No Money Weekend
Blow off steam with our low-income adventure inspiration.. Welcome to your $0 weekend. (Image: Lotte Stekelenburg). MEMES AT THE MOVIES If watching 85+ internet LOL cat videos on a big movie screen sounds like a good idea to you, then, high five, because it sounds like a good idea to us, too.  The Northbridge Piazza have partnered up with the Cat Haven curate a bunch of the best Internet cat videos (think: Grumpy Cat, Keyboard Cat, Henri, Nyan Cat), and have thrown in a few bonus locally made videos too (AKA Vines from Perth people who have cats) The only major flaw in this festival is that if you’re a crazy cat lady / man, this will require you to leave your furry children at home for the night and step out in public to hang out with… actual humans.  - Dani Marsland Free. Sat Jan 17, 5.30pm. No bookings required. Northbridge Piazza, Corner Lake and James St, Northbridge. Bring your own picnic, get there early to get a beanbag. No pets...haha.  CHICKEN, BEER & T-SHIRTS We’re not going

New Music: Slum Sociable - Anyway
Welcome to the washed out lo-fo jazz-hop world of Mordialloc, Victoria-based duo Slum Sociable.. Dubbed as Mordialloc’s filthiest animals in the presser I received about Slum Sociable, that is unfortunately about all I'm able to tell you at this juncture. The first thing it did was introduce a place known as Mordialloc to me, which I now know is in Victoria, and whatever goes on out there has produced an absolutely killer piece of lo-fi psychedelic-pop. It first appeared on influential UK website The Line Of Best Fit, and it's not hard to see why - the trip hop elements that have become synonymous with the Bristol area of the world abound on Anyway, and instantly stamp them as an act to watch in 2015. You can do just that when they make their live debut at Sugar Mountain Festival in a couple of weeks, but until then chuck this one on repeat: Follow Slum Sociable: FACEBOOK / WEBSITE / TWITTER
