SHAKE IT (LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE!) | SAT 16 NOV | ZIERHOLZ @ UC




UC Live! & STRANGEWAYS DJS present... SHAKE IT (like a polaroid picture!) - a celebration of Canberra's nightlife in the 2000s!

You're young and you're in post-millennium Canberra. You turn 18. For a while, going out here means little more than Mooseheads and a few lonely (if talented) buskers.

But then, slowly - through friends, or perhaps an older brother or sister - you discover Canberra's true night life: a thriving scene of music lovers, DJs and promoters running big nights in small spaces. Together you run the gauntlet of musical trends, breakups, venue closures and hangovers.

Friends: you may have grown a little since then (our beloved hometown is 100 this year, after all), but SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER is your chance to relive every dancefloor memory with the cream of Canberra's DJ nights of the noughties!

DJs LITHIUM JAY and LITHIUM MICHAEL, from Canberra's most legendary alternative night, will return to the decks for the first time since TOAST closed. Think BLUR meets THE PRODIGY… POP WILL EAT ITSELF!

Flying the flag for Canberra's hardest working dance night, original PANG! resident OFFTAPIA will drop a set of premium 2000S ELECTRO, recalling the glory days of LOT 33.

Where would any beats night in Canberra be without UG BEATS? Simply the best at keepin' it one hunned, founder ALISTAIR ERSKINE will be cutting ELECTIC HIP HOP TINGS & TEMPOS.

REV may have had the best funeral ever… but founder ALEXISALEX and long time resident RADAR are gonna revive that indie renaissance with back to back, post-Y2K INDIE JAMS!

Ambitious, impulsive and extremely DIY… STRANGEWAYS DJS will roll deep and close out with a set of EXCLUSIVE, NEXT-LEVEL MASHUPS and VIP bassy classics.

This is your hot-blooded youth in one night! Bring your friends: one of these DJs was probably shakin' it in the background when you met ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

$5 entry. ZIERHOLZ @ UC.

SPLENDOUR IN THE BAR 2013



What's that DRAPHT you can feel blowing across the (FRANK) OCEAN, over the WAVVES of Lake Burley Griffin and into THE NATIONAL Captial? Why, it's the return of the incomparable SPLENDOUR IN THE BAR!

In this, its fifth year, of course you'll see the return of the famous SYNTHETIC GRASS DANCEFLOOR… but we've delved deeper into the world OF MONSTERS AND MEN (and BOYS & BEARS) than ever before to bring you a true POLYPHONIC SPREE: it's A SPLENDOUR MINI FESTIVAL (from 8pm)! Featuring COLD WAR (KIDS) defectors STRANGEWYS + the JUNGLE GIANTS of Canberra: #GRLPWR, JK ROLLIN', RADAR, BAMBII, ARCHITECT DJS, NEONBOMBS and PELVIC.

Come midnight, STRANGEWAYS DJS will drop a SERIES OF MINI-SETS from the top SPLENDOUR HEADLINERS… that's HALF AN HOUR OF (PORTUGAL) THE MAN himself, FRANK OCEAN - plus the best of the rest: PASSION PIT, JAMES BLAKE, PRESETS, FLUME (and whatsonot…).

So don't be a (CHET) FAKER and practise the ART OF SLEEPING: (YOLANDA) BE COOL and use your FLIGHT FACILITIES to FLUME up to the TRANSIT BAR on 3 AUGUST! YOU AM I will have fun together, dancing to EVERYTHING EVERYTHING you've ever heard on TV or ON THE RADIO in a BABYSHAMBOLIC PASSION PIT! Watch out for in flying LITTLE GREEN CARS, though: MATT CORBY is gonna be AIRBOURNE and on the THE GROWL and we hear he's a real DAUGHTER FIDLAR! (ladies… watch your DEAP VALLY … he's VIOLENT (SOHO): last time he had a TWINSY he drew (SURFER) BLOOD and gave PVT to all the VILLAGERS).

But where's the (FAT FREDDY'S) DROP?? With YEEZUS off studying ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI, come 2:00am, $TRNGWY$ will drop the vowels, the mollys and an (ALISON) WONDERLAND of future bass bombs. Wade into the UNKNOWN (MORTAL ORCHESTRA)!

See you all before 10pm for $10 ENTRY, or $15 after 10 (unless you're a MUMFORD with SONS, in which case there's a family discount).

STRANGEWAYS VS. THE INTERNET ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


STRANGEWAYS VS. THE INTERNET ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*Midnight tribute to MUSIC'S GREATEST INTERNET ARTISTS*
*DJ sets STREAMED LIVE over CHAT ROULETTE!*
*#GRLPWR glitter table and glowsticks (free!)*
*Dress code: SEAPUNK!*

CANBERRA: We've been thinkin' 'bout you. Do you think about us, still? We thought maybe you'd ditched us, a few mistakes ago, for some NEW OLD SPICE. But STRANGEWAYS IS COMING. WE COMIN' FOR YOU. And WE GON' FIND YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT! We're back at Transit Bar for 2013. And we're dedicating our set to those MUSICIANS and MEMES delivered to us by the wondrous connective POWER OF THE INTERNETS. Dive deep into the FRANK OCEAN with CARLY RAE to swim with the (S)KRILLEX. You might even SEAPUNKS like AZEALIA B and ANTOINE D! Tip: if Charlie bites your finger, you definitely shouldn't show him your FLUME. It's probably a bit GRIMESy anyway.

Local mistresses #GRLPWR are gonna administer the FREE GLITTER FACE PAINTING (plus some trill tunes), RADAR will drop a crate full of mp3s, and did we mention we're streaming it all LIVE over CHAT ROULETTE? We have seen the the FUTURE... and it is ODD.

So BOW DOWN, BITCHES – you GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY 12 APRIL! Turn up, BALL HARD, RUN THE TRAP, do the HARLEM SHAKE, and let us DROP THE BASS... 'cause ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US. (THANK YOU, BASEDGOD.)

$10 entry. COME EARLY TO AVOID A BATTLE OF KRUGER IN THE LINE! Last time RYAN GOSLING had to save GIRL from getting hit by a car, TOM CRUISE KILLED OPRAH – and guess how many people were waiting outside! Yep. It was OVER NINE THOUSANDDDDDDDDDD
