Hi Everyone!
We saw iconic Australian band, The Church play at The Zoo last
Saturday night.
Steve Kilbey and Marty Wilson-Piper dropped in to
The Outpost for a visit as did all the member of Songs
and a few of the guys picked up an Outpost/Pass Port colab
tee.
Steve is still enigmatic and handsome.
They played so well and sounded fantastic - a loud and
long show.
They played four songs from Blurred Crusade that I love,
but disappointed us a little by not playing their crowd favourites
Almost With You or Unguarded Moment.
These videos might refresh your memory...
Matt caught the last part of Songs at The Empire
and he said that they were fantastic as usual,
but I had to go home.
It was just too hot and too crazy out there!
If you missed the QUT Graduate shows or maybe you would like
to see them again, they now have the videos up on youtube.
My pick? Lauren Clark ;)
Take a peek...
The French Kissers
Here is another film that I can't wait to see.

hit in Europe already with over one million admissions
in just eight weeks!
Our heroes at fourthousand.com are hosting a special preview of this film.

Six-Scents, New York
This is the second installation for this interesting fragrance
concept which combines contemporary fashion designers with
contemporary fragrance makers.
Each fragrance is again beautifully boxed and numbered .
Every box also contains a book on the project with
a story on each fragrance which is still incredibly
limited to only 2000 bottles of each for the world.
This year, each fragrance also comes with a special
video by avant garde film maker and artist Marco Branbilla
which is inspired by the six senses.
It explores the way you might remember thoughts and
feelings associated with the experience of each fragrance and
is called Flashback.
The six fragrances are...
