Kirin J Callinan + Magic Eye + Widgets Gadgets



Thursday 29th July
9pm - late 

Join us once more, on a not so perilous journey into the depths of a misty audio jungle, soar through a cosmic array of laser lit skies and come to settle into a totally loving vibe to witness the raddest of the rad perform at iguana bar this thursday eve.

Performing this week we have Kirin J Callinan - described as -
 "A strikingly distinguished performer, Callinan traipses the stage like an amphetamine addled outlaw, wrenching venomous sandpaper fuzz from his guitar.With wrist pressed firmly to whammy bar, Callinan conjured panoramic visons of deceased suburbs, overgrown vacant lots and asphalt playgrounds. That peculiarly Australian, menacing sense of eternal space was perfectly rendered in his songs, and it’s these nigh mystical figures that keep the scene alive... Callinan is stunningly accomplished, potentially important. When he finally loops a guitar riff and proceeds to accompany it on a drum kit, he’s won over everyone in the audience. And you know, as good as Mercy Arms may be, Callinan ought to be winning hearts and minds by himself, because he is stunning and original."

Joining him is the solo chaotic/electronic/synthesised/rare beast of talent otherwise known as MAGIC EYE - promising a wild barrage of improvised synth sounds never before conceived.
here is a short but sweet interview with the young man in question

I DREAM IN TRANSIT + SOONERS + LYYAR + CHUMBUCKET (LAST SHOW!)


Date : August 12th
Time : 8pm
Location : Iguana Bar, Kellett St Kings Cross
Cost : $10

An evening of noise, dream pop, folk, grunge and pretty much anything in between... We've worked for months putting together a lineup that defies predictability and categorizing. In the intimate context of Iguana Bar, we present the rawest and most intimate setting to listen.
No distractions. We're happy to showcase bands that straddle the lines between experimental and pop, vying for something different with each performance. This will be the sole Sydney show for Melbournians - I dream in transit, Sydney's sooners preparing for their 7" release with locals Lyaar and Chumbucket supporting. The collective have spent months trying to get this lineup together, and we can guarantee it will be a one off, with chumbucket playing their last ever show.

*** Coochie Coo***

Disco and soul shaking! 
Past Dj's included:
