The sheer amount of good stuff packed into this month is making our heads spin.
I mean, honestly, we’re spoilt for choice! From Ability Fest to Mode with everything in between, the city is raring to go and we’re along for the wild ride.
Our cover stars this month are The Huxleys who are making sports sparkle with The Winner Takes It All. Part arts happening, part free party, the event perfectly embodies the freaky, fun and fabulous essence of Melbourne Fringe.
Inside the mag, Southeast London collective Steam Down unpacks Afro-Infinitism ahead of their Melbourne Jazz Festival debut and viral country star Cooper Alan gives us a clue to why cowboy culture is kicking off before hitting the stage at Ridin’ Hearts.
What else? Cong Josie is using motorbikes to reconnect with his childhood. Cub Sport is embracing the bright side of being queer. Fat Dog is haggard and hungover in some park – that’ll be us in Edinburgh Gardens soon enough.
Plus, Xani examines the human body through quadrophonic sound and BARKAA encourages the kids to get out there and rap. If you don’t have at least one gig booked into your calendar this month, you’re doing it wrong, so read on and keep up!
