What’s on this week in Perth?

March 12th, 2010

Holey moley moo its the middle of March already?

Give it a few more weeks and it’s Easter. Add a few more weeks on top of that and it’ll be the middle of May! I have no idea why that timeframe is relevant but I thought I might mention it for the people who are having birthdays in the middle of May. Like OMG you guysss, that’s totally random? Yeahno? (that was my weekly attempt at sounding like a cool 17 year old. Did I pass?).

This week is jam-packed with crazy events. I’m fairly sure Perth can retire the label of being boring. No really, just look at tonight’s highlights: Dinosaur Jr at the Rosemount (which I’ll be there – feel free to throw beer coasters at me if you see me), Massive Attack at King’s Park (wish I was there too. Can anyone here clone me?), The Power! Album Show at Villa (why didn’t I get tickets to this? Hello? Ticket fairy? Gimmie).

If you’re like me you might find life a lot easier to live, by covering your left leg in polyunsaturated margarine. If you’re not like me, you’ll probably want to go see Tom Jones – A Day on the Green on Sunday. OK, I lie. I totally love Tom Jones. Its so hot that he’s finally accepted the fact that he’s a million years old and stopped dying his hair. Nothing hotter than a man who accepts his inevitable death. Well, aside from a polyunsaturated left leg that is. On the topic of delicious things, have you participated in any of the Eat Drink Perth events? Do it. Its very tasty.

Jamie (resident EnjoyPerth! aircon installer, knee-capper and meteorologist) informs us that Saturday will be really really really hot. Which will be great for those Puppetry of the Penis guys, cos nobody wants cold performers. Sunday will be quite pleasant with a slight chance of rain. The rest of the week will cool down, bringing all us Sandgropers perfect weather to invite their favourite EnjoyPerth! editors over for a BBQ and a slab of delicious cider. HINT HINT.

Whatever you do this weekend, we hope you go out and Enjoy Perth!

- love, hugs and kisses, your EnjoyPerth! pal grum.

What’s on this week in Perth?

March 5th, 2010

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous? Votre grenouille a mangé mon dejeuner!

Ahh yes those French are crazy. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything, I just felt like saying that.

Hey, do you like beauty? Do you like beats? Thats the musical beats, not the edible beets. Although, if you like beets, chances are that you’ll like beats. Well, all the beauties and beats will be at Burswood with food and cocktails galore! Whats even better? Tod Johnston’s band Peace Love And All That Stuff will be there too! Totally Mintox yeh? Details at the EP! event page.

Feelin’ a bit peckish? Eat Drink Perth is on for the entire month of March. There are events happening all over the city, all to-do about food, so you’re excused if you end up putting on a few pounds this month. So check out the various events in Perth and if you’re extra crafty, you might find a page on EnjoyPerth! that will give you the chance to win a free double pass to a very special tour.

Psst, were you thinking about getting tickets to the Groovin’ the Moo festival in May? Might wanna speed up the decision making process. Their Maitland and Bendigo shows have sold out and the Bunbury show has had to be moved (sorry, moooved) because ticket sales have been fantastic. Silverchair and Vampire weekend will be there – must we say more? Oh, OK then… Ummm Empire of the Sun? Grinspoon? Tegan and Sara? I’ll be there? ’nuff said. Details at the EP! event page.

The other day Perth was host to the 140Media event. Representatives from various important Internet companies came from far and wide to remind us all that things like Twitter and Facebook are important to people. Really? Well, I’d better make sure you know that EnjoyPerth! has both a Twitter and a Facebook page! So uh, follow us?

Jamie (resident EnjoyPerth! car detailer, pet shop builder and meteorologist) tells us that the weather is going to be pleasant like a spring day. But it isn’t a spring day, so don’t get your hopes up birds and bees – your time to shine isn’t here yet.

Whatever you do this weekend, we hope you go out and Enjoy Perth!

- love, hugs and kisses, your EnjoyPerth! pal grum.

The Power! Album Show at Villa

March 4th, 2010

Those crazy kids at Boomtick have a little bit of a shindig happening on Friday the 12th of March called Power! – see that exclamation mark? It means you have to stand up and make a first with your hand every time you talk about the event Power! Housemeister will be there, along with Boys Noize who was recently at Future Music festival. I caught them on stage and I can promise you that this show will be of da hooooook (said in a high pitched voice). So make sure you go. Now. Go. *waves hands*

Actually, on the topic of Boomtick, next week they’re gonna announce a very big event happening on the Foundation Day long weekend. We here at EnjoyPerth! already know about it but we’ve been sworn to secrecy (actually, not really but we’re gonna beg for some free passes so we need to be in their good books) but what I can say is that it’ll be a lot of doof doof followed by a bunch of whistle whistle and then hihat hihat. Guessed what it is yet? No? Keep an eye on EP! as its gonna be a biggie!

Tickets available HERE!
Details on Power! can be fond on the EP! event page.
