The Workman’s Club
January 6th

Spies Seasonal Soirée - In Review
~Spies Seasonal Soiree~
Spies / Squarehead / Girl Band
Walking into the Grand Social last wednesday night for the “Spies Seasonal Soiree” felt something more like walking into that scene from “Total Recall”, you know, the bit on Mars where they turn off the oxygen and everyone looks like they’re melting?

Yet - We Cut Corners
you turned my pages like a children’s book
knocked me over with your dashing looks
whispered nothings to make me laugh
you had me reaching beyond my grasp
but what the use in crying honey ?
all you get is wet -
whats the use in crying honey ?
it hasnt helped us yet -
i wrote a novel to get us through
but every paragraph referred to you
i thought the epilouge would never...

Hard Working Class Heroics
thursday of HWCH 2011 in review.
*sounds of system breakdown*
a rollicking show that, aesthetically, had a somewhat 90’s grunge feel, despite the band’s dance music billing. high energy gesticulations and head-banging to the electro-feuled beats made for a fantastically entertaining experience, save for their early billing which meant that the crowd was possibly not quite ready to...
