andy zao + up to our hips + world's greatest shave

andy zao in action! click here to donate!

Our mate Andrew Hill, otherwise known as the infamous ANDY ZAO, has decided to take part in the cancer research fundraising initiative 'World's Greatest Shave'. The following is from the man himself:

I have decided to take part in the World's Greatest Shave this year to
support and raise some coin for the Leukaemia Foundation. My salt and pepper
hair and fierce but patchy beard are going under the blade. Getting rid of
all the hair on my melon is an easy sacrifice to make to help a good cause,
and I'm sure lots of you would love to see me bald and ugly, so get out your
plastic and chuck some sponsorship my way...

You can do secure payments online at:
http://my.imisfriendraising.com.au/personalPage.aspx?SID=48365

Most of us have been affected or know someone who has been affected by a
family member or friend having cancer. It is horrible. Raising money for
research that could one day possibly lead to prevention or a cure by
attacking my head with a blade is the least I could do...

Thanks for your support!

Andrew Hill

Any donations at all would be massively appreciated not just by us, or Andy, but by everyone who has been through the trauma of living with cancer or watching someone close to them have to live through it, or in some cases not.

If you aren't the donating-on-the-internet type we will have money boxes at the door of EX NUNS each week till the shave goes down for any spare change you might want to contribute to the cause. We will also be donating a portion of profits from the club to Andy's sponsorship. Any money you can give, no matter the amount, would be amazing.

disclaimer: these photos were not taken by our usual, very competent (and cute to boot!) photographer ms petra o'halloran. they were taken by a series of raging drunks who would run off with the camera for 20 minutes at a time before returning with another 50 shots snapped off. i also don't think anyone started taking photos till 2am or so which would help explain why everyone in them is such a god damn mess

sex and glue + hell city glamours all night mega party - oxford art factory - friday february 6

Alright, we are still recovering from the last SEX & GLUE MEGA RAVE but it's time to practice some new moves and get ready to start showing the kids what you got.

Our mates from HELL CITY GLAMOURS are about to pack their bags and head over to SXSW to get signed and make a million dollars but at the moment they are dirt poor scum bags in tattered jeans that wont even have enough money to eat when they get there (that is if they have enough money to get to Texas in the first place).

We decided we'd help them out by putting on one last show before they go so they at least have some of the folding stuff to bribe immigration with (have you seen Mo???). Also playing on the night are Sydney's new punk-rock sensations RUN! HIDE! and THE LIKS.

After 11.30 be prepared for all the typical SEX & GLUE debauchery that you've come to know and love (and LOVE). The party is on FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6th at OXFORD ARTS. Entry is only $10, and doors are at 8PM 9 (guestlist entry will be available after 11.30).

SYDNEY'S NEWEST AND MOST RAGING PUNK/PARTY/INDIE MEGA RAVE


click here to view the facebook event for this night

FYI NOT THIS FRIDAY, THE FRIDAY AFTER

I don't know what was in the water on opening night but it seems that everyone had a pretty good time (refer to party pix for more details). Next week we'll be putting on our best shoes and doing it all over again.

Think: heaps of dj's playing all the punk/pop/indie songs you want to dance to, not afraid to cross genres on occasion and ready to stoke that dancefloor fire. Guest dj's pop down all the time to inject some new vibes into the night so be ready for anything. Literally anything.

Think: cheap drinks flowing from the start to the end, and spilled on anything from your shoes, to your top, to the dancefloor, to definitely not the DJ booth cause then we get MURDERED

Think: Kids ready to party, kids going to party, kids partying and kids just taking a quick break from partying. New faces, old faces, no dickheads, but no rules. It's dark, it's dingy, it's sexy, it's safe.

Think: 2am lockout. Don't be late cause you'll be f'ed!

We're on the lookout for more promoters who want to get involved, make some dollars, make some scene points and make some temporary acquaintances in the bathroom stalls. Email exnuns@uptoourhips.com if that sounds like your kind of thing.

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.
