DANE CERTIFICATE

Empress regular, magician and indie stalwart Dane Certificate is slipping onto the stage for a rare headline performance.

Indie dirt punks Autoportraits and The Enclosures round out this mind bending evening of tunes. Everything we love about Melbourne music right here.

DEAR PLASTIC
SLEEP DECADE
REVERSE FOX

Question: Have you seen these three bands before? If the answer is yes then you're probably already queuing up Scotchmer Street. If the answer is no then.... well it's going to be OK!! Dear Plastic are the kind of nerdy genius' you'd expect to find playing on James Murphy's ipod. They bring bells, whistles and all the rest with their delicate, dark and groovy tunes. On the support-a-phone are two equally amazeballs live acts: Sleep Decad with their beautiful moody shoe gazing pop and Reverse Fox getting all up in your grill with their noisy, acidic, thumping groove based tunes. Excellence.

Doors: 8.30pm / $5

LOWER PLENTY - 'HARD RUBBISH' LP LAUNCH
BITCH PREFECT
MAD NANNA

This is the launch of Lower Plenty's second album and it's going to be fucking rad. The band comprises of members of Deaf Wish, Total Control, UV Race, The Focus and “about a billion other awesome bands”. Recorded on eight-track reel-to-reel tape in one take. Come down and make sure they don't have to take too many copies of the vinyl pressing home with them (those things are heavy).

Most ably supporting are Mad Nanna and the always amazing Bitch Prefect. Get in early we suggest.

Doors: 8.30pm / $8

HOW TO BREAK EVEN - CABARET PERFORMANCE
WITH CABARET ANTIQUE AND JUDY BLUE

The red velvet curtains part to reveal a man. His inanimate form is sprawled across the floor, his hair matted with cobwebs and his shabby attire obscured by dust, thrown off from the relics and debris of bygone eras of cabaret that lie littered around his lifeless body. His face is hidden in the shadows. Who is he? Is he dead? Slowly, the man rises from the rubble and stares hard into the audience, his eyes betraying his confusion and awe at the unfamiliar world that lies in front of him. Gone is the familiar, seedy gin-joint that the men and women of cabaret have known so well for so many years. This is a new world – a new time. But before the man has time to process the change, he is dusted off and thrust head first into a night of debauchery that he, and the audience, will never forget. A twisted plot, Sexy ladies, Stylish musicians and sharp dance routines to make you stop in your tracks!! The Cabaret Antique Company are launching their first cabaret show - ‘How To Break Even’.
