Bio:
Emma Rowe is a singer/songwriter from Darwin. She has a unique talent for crafting quirky contemporary rock songs that combine lust, hope, frustration and joy in a surprisingly complicated but completely relatable style.

Her compositions ascend from measured, spacious moody rock to
lofty pop melodies and catchy choruses. But Emma’s undeniable strength is her vocals. They give a sense of a bird in flight – falling and climbing with intricacies, grace and control. Her voice is an auditory joy and it’s incredibly distinctive from the crowd.

Growing up in tropical Darwin in the Northern Territory, Emma has a
down-to-earth approachability when she performs live. Whether she is
playing solo or with her band you can connect with Emma in earnest.
She has no fear of being vulnerable and is always fully committed to
her performance – it is refreshing and authentic.

Emma has supported the likes of Big
Scary, Frank Turner, Jebediah and Christine Anu. She has also played
at major events including the BASSINTHEGRASS Festival, Darwin Blues Festival, Royal Darwin and Adelaide Show and Carols By Candlelight Darwin.

Films on Forests and struggles against extractavism in Ecuador, Australia & Papua + Info share and meet-up.

Meet with members of the Rainforest Action Group and find out more about what is happening with Australian mining companies' dirty business in Ecuador.

Selection of short films about Ecuador, Papua and Australia.
More details to be posted soon.

Drop in any time 2- 6pm. Bar 303, 303 High St, Northcote.
By donation.

Proceeds go to the Legal campaign for the A'i Cofan people currently fighting to keep their land free of mining.

https://chuffed.org/project/legal-campaign-for-the-ai-cofan-people-of-ecuador

Since 2018, the Ecuadorian government has granted more than 52 mining concessions without consultation in the headwaters of the Aguarico, Cofanes and Chingual Rivers, affecting more than 30,000 hectares of primary forest. Most of these concessions are within the boundaries of the Cayambe-Coca National Park and home to the ancestral A’i Cofan people of Sinangoe.

This area is considered to be one of the most biodiverse region in Ecuador, with a high rate of endemism. It contains more than 650 species of birds, 50 species of mammals, more than 100 species of reptiles and amphibians, and 3,725 species of plants.

Despite its direct impact on the community, the rivers, the land and the Cofan way of life, the new mining claims were granted without any free, prior and informed consultation with Sinangoe. Miners have also been operating without environmental licenses or water permits and have been illegally mining outside of the concessions.

These actions are in direct conflict with the Ecuadorian Constitution which enshrines the Rights of Nature, and makes prior consultation mandatory when carrying out a project or intervention that directly affects an indigenous or tribal people (Article 6 of ILO Convention 169).

Social Skills, TBW, The Devours and Lemon Daze are all heading to Northcote this October, for an evening of punk rock at Bar 303. Bring your friends, families, and tinder dates, and come enjoy some of Melbourne's fine local talent (and beers) with us!!

“It's like a brain bath, because you kind of follow, kind of get it, but you don't know where it's going.
Theirs is a channel of insightful chaos.
Listening to the Montgomery brothers, that is.
They generate the kind of live music environment where you turn to your friend and delightedly just nod.” - Danny Ross

Featuring Raph.a.L with supports from Innaminka + Crooked Fingers!!!

************************************************************************

Raph.a.L is a solo electronic artist from Melbourne, Australia. Blending a myriad of styles to produce catchy, sad-boy anthems :(
With synth heavy grooves and crooning vocals Raph.a.L is sure to hook you in and have your head boppin’

Inaminka is an Australian Psych-Pop band formed by Music School friends Alanna Oliver (vocals, songwriter), Callan Martin (Guitar, Synth), Jean Hooker (Bass) with Sam Raymond (Drums) and Molly Krausgrill (Keys). What began as Oliver’s project to enter the realm of Psych-Rock has slowly melted into a child-like melodic pop punch, with dashes of RnB.

Crooked Fingers are a four piece band born and raised in a lounge room in Preston. We like to say we're a psychedelic band blending jazz, soul and surf. If you mix Radiohead, Beach House and Marlon Williams you'd get something weird, and that's us.
Our humble creations are composed with care and offer insight into delight and warm fuzzy feelings.
check out our songs on soundcloud! they're new and they're raw! www.soundcloud.com/crooked_fingers

Notey likes single frequencies. Noisy likes as many as possible, but the perfect note and noise have always eluded them. So they visit a wise chap called Knowsey to try to work it out, but soon find out that music physics is a series of near misses, shifting sands and slippery slopes: Nature's cheeky like that!

An aural cerebral adventure across the unstable landscape of the science of sound. Deconstructing the nuts and bolts of music is at once joyful and terrifying. Imagine a mongrel mix of the Goons, Jacob Collier and Julius Sumner Miller.

While we've performed a few of the songs over the years, this is will be the first showing of the full shebang. Just Ky and me, playing 7 characters and some of the most complex arrangements and looping we've attempted. Being a first public run and it being a somewhat challenging show (though fun too!), please only bring people who'll be able to focus for the full 75 minutes. Yes, despite what you might assume from the title, it's not a kids' show, although I reckon older kids will get it and even dig it!

AMY HAS A NEW DRESS THAT WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY …FOREVER…

We may be living in a golden age of television series, but nothing compares to the glory of a classic TV movie, a format that allowed for high strangeness and gave many faded or eclipsed stars a chance to have some fun.

In 1990, Tobe Hooper presented the world with I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT, & an all star cast featuring Mädchen Amick (TWIN PEAKS new & old, SLEEPWALKERS, TRAPPED IN PARADISE), Anthony Perkins (PSYCHO, CATCHC 22, PRETTY POSION, CRIMES OF PASSION), Dee Wallace (THE HOWLING, E.T., THE HILLS HAVE EYES, THE FRIGHTENERS), and R. Lee Emery (FULL METAL JACKET, TOY STORY 1-3 MAN OF THE HOUSE), and based upon a story by Cornell Woolrich (REAR WINDOW, THE BRIDE WORE BLACK, THE LEOPARD MAN).

An ancient Aztec tomb has been opened, and found within is a sacrificial robe, psychically stained by endless blood rituals! Fortunately, Mädchen Amick is on-hand to turn that old hand-me-down into a fabulous little red dress. Mayhem ensues because all the boys and girls just want to have fun - fun inflected by the craven evil of this cursed fashion! But fear not, for Anthony Perkins is on the case, & he simply MUST have the dress...for academic purposes of course...

With enough subtext to write a thousand uni essays, I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT is equally entertaining as it is chilling, in a GOOSEBUMPS For Grownups kind of way.
Hooper may never escaped from the shadow of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, but that didn't stop him from creating one of the most diverse filmographies of any of the American horror masters of the Vietnam era. His early works indicate a highly creative and original filmmaker with as much skill in Pop Art remixing as Joe Dante and more raw talent than is often acknowledged. His precision visions of nightmare were always buoyed by an eclectic and degenerate sense of humour that could slice a tomato with ease, and regularly cut to the core of the American Dream. His later works relegated him to "lesser" formats, being abandoned to TV & 'Straight to Video', and these works are ripe for reappraisal (check out SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION if you are wondering what the Nuclear Family film version of David Lynch would be). Now we present a rare opportunity to view I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT, a long lost camp classic that tips the genre on its head & offers up a smorgasbord of sexual weirdness while riding (very) high on the fumes of Fashion-able cinema.

We will be screening from an original VHS release of the film.
The film will commence at 7:30pm. Arrive early for couch seating.
Gold coin donation for entry.

CineCult303 is a not-for-profit film night dedicated to keeping the weird alive. Gold coin donation for entry. All proceeds will be donated to local arts organisations to keep the weird growing.

RAMEN + Exotic Snake (Ambient/electronic project by Erroll) will be opening the night.

RAMEN celebrates the optimism of mid 70's funk with a minimalist approach to composition and improvisation. Listeners can expect to hear an exploration of colour and tessellated groove. 

After having recently studied with composer Nik Bärtsch in Switzerland, band-leader Lackmann returns to Melbourne with fresh compositions in a new formation of the group.

The following performance celebrates the launch of their newly released EP, featuring a night of all original compositions and high-level musicianship from Melbourne’s emerging jazz musicians. 

Limited hard copies will be available to purchase on the night, however the EP is also available for download on BandCamp.
