How fantastic was the Valley Fiesta this year?!
It was a return to the feel of the early Fiesta's,
with a totally relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Congratulations to this year's new co-ordinator
Ciel Fuller who did an amazing job on the programme.
Thanks Ciel!
We've had so much packed in to our days that
it's been a bit of a struggle to keep up with everything
going on.

with his fabulous new collection.
This is another installment from his memorable show and the most outstanding,
international collection shown at Australian Fashion Week earlier this year.

Fred Perry
100 years
This year marks the anniversary of the birth of Frederick John Perry.
Not only was Fred a demon on the court and a devil with the ladies,
but he managed to launch a brand that has amassed such passionate
support and which crosses various genres of sport, music and fashion.
We currently have some of the Limited Edition 100 year polos (pictured)
in stock, as well as a lovely selection of other fine Fred Perry garments.
Thank you to the 500+ that came to our Fred Perry 100 Years party at
The Zoo on Thursday night.
I managed to play a few rounds of table tennis before being overcome
by heat exhaustion.
These photos are from the wonderful team at Peny Lane who are on the ground
at every event worth being at in this town!

The Zoo, Vodka O, Redbull, Bats, Fourthousand,The Bands (I Heart Hiroshima, Last Dinosaurs,
Comic Sans), The DJ's (Polar Bear, Schleke, Yout Dem, Potato Masta).
Thank you also to our friend Mike from the Mustang Bar for loaning us
his brand new table-tennis table and also to Brad from Prime for his
support and the super Fred Perry giveaways.

the 30 year anniversary of UK Ska legends The Specials, the two have combined
ideas and released this limited edition collection.

The party of the moment...
Our friends at Lick It are celebrating their 3rd Birthday
this Friday night and they have certainly blazed a trail
in their time.
You know me - I like ground breakers and innovators
and Lick It Media have been instrumental in changing
the face of the Brisbane music and social scene by
bringing some incredible international acts here first, including The Cool Kids,
Dan Deacon, Metronomy, Crystal Castles, The Death Set, A-Trak
and The Bloody Beetroots!
They have also bought other fantastic Australian artists to Brisbane first
like Mercy Arms, Ghost Wood, Bag Raiders and Tame Impala.
So, show your thanks and support by donning a Double Denim outfit
to the Empire this Friday night.
Here's a little inspiration if you're not quite feeling it yet...
