seven seven seven is back, for one night only

On Sunday October 4, SEVEN SEVEN SEVEN will be summoned from the nightclub graveyard and take over Spectrum for the spectacular long weekend party send off the old girl never received.

For those that missed out, SEVEN SEVEN SEVEN was pretty much a kind of chill but fun night out (or depending on your circumstances it could be a complete rager). The idea was to sidestep the blog music scene and get back to basics with great tracks from 50's till the early 90's or so that actually pick you up off your chair or your corner of the bar and start doing the dancing for you. It was a shit load of fun.

It was buried about 12 months ago but we thought it was time to maybe get Weekend At Bernie's on her and give her one last spin around the dancefloor. This time round we are bringing bands into the equation, with BORDER THIEVES, VIRGO RISING, POCKETS and PAPER MOON playing across the evening before we clear the stage and get a whole lotta shaking going on.

Guest DJs for the night include the MEWBURN J. GIRLS DJs, the washed up boys from SAILMAKER (new EP 'BEG' out now) with the always reliable, recognisable and ravishing UP TO OUR HIPS DJs making up the numbers and filling in the blanks.

Things kick off at 8pm, bands start 830 and you no doubt can at least guess how it plays out from there. Get ready to see our Spectrum renovations - you wouldn't recognise the place. As usual for HIPS events, it'll be cheap drinks and good times for the entire evening.

AND FINALLY, please come and request songs - everyone has their favourites so get amongst it. No work Monday means good times.

$8 entry.

sex and glue - friday october 2 - phoenix

This Friday we are bringing SEX & GLUE back with a new venue, new artwork, new drink specials and new level of rage.

The debauchery of SEX & GLUE in Oxford Arts will now be concentrated into a venue a quarter of the size and a ceiling half as high which essentially results in ten times as much party.

Your favourite DJs from UP TO OUR HIPS [and other popular clubs somewhat of this style] are champing at the bit to play all your favourite pop-punk tracks in our purpose built CAVE RAVE. Seriously, they are so keen we have a phone number to SMS requests to - 0466 284 454. Save it, and start sending us the songs you want to hear. *

On a side note, fucking hats off to MARK C for this week's artwork. Ignore the fact it says October 3 on it instead of October 2 we were just so stoked on how it looked we unleashed it on the world prematurely. THAT'S THE ONLY THING PREMATURE OVER AT UTOH HQ THOUGH IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

There will be $4.5 BEERS and $5 SPIRITS all night, $5 JAGERBOMBS from 9-11 and FREE FREE FREE ENTRY till 10pm to celebrate our move. Come take advantage of our hospitality.

ex nuns + yeah bears + pockets + fistmouth + floor show - friday june 12 - phoenix

Our little brains have been ticking over since the last EX NUNS. We've been plotting and planning and drinking and dabbling, staying up all night on research missions with pens pressed to pages and bottles glued to lips. Now the wait is over and we are really, really fucking excited. This week down in PHOENIX we got bands. Three of them. On the floor. Being noisy. Being fucked up.

Welcome YEAH BEARS, POCKETS and FISTMOUTH to the first ever EX NUNS FLOOR PARTY.

We'll be dragging a PA in, sticking the bands in the corner and turning everything up really loud. We know we lost the plot there for a bit. I blame it on the benders. Fuck it. We still have the same amazing drink specials. We still have plenty of eligible young humans. We'll have DJs playing dirty punk and hardcore jams till way early in the morning. This is the party you wanted. Yeah, you're fucking welcome...

up to our hips confessions

When the UP TO OUR HIPS DJ's got asked to DJ Vegas at the HOT DAMN GOOD FRIDAY EVE PARTY we knew we had to come up with something special. The kids were expecting a show and we didn't want to disappoint. Hello UTOH CONFESSON BOX.

While the confession aspect didn't work out exactly how we planned, we now have a shit load of cock drawings, criticisms of our DJ skills and notes about our infamous DJ LUKEWARM.

SEX & GLUE is back with a bang and a bandana on Friday May 15.

With all the birthdays happening this month we decided to hold a little throwback party to celebrate all things 80's, including [mostly] ourselves. Come down for our 80's party rave and pat all the birthday kids on the back. We've all done a wonderful job making it this far, especially with THE MAN always trying to get up in our shit, so we deserve a night of debaucherous excess and disastrous fashion choices.

The drinks are practically 80's prices at $4 beers and $5 spirits and the door charge is cheaper than 80's standard at $10 or $8 on a list. The party is at the very [kind of] 80's OXFORD ART FACTORY and starts at 11.45pm.

hips003 - mark c mixtape - dncflrnthms

a few words from MARK C

Hello friends, a small note about the mp3 file you are about to download:

It was completed to the stage it is now towards the end of 2008 on a computer program.

The main purpose of this MIX was to take a BANGING selection of SONGS that i had been LISTENING TO at the time and put (or mix) them together in an enjoyable and friendly manner that lasted 30 or so minutes.

Upon its (almost) completion it turns out my internet at home was thoroughly incapable up uploading anything close to a file this size so nobody ended up hearing or appraising my mix in the making. Further to that evil conglomerate AXXXXXN figured out that i had ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED a copy of their software and somehow hacked my shit from inside the extra-net and locked the program to prevent me completing the mix and achieving BLOGHOUSE SUPERSTARDOM (my personal DJ fantasy slash dream since late 2006).

Since then I had pretty much forgotten about it - partly because i didn't really think anybody would want to bother spending 34 minutes and 8 seconds listening to something like that.. THAT IS until Dan B got a hold of it afew weeks ago.

He promptly decided is was acceptable enough to get 'released' by his popular promotions company UP TO OUR HIPS and asked me to create the little macro jpg that you see above and the small portion of text that you are reading now.

Many of the SONGS are quite dated - anywhere from 17 to 300 blog years old, but that is understandable considering its history so please enjoy it for what it is.

ex nuns party - friday may 8 - phoenix

Friday May 8 we are waging war against the cold and getting our young, supple and nubile bodies pressed up against each other in the comfort of toasty Phoenix for another installment of the EX NUNS SAGA.

Last week everyone got a little crazy under the strobe-enhanced falling foam and this next one is unlikely to be all that different. The main ingredients are the same - a pool of $5 jagerbombs from 9-11 and a shower $4.50 beers and $5 spirits till your friends are sick of you and take you home.

Getting in the way of your conversation will be the finest selection of party tunes, indie favourites, punk anthems, pop monstrosities and classics this side of your most well thought out mixtape.

Entry is only $10 or $8 if you pick up one of our sexy flyers. Doors at 9pm, grab at taxi at 6am.

See you at the bar/on the dancefloor/in the bathroom

Man, I'm getting itchy. It seems like an eternity since the last EX NUNS and seems about the same till the next one. I know how these things sneak up on people like us though so I'm sure before you know it Friday April 24 will be upon us and you'll be stumbling out of THE OFFICIAL EX NUNS ANZAC DAY EVE BEACH PARTY at sunrise to head down to the dawn service and disgrace yourself.

Then I imagine Today Tonight will do a report on EX NUNS and say we are corrupting the youth and Anna Coren will be having tea with your grandmother who will be talking heaps of smack on you and your mates and you'll be all like FUCK YOU GRANDMA and then she'll stab you with her father's bayonet that probably still has blood on it from 1915.

So how did it come to this? That 9-11pm period probably didn't help. $5 JAGERBOMBS for that two hour period no doubt got your night off swimmingly. With one million party favourites and punk hits over the evening we are expecting at least 20 pairs of heels to be broken leaving the dancefloor looking like no man's land after an artillery barrage.

Grandma would definitely not approve. She totally needs to chill.

Other goodies we have for you include:

* XXX NUNS 2-UP
* SIMPSON AND HIS DONKEY SHOW
* MUSTARD GAS DISCO
* $4.5 TRENCH BEERS ALL NIGHT
* $5 DIGGER SPIRITS ALL NIGHT

Come down because it will be all raging on the western front this Friday. EX NUNS - PHOENIX - 34 OXFORD ST DARLINGHURST - DOORS 9PM - $10 ENTRY - UPTOOURHIPS.COM

sex & glue - friday april 3 - party pix

The last SEX & GLUE ended up getting pretty wild. The room was already full due to the sold out Kris Roe show that went down beforehand and things were crazy at the door trying to get people in. Everyone partied till some stupid hour of the morning and then they all lost it and stormed the stage to create the ultimate 'Babe Stage Rave'. Good times all round.

some things we have in the pipeline

We've decided we are going to start doing more 'stuff'. I seriously sit around doing NOTHING all day so I figure if I load myself up with more projects then I can start saying I did heaps at work today and that is why I deserve you to be buy me a beer.

(MARK C, OF MARK C MIX FAME)

A little while a go our mate MARK C started making a mix on some programme he probably downloaded illegally. That was probably like a year ago now. Well it seems he has finished it. By finish I mean that the makers of the programme had some precautionary measure built into it to prevent piracy and it has locked itself so he is kind of finished by default now. Regardless, we will be releasing the mix through UP TO OUR HIPS. It'll be available via free download so make sure you use up your MEGABYTES on this baby. It is actually pretty decent.


(GAY PARIS)

Next up we are going to be launching UP TO OUR HIPS BOOTLEG SERIES (name may change, I just cant think of anything else at the moment). This will basically consist of bootlegs of shows that we put on, and sometimes shows that other people put on. It should be pretty cool and first up will be GAY PARIS, YEAH BEARS and MR VENGEANCE from our birthday party last friday. You'll be able to download all of them for free from our website next week.

(dodgy photoshop representation of what said bag may look like)

Now for some arts and crafts... we'll be making some 100% HANDMADE WITH LOVE UP TO OUR HIPS TOTE BAGS. Wonderfully practical, infinitely desirable, they should be available next week - depending on the turnaround of my little sweatshop slave kids.

Oh, and before I forget. Thanks to Dennis Lyxzén (Refused, The International Noise Conspiracy) for coming down and joining the UP TO OUR HIPS DJs for an evening last Saturday down at Q Bar.

Come to SEX & GLUE tonight.

sex and glue - friday april 3 - oxford art factory

After almost two months off, SEX + GLUE is coming to Oxford Arts on Friday April 3. We've been itching to get back into the venue, back into the party, back into the bar and back into the backroom.

We haven't forgotten what we are doing though - expect $4 beers and $5 spirits and the beautiful UP TO OUR HIPS DJs dropping one of the better party-punk-indie-pop mash ups that are going around these days.

We'll have some fuck off massive ridiculous artwork, the KRIS ROE after party, charming boys and untouchable girls scuffing up the new dancefloor and your heart rate close to breaking point till 5am.

As the for details:
Where: Oxford Art Factory
When: Friday April 3
Doors: 11.45pm

up to our hips first birthday party + ex nuns after party

It has been a year since I resigned from Hot Damn! and Destroy All Lines with the intention of dropping out of the club game and doing something useful with my life. Perhaps actually using that piece of paper I spent five years at Sydney University trying to get. Maybe finally biting the bullet and booking that flight to Europe. However the lure of drink tickets and strobe lights dragged me back into promoting and UP TO OUR HIPS was born.

What started as DJ's after bands at Spectrum grew to include SEX & GLUE at Oxford Arts, the very cool but unfortunately cursed SEVEN SEVEN SEVEN at Club 77, a bunch of great shows, some awesome releases, UTOH DJ slots, lots of plans including zines and art in the works and now we've come full circle to where I started doing all this shit three years ago with our new baby, EX NUNS down in Phoenix.

At the end of this month, or Friday March 27th to be more precise, we will be celebrating one year of UP TO OUR HIPS. Our first birthday, referred to in some circles as 'one more year DB has avoided reality and continued to shirk real responsibility while living out some ridiculous fantasy to be 18 years old forever' will be a big night, with two parties running simultaneously before culminating in one massive rage fest in Phoenix.

In Spectrum, our friends in GAY PARIS, YEAH BEARS, MR VENGEANCE and POCKETS will be playing very, very loud music. Entry is only $10 and doors are at 8pm

GAY PARIS - http://www.myspace.com/gayparismusic
YEAH BEARS - http://www.myspace.com/yeahbearz
MR VENGEANCE - http://www.myspace.com/mrvengeanceband
POCKETS - http://www.myspace.com/ladylikeslightning

As you would expect we will have the UP TO OUR HIPS DJ's playing between the bands to prevent awkward silence and keeping your blood circulating so you'll be ready to dance at a moment's notice.


If seeing a bunch of bands isn't your thing, then head downstairs to Phoenix where are more CDJ inclined friends will be flicking through their cd wallets and keeping the dancefloor busy. We open the doors for EX NUNS at 9pm with that ridiculous JAGERBOMB SPECIAL going till 11pm.

What JAGERBOMB SPECIAL???

Between 9 and 11pm you can pick up four Jagerbombs for only $20. $5 a piece. That is insane, and the perfect way to get your evening started.

Entry $10 or FREE if you have a stamp from paying to see the bands.

M-A-S-S-I-V-E B-A-R-G-A-I-N

The EX NUNS PARTY will be going till 5 or 6am, so basically when the leather cleaner catches up to everyone. The drinks are cheap all night, $4.50 beers and $5 spirits.

It should be a great night for all involved so come down and let me give you a hug for being awesome and helping me do the things I love to do.

the scare - no money - free download

Late last year, THE SCARE went into the studio to record their second LP with some dude called Daniel Johns from some band called Silverchair. Fast forward a few months, with some sold out shows and Big Day Out dates under their belts, the record is finished.

It is really, really good. Like, proper good.

'Ooze Voodoo' is slated to come out mid-year or so, but in the spirit of the first single 'No Money' we have a free download of it for you. As you can imagine the song is basically about being mad poor and a massive piece of shit which I'm sure most of us can relate to (well, I know I certainly can). The band has, for lack of a better word, matured since their last record Chivalry and I think that people will be pleasantly surprised with the direction they've taken.

Anyway, enough waxing lyrical, download the fucking song.

This week we back up yet again and destroy ourselves in an erratic display of reckless drinking, dangerous dancing and the sort of vulgar party times you've come to expect from the freshest, rawest and fuckedest new punk/party club in Sydney, the debaucherous EX NUNS.

Come down early to get your psuedo-punk fixes, then hang around for the inevitable descent into a raging underground party mess. Our bag of tricks include $4.5 BEERS and $5 SPIRITS all night, MARKC leading the DJ wars with THIRSTY DEDDS and a bunch of special guests, dark corners and chilled out Q-Ts just wanting to have a good time.

yellow brick road - wednesday february 25 - oxford arts

The Oxford Art Factory are pleased to announce that we have installed a proper band PA in the gallery bar, and plan to break it in with a new weekly Wednesday night – YELLOW BRICK ROAD.

YBR showcases up and coming bands that may not have had many opportunities to play at established venues. We want bands who can draw approximately two garage loads of people to a gig, to give them a chance to build up their profile and fan base, and give their careers a good nudge along the way to the stage where they’re headlining their own shows in the main room at OAF. We know that there’s a world of talent out there waiting for an opportunity to be heard, and we have some very exciting acts planned for the coming months.

For the kids, entry is free and the booze is cheap ($4 beers and $5 spirits!), which is a pretty strong incentive to get out on a Wednesday night. If you need another good reason, one of our favourites is the sheer joy of seeing a band play a house party style gig. Band on the floor, so close you can smell them, and the dance floor at risk of intrusion by rogue band members. We love the electricity of a band playing in an intimate space, and we reckon you should get along and experience it for yourself.

The next YBR is on Wednesday 25th February, and features Sydney indie darlings, The Spirits.

Be there!

ex nuns - friday february 13 - phoenix

This Friday EX NUNS will be going nuts in Phoenix again. Some people seem to be confused as to where Phoenix actually is. It is the downstairs basement where HOT DAMN used to be back in the day that everyone lost their shit in and the pipe got broken and place got flooded. Yeah!

Get ready to destroy yourself in an erratic display of reckless drinking, dangerous dancing and the sort of vulgar party times you've come to expect from the freshest, rawest and fuckedest new punk/party club in Sydney, the debaucherous EX NUNS.

Come down early to get your psuedo-punk fixes, then hang around for the inevitable descent into a raging underground party mess. Our bag of tricks include $4.5 BEERS and $5 SPIRITS all night, MARKC leading the DJ wars with a bunch of special guests, dark corners and chilled out Q-Ts just wanting to have a good time.

EX NUNS @ PHOENIX, FRIDAY 13th FEBRUARY. DOORS 9PM. ENTRY $10/8.
