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.
