Wednesday 28th June – 5th July
You know you’ve had a big weekend when you’ve got three pass-out stamps on your wrist and can only remember being at one place. So, if like us you need to calm down a bit but don’t want to get bored, Issue 061 will give you some options. If you want a quiet night at the movies try The Chumscrubber, or for a light read pick up Doingbird magazine. For a cultural dose head to Picasso: Love & War 1935-1945, or if you want to spend some money on something that isn’t bad for you, try new vintage store Joachim & Anna or accessories from What Katy Did.
However, if you show no sign of slowing down, and have managed to purchase a new liver on eBay, then this weekend will give you plenty of fast-paced action. The Midnight Juggernauts launch their new EP, Meccanoid host a midnight fashion parade and of course there are the latest instalments of the Modular and Favela Rock parties. Going out has never been so in. |

She cut herself, and he liked it. The great Spaniard Pablo Picasso is renown for his bright cubist masterpieces, but from 1935-1945 his world was steeped in the dark romance of a figure called Dora Maar.
A photographer, revered beauty and self-mutilator, Maar was Picasso’s lover in pre-war Paris. Her intense sadness and psychological apathy inspired some of his most suggestive drawings, prints and paintings. She was his ‘Weeping Woman’, she was by his side as he painted the ‘Guernica’, and they were together as Paris became a Nazi stronghold before WWII, an occurrence that gave birth to many of Picasso’s disturbing still-life compositions.
The NGV doesn’t usually do things on a small scale and Picasso: Love & War 1935-1945 is no exception. The exhibition features over 350 of Picasso’s works and accompanying photographs by Maar, including the ‘Guernica’, which won’t be shown anywhere else outside of Paris. If that isn’t incentive enough, we have some free passes to give away, just click here. |

If clothing had an emotional persona, What Katy Did would be something of a nostalgic princess, floating the gap between Alice in Wonderland and The Corpse Bride.
Merging childhood dreams with darker fantasy, accessories Designer Katy Bottomley has spent the past few years building a collection around found objects removed from their original context. Utilising pieces picked up everywhere from industrial lighting firms to toy manufacturers, Katy’s heart brooches are hardened, her skeleton pins celebrate life, and her asymmetrical dove earrings refuse to fly a straight path.
Each doubled-edged piece is designed to be brandished by boys and girls alike, so why not screw with your lover’s head and win them a ‘rack off’ love brooch here. |

ThreeThousand says no to deconstructed denim but yes to quality vintage and, unlike some retro shops, Joachim & Anna definitely know the difference.
A retro/vintage boutique the store holds hand-stitched vintage sundresses, weathered leather jackets and re-worked tees - plus enough shirts and cowboy boots to give the Lone Ranger a run for his chaps.
A revolving range of in-store music and artwork comes courtesy of 100% Melbourne-based artists, so if you’re local and talented when it comes to design, art or music, contact J&A to exhibit in-store. Old has never been newer. |

Waterloo has long been used as a metaphor for a final reckoning, a settling of old scores. Though in the case of Carl Barat’s new band Dirty Pretty Things it’s more about laying the ghosts of the past to bed than getting even with them.
All savvy and insanely resilient clamour, the frenetic debut defiantly shrugs off the wet blanket of failed friendship and tabloid furore. Avoiding the wandering shambles that old flame Doherty was frustrated by, Waterloo To Anywhere is single minded in its attack.
Displaying an enduring love affair with The Clash’s reggae inspired, jangly, punkish swagger, Barat bleeds an urgent romanticism for the battered beauty of Britain, reminiscent of the time-honoured poet William Blake.
At a blisteringly short 33 minutes, it’s a sonic blast, a pure release of pent-up frustration and aggression. A gin fuelled lament, this watershed album is a fitting addition to the legacy of The Libertines. |
