I just looked at our weekend’s entertainment and thought I’d better let you all know what a cool line-up we have.
Tonight, Christchurch’s most intoxicated support band – Von Klap – will be playing before Faster Pussycat Kill Kill who are down from Wellington and well worth a look.
Then tomorrow night we have Nightchoir down from [...]

When we set up Goodbye Blue Monday, we did so with the intention of doing things differently. This means you won’t see the Tui skanks or the Export Gold fire engine down here. Instead, we wanted to create a place where debate took place and great things were created. This week we had two events [...]

Tonight (Friday) at 1.00am, we will be holding auditions for members of our dance troupe Psychedelic Arse Birth. Rosie, Aine, Aoife and I have been practicing for about a month now and have created a number of awesome moves including the Aggressive Sunshine and the Finger Fling.
The group will be along the lines of the [...]

All you hipsters and quiff-sporting types. Don’t forget our Smiths night tomorrow (Saturday) night. The last one was so full that some people had to stand out in the rain looking (appropriately) sad. So make sure you get in early to get a seat.

A massive weekend in the Christchurch party calendar with Lesbo Mould on Friday and the Eastern on Saturday.
Friday’s metal crowd clocked in a solid night of bourbon, BO and long, brown hair. These dudes must have to keep their hair tied up all week, because they let loose when they bring it out, flicking sweat [...]

The Pixies played Christchurch last night and the atmosphere in the city was electric. It filled me full of hope that good people will support good things and interesting bands will decide to play here.
We were fucking packed for Sleepy Age and Rackets. Sorry to everyone that had to wait to get a drink and [...]

Another sold-out Dr. Sketchy’s last night with an awesome 1950s science fiction theme. This time around we got to see boobs, which was a real treat, but that’s all I’m going to say about that as after my last Dr. Sketchy’s posting my mother called me a “misogynist” can you believe?
The enormous paper mache alien [...]

Another excellent poster from Nick White… Voted among the top three he has done.

We searched long and hard and finally found a night when no good bands are playing anywhere else in Christchurch… This Friday DJs Tony Dizzle and Skew Whiff will play nothing but 7″ records all night. You should all come along to this as it is the best event happening in town this Friday.
I was [...]

We all know that Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, but working in a bar you get hit with all sorts of crackpot philosophy. It seems after 34 pints everyone knows the meaning of life, it’s just that they’ve forgotten it by the time they wake up in the morning.
So, I decided that a [...]
