Life goes on…
Here’s a few things I’ve done in the past couple of weeks that I’d like to mention:
Just For Kicks - a really cool doco about trainers and people’s obsession with collecting them. Part of Resfest in Sydney at the Newtown Dendy. There was a nice Resfest Lounge to hang out in at the back where it’s normally the carpark.
Bazoo Bajou & Steve Spacek at The Basement Steve Spacek did very mellow, downbeat, smooth soul but with some electronic beats accompanied by a dude on a Powerbook (who turned out to be Mark P from Global Communications). I have to admit when trying to describe his voice, I’d compare him to Marvin Gaye - Whoa - what a compliment, but he does have smooth voice. The DJ from Bazoo Bajou played some pleasant funky dance tracks which also included some dub/reggae sound. he was accopanied by MC Kye who did a few numbers. Quite an enjoyable night but not as packed out as other Future Classic gigs we’ve been to.
High Tea at The Victoria Room, Darlinghust. A gathering of 11 friends organised by Joanne. Luxurious surroundings for a lovely afternoon tea. I couldn’t say it was the best value ($25) after having High Tea at the Swissotel on Market St, City (that was all you can eat), but the atmosphere and the decor made it feel more authentic.
Popfrenzy Xmas Party - the Ho Ho Ho Down - Jo and Andrew did a great job of turning the Mandarin Club into a winter wonderland meets festive pinatas. Lots fun sitting on santa’s knee and poking his stomach!
Big Soup - Ali Reza’s night of awesome electronic music at The Clare - it was a shame there weren’t more people. But as we know there aren’t that many people in Sydney who like “good” dance music. Check out the Big Soup promo mix CD - it’s rad!
