty Shirlow <dirtys***@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Shaun,
The problem is that the police reported 2 gigs as ‘dance parties’ (utter crap) to the council., mainly concerned about us operating past midnight.

They also had a minor concern about the number of people there but I think we can account for that with ‘industry launches’ and ‘ private parties’.

No noise complaints as far as I’m aware.

Cheers,

No threats just a letter stating ‘we think that you are doing this and you do not have approval to, we suggest that you apply for something else’…

11th Jul 2021 – The issues in this email were common for the DIY warehouse spaces around Marrickville at the time. It seemed to happen a lot to Dirty Shirlows unfortunately. They soldiered on, like many spaces, for a few years. The shows in these spaces brought lots of artists and fans into the area and with so many rules around entries and exits, toilets per person etc, the council and cops had any number of possibilities to get spaces shut down. It was amazing that so many lasted as long as they did. Eventually, a collective got together to purchase one of the warehouses to make a permanent space available called the Red Rattler. Those folks had to spend a small fortune for compliance but eventually, it got off the ground to provide a legitimate DIY venue in the area. They still constantly got hassled though. The Cut to Bits mentioned I’d never been to and have no memory of at all, so despite having my finger supposedly on the pulse with all things underground in Sydney, there were still lots of other ventures happening around. It was a good time for DIY music scenes in Sydney and it felt like everyone was working together to keep things going.


Before the events discussed above:

I’m uncontrollably happy, drank too much coffee and won’t be able to sleep tonight.

Brave New Films and tenzenmen presents

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism

“Outfoxed” examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, have been running a “race to the bottom” in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public’s right to know.

The film explores Murdoch’s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.

Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.

This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it’s like to work for Fox News.  These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a “right-wing” point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said “There’s no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can’t be crossed.”

this is the last in the series of Brave New Films documentaries.  as per all their docos they are free to distribute and screen.  if you would like a copy of any of the dvds then drop me a line at tenzenmen.
