sex and glue - friday december 19 - phoenix bar/party pit

SEX AND GLUE / PHOENIX BAR FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY

FRIDAY DECEMBER 19 / DOORS 9PM

$4 BEERS / $5 SPIRITS / $5 CHAMPAGNES ALL NIGHT

BEST FRIENDS REUNION / PAT ELLIS / LUKEWARM / NICKLEZ & DIMEZ / SONIK

$10 ENTRY / GET THERE BEFORE THE 2AM LOCKOUT

All I've heard over the last 12 months or so was how good the old Phoenix days were. Probably a fairly esoteric thing to say straight off the bat but bare with me. The Phoenix days were pretty fucking raging and in my efforts to never let you down (ever, EVER!) I'm going out on a limb to give you what you want - SEX AND GLUE AT PHOENIX. Sure, we are normally at Oxford Arts but we got bumped off our night this month (ironically by The Brag Xmas Party - I hope we get a discount this issue...) but we moved and shaked and kept the party going. So if you you want to be a part of this little bit of history make sure you get down this Friday night to share this special moment. We even have a special surprise for you all - THE BEST FRIENDS REUNION. Joining those old boys are our other old boys including PAT ELLIS, LUKEWARM, NICKLES AND DIMES and SONIK. If you didn't know our vibe before I'm sure you do now. We have sorted you out for drinks as well with $4 BEERS, $5 SPIRITS and $5 CHAMPAGNES ALL NIGHT. Entry is a measly $10 and doors are at 9PM. Don't leave your bolt for too late though cause of that whole 2am lockout bullshit. Check out MYSPACE.COM/SEXANDGLUE and UPTOOURHIPS.COM for EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!

This night is going to be massive for a whole bunch of reasons so do try get down relatively early to avoid missing out due to the lockout. That would really suck. Any questions hit me up.

THIS FRIDAY/ OCTOBER 10 / OXFORD ART FACTORY/
46 OXFORD ST, DARLINGHURST, SYDNEY / DOORS 11.30PM
$4 TAP BEERS / $5 VODKAS & BOURBONS / ENTRY $10 OR $5 ON A GUESTLIST

THE RANT:

SEX AND GLUE is on a Friday this week. Forgive the change up but our hands were tied so we decided to just focus on what we do best - hosting a raging party.

All your favourite bits will still be there. The cheap drinks, the drunk DJ's getting a little too loose with the basic rules of a party-punk soundtrack, the films on the big screen, the massive posters that make you say "oh no they didn't", the cute kids and the late night romeo and juliets.

Your old favourites will be back to get things moving and shaking and bouncing and breaking. Australia's Number One (ANO) MARKC, NICKLEZ "look at my new haircut" & DIMEZ and LUKE "Don't I know you from Myspace?" WARM will be there for your request-hassling pleasure. Closing the night up will be a brand new DJ crew we found trolling the strip a few weeks ago (them, not us). They said "We're the HETERO LIFE PARTNERS, give us a set". We said "Buy us a drink and you can get whatever you want" so here we are. They better not ruin the club.

It is down at Club 77 on William St, #77 William St actually.

THE RETREAT guys and girls will be heading down after to drop a little dj set so come down and say hello and take it easy. It is only $5 entry with your stamp from Spectrum, or $10 otherwise.

Just when you were wondering when the next one was going to be, here we are to save your life and ruin your shoes. SEX AND GLUE is back this SATURDAY at OXFORD ART FACTORY. Think: a party with everyone you know, empty glasses rolling on the floor, bodies pressed and zippers stressed, screaming the chorus of your favourite punk-party songs, cigarette wrapped lips, the taxi driver watching you two in the mirror, sneaking in just before day break, leaving not long after, no numbers, no names and straight to confession in sin soaked clothes. Keeping the room noisy will be MARK C [BEST FRIENDS], NICKLES & DIMEZ [GHETTOBLASTER], PELLIS DEE [EX NUNS], LUKEWARM [INTERNET!] and RUN JUMP DANCE YEAH [STYLUS]. You know the names, you know the songs so we may as well make a party of it. We have $4 domestic beers and $5 house spirits all night. Cheap entry. Doors @ 11.30pm, goes till late. Saturday June 28th @ OXFORD ART FACTORY

the retreat

Last year some time I was passed a demo by a couple of mates who used to be in this rock and roll band but secretly wanted to be in Limbeck. I wasn't sure what to expect but low and behold it was actually pretty good. They were recruiting members at the time and had asked two girls I knew to join on drums and keys. This spruiked my interest a bit so I was always keen to hear where the band was at and what the plans were and all that other crap that comes along with friends' band. Anyway they finally got their shit together when this other dude from the Gold Coast or Brisbane or somewhere in Queensland moved down and brought his bass along with him. They started practicing in the lounge room of this massive house in Neutral Bay and were soon playing shows.

Their first show sold out Spectrum.

Since then they have started and almost finished putting together their first EP which is going to be amazing. I was lucky enough to drop in on recording a few times and it has all the charm of the original demo but already sounds bigger and better and is going to be one of the gems of the year. Amid all this excitement we started talking about the demo and how the actual release is a little while off and it would be nice to put something together to show everyone what the band is about. We wanted to do something interesting, something a little out there and something fresh. I think we hit the mark.

Ladies and gentlemen, THE RETREAT...

UP TO OUR HIPS is honoured to be bestowed the privilege of releasing THE RETREAT Demo Tape. Limited to 100 copies, the first 50 will feature artwork personally designed by individual members of the band. We have no idea what to expect back but are confident that each of the five designs are going to be special and suitably sentimental. Sure, one may be a shrine to Lindsay Lohan and another a homage to the Spectrum Special Spot (SSS) but that is half the fun. With four tracks on each side, including a cover of The Eagles 'Take It Easy', you'll be wearing this baby out in no time.

In celebration of this release THE RETREAT will be playing a show at The Hopetoun Hotel on Thursday July 17 with some special guests. The tape will be available at this show and is expected to sell out rather quickly (particularly those first 50) so put it in your diary now to get down early and snap one up.

To hear some of THE RETREAT'S music, including two songs off the tape stop by their myspace:

SEX AND GLUE is back this week, messier and dirtier than ever. Last time (at 3.30am) the good people at OXFORD ART FACTORY were all "yo, let's do another one asap" and I was all "shit dude I'm drunk can I just have another shot" and they were like "alright" and then I was like "cool". This time around we have $4 BEERS and $5 SPIRITS ALL NIGHT so there is no excuse to not be walking out at 6am and vomiting all over the SEX AND GLUE sign that will be passed around like a bottle of vodka at your little sisters year 10 formal. MARK C, NICKLES AND DIMES, LUKEWARM and the lovely ladies of MURDER SHE WROTE will be playing 87% of your favourite punk-party-pop hits and sometimes they even take requests - no promises though cause DJ are very anal about their sets. Long story short, there is some shit going down SATURDAY MAY 10 @ OXFORD ARTS. Entry is a measly $5 on a guestlist or $10 general. Doors at 11.30.
