Hi Everyone,
We saw Brisbane band Feathers play
a great show at The Zoo last night.
You may remember them from our Chloe Sevigny Australian Launch
Party, when the girls played inside the store.
Here's what they are up to at the moment -
There has been so much talk about another Brisbane iconic
building biting the dust, The Regent, as developers seem keen
to wipe out any sense of history and character that this young
city has built in it's 150 years.
Thank goodness that there are still some passionate people
out there and I'm referring to the old Dendy Cinemas on
George Street.
They sat idle briefly but are back in business, under the unusual
title of Tribal Theatres.
Naturally, they are mostly showing films, but I went there a couple
of weeks ago when they hosted a live music night featuring,
Feathers, Heathen Skulls and an interesting experimental
sounds two piece with Brian Chase (Yeah, Yeah Yeahs) and
Seth Misterka.
It was definitely a New York moment!
Here is a piece that they did at The Cakeshop a few years ago -
This week, I went back to the Tribal to see Banksy's first film,
Exit Through the Giftshop, which was a fascinating
documentary following cult street artists including Banksy himself,
Andre and Space Invader...and more...
I'm not giving any more away.
Just go and see it!
Also did the obligatory girl group bonding and saw
SATC 2 this week.
Ridiculous fantasy with inappropriate costuming - sure.
Uncomfortable, cringy moments including (unnecessary) political and
social messages - yep, sure.
But I enjoyed the escape regardless and would go to see it again.
Carrie's outfits were the pick of the "interesting" assortment and
I loved her guipure lace crown for Stanford's wedding and
her ridiculous raffia hat - for boarding the plane?!

Marcus Oakley's board has arrived for the show!
Matt contemplates the parcel
You may have bought his book from The Outpost already?
Marcus Oakley is a London based artist and in a
amazing twist, he has recently done some graphics for
Lover's "Untitled" collection which will release here
for our Spring/Summer later this year.
You can't help good taste.
On Saturday, we're off for our annual
day at the races.
I'm hoping for a Marx Brothers kind of day.
This weather is AMAZING for dressing up.
Hope you enjoy the (long) weekend and see you
soon.
