SPLENDOUR IN THE BAR 2012

SATURDAY 4 AUGUST // TRANSIT BAR

Last year's SPLENDOUR IN THE BAR bore witness to some of the longest queues and most dazed and confused mornings-after Canberra has ever seen. It left the STRANGEWAYS DJS wondering: CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER? (Because legally, we can't get any louder). So this year, we're going GOOD, BETTER, BEST… OF SPLENDOUR!

SPLENDOUR IN THE BAR will not only deliver the best the 2012 SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS LINEUP has to offer: with your help we'll also create a 1HR MIDNIGHT MEGAMIX of the greatest music EVER PLAYED at SPLENDOUR to celebrate the blossoming of the festival's HOT, FORBIDDEN TWEEN-AGE FRUIT. And of course, we're also bringing:

A SYNTHETIC GRASS DANCEFLOOR! The incomparable local talent of RADAR and ARCHITECT DJs! And the awesome audio-visual spectacle that is the STRANGEWAYS DJS, under a canopy of STARS.

Not since the LAST DINOSAURS will you experience such EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY. There's some BIG SCARY GOSSIP going round that it MIIKE SNOW. Then again, it miike not. Either way, a LANA DEL REY of sunshine is coming into your world on SATURDAY 4 AUG! We heard KANYE doesn't care about (JACK) WHITE people, but he might just show up for a SMASHING (PUMPKINS) BLOC PARTY. If you put on your best AFGHAN WIGS and end up AT THE DRIVE IN, you'll not only be missing SPLENDOUR IN THE BAR – your FRIENDS will declare SHIHAD and shoot DZ DEATHRAYS at you!

Alternatively, if you bring your (MUD)HONEY down to the Transit Bar, you can (AZEALIA) BANK on a (ALISON) WONDERLAND of FUN with some BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! You might even have a DIRTY THREE-some – just remember to put double GLOVES on your FLUME before you DJANGO DJANGO (you know what we're talking about).

So come down to Transit Bar on SATURDAY 4 AUGUST and do a 360 ALLEY-OOP with your LADYHAWKE!

(And with all the luxurious synthetic grass, we promise you won't join the BLEEDING KNEES CLUB… you know… you won’t graze your knees on it… OK)

$10 // $7 if you 'check in' to the event or Transit Bar on Facebook on the night!

Post your all-time favourite SPLENDOUR SONGS on the event wall and they might just find their way into the mix!

Strangeways: The Afterlife Mixtape Launch

"My only fear of death is coming back reincarnated…"
-Tupac Shakur, “Only Fear Of Death” (1997)

MIDNIGHT "BACK-FROM-THE-DEAD" SET (feat. 100% DEAD ARTISTS) / FREE MIX CD ON ENTRY / CLASSIC HORROR SCENES ALL NIGHT / DISCOUNT ENTRY IF YOU DRESS AS YOUR FAVOURITE DEAD ROCKSTAR OR RAPPER!

CANBERRA, BE AFRAID! Like "THRILLER" zombies, the STRANGEWAYS DJS are clawing their way out of the MELBOURNE MAUSOLEUM to launch their latest musical abomination, THE "AFTERLIFE" MIXTAPE at the TRANSIT BAR on 11 MAY.

But dear reader, the worst is yet to come! Not only will they be forcing copies of this soul-destroying disc on unsuspecting patrons, the STRANGEWAYS trio are also, at this very moment, resurrecting a cavernous DEAD MUSICIAN HALL OF FAME to rival that of an ALL-HOLOGRAM COACHELLA (http://cdn.stereogum.com/files/2012/04/coachella-hologram-608x804.jpg)! SOMETIMES I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL!

If the very presence of NOTORIOUS B.I.G., MJ, NIRVANA, RAY CHARLES and AMY WINEHOUSE isn’t abominable enough, these AURAL APPARITIONS, set against scenes from classic horror movies like THE SHINING and THE RING, will be enough to make you HIT THE ROAD JACK and NEVER COME BACK! LOVE (and other drugs) WILL TEAR YOU APART!

$10 / $7 (if you dress up / check in on Facebook & show the door person!)

SEE YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE!
