Come to Gallery On Waymouth for a drink to celebrate the opening of 'She's on sale' Meaghan Coles, emerging oil painter combines traditional techniques with experimental enamel, pen and resin to create a surface intrigued by layers. Taking beauty symbols from popular imagery she re-creates these seductive, eye-catching beauties into unique works of art. The viewer is asked how these faces function when they are taken out of the environment of mass-production and transferred into a fine art context.

The highlight of the night however was “Move Bitch” originally by Ludicrous, which the group turned into a ridiculously saccharine-sweet rendition of his ode to running over his baby mama, putting a smile on just about every face. If you’re not a jazz fan, figuring out what the cover song actually is can be half the fun...

The return of the UK’s Slow Club to Australia in February 2012 is without doubt set to be one of the musical highlights of the summer. Rebecca Taylor and Charles Watson have been friends and partners in rock for almost ten year. Their first full-length album Yeah, So was a musical gem with Pitchfork describing how the “Sheffield boy-girl duo nail precious, vulnerable feelings over the course of their sweet (but not twee or saccharine) indie pop debut”. This year, Slow Club released Paradise an album both swooning and raucous – a take on doo-wop with a frazzled, fragile representation of soul inspired rock. Paradise is certainly a product of a band whose members divide their obsessions between Destiny’s Child and Noise-pop. And Slow Club live is as much of a delight as is Slow Club on record. We implore you, do not miss Slow Club when they return to Australia this summer.
