OTHER STUFFGETTIN' IGGY WITH IT HELLO IAN! oh, woops - I misread my notes, it's Halloween bitchaz! So get on board with Mofo stalwarts (and I do mean warts!) Meat Bikini - as they play at Shenanigans with a ton of other bands for Halloween - Sunday 30th October from 1pm. To top it off that night will be the Metallica cover band Damage Inc. Will they play The Unforgiven Part 2? Do they even dare?? There's only one way to find out... T3 - IT BE BACK Just like all good trilogies part 2 is always better than part 1 (well except for the Matrix, I mean c'mawwn! what the hell was that???) Anyway, T3 - Talks Tunes Tapas is on again Friday 10th June. Art music and good times come together to boost some energy into Cairns' CBD. THE FILLIP ROCKIN MOFO GRAFFS-A-HOY-HOY Option, Miks, Rek, Mint and Lisp turn our stank-ass wall into a work of art. AN ALL TIME LOW If you missed out on the Tropical Low sampler CD Volume 1, then your life will never be fully complete. But this might make up for it slightly - Volume 2 is now available in store! It features some of the best original talent from North Queensland and begs the question "how the hell can Adam Lambert get a record contract while these nine artists are still hangin' in the wind?" WASKALLY WABBITS They say the camera adds 10 pounds... is that why Mofo looks so phat in this filmclip? Man, I even hurt myself writing that, I apologise. Anyhooow, see if you can spot some familiar faces in Raskal's vid for their song "All I Want". QUE VIVA MOFO Some fully dope-ass deckchairs with artists designed prints are now available. |
