To 'tag' something and classify it is graffiti is quite redundant when you see street art that provokes and is thoughtful. Well for three nights Stencil Graffiti Capital is hosting an exhibition of stencil graffiti in both Sydney and Melbourne. If your not heading to St. Jeromes, please take the time to visit this exhibition and realise that not all graffiti is pointless. It's not vandalism, it's freedom on speech.

As we all recommence (or start) Uni again, the party week (o'week) is all so close. With FREE gigs and food, why not make the extra effort to meet and greet, and have a ball. So far the lineup at the UNSW O'week includes Faker, Sparkadia, Starky, Butterfingers, Bluejuice and Centipede. More info on the bands are here. My pick throughout O'week would have to be Datarock & the Presets but that's at ANU and it was last night! Sorry for the late notice. But on the bright side, Sydney folk have one more chance (two, if you're also going to Good Vibrations) to see Datarock. Next week's gigs include (other than oweek gigs):
Tonight
Datarock, The Valentinos @ the Mandarin Club $28
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy @ @Newtown
23/02
The Mess Hall @ Annandale Hotel $15
24/02
The Bedroom Philosopher @ the Mandarin Club $8
British India @ Spectrum
Les Savy Fav, The Hold Steady & Thunderbirds Are Now! @ the Gaelic $39
