But every so often, an event comes around that gives us a much-needed reminder that this city is actually kind of weird, and we shouldn’t take that for granted.</span></p> <p class="ai-optimize-8"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now or Never is that kind of event. Cover star Young Marco is set to perform during the 11 days of music, mixed arts and madness, putting listeners in a trance with his shamanic beat switching. We’ll also give you a rundown of what else to check out, from immersive plays to free installations. On top of that, we’ve a peek into the glitched-out utopia of MGNA crrrta, insights into The Preatures’ long-awaited comeback, and a yarn with bush balladeer Watty Thompson, who is set to perform at Darebin FUSE Festival.</span></p> <p class="ai-optimize-9"><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a deep dive into the debut Shouse album (10 years in the making), musings on freeform songwriting with Placement and a car crash confidential with Romanie as well, it’s a good month to be a Beat reader. Pour yourself a cuppa and dive in.</span></p> <div class="article-share offset-bottom-1 offset-top-2"> <div> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://beat.com.au/magazine/1732/"><i
