Fantastic Townsville band ‘The Middle East’
The Front, Lyneham. 10pm Friday night.

I heard them on Triple J this morning and it made my day so I had to find out who they were. Just so happens they’re playing here! Their music is just truly beautiful.

Have a listen.

The Front Cafe & Gallery. Wattle Pl, Lyneham (02) 6249 8453

Staying inside where it’s warm. Ordering food from local places that deliver.

And when the delivery dude knocks on the front door, greeting him in my homemade snugglie (http://blogs.crikey.com.au/crikey/2009/06/11/crikey-roadtest-the-snuggie-the-blanket-with-sleeves/). I cut holes in an old throw rug and “stitched” the sleeves with a hot glue gun.

Is it too late to talk that Walter Burley-Griffin fella into building this place 500m lower and closer to the coast?

Looking Glass, Futility and Mother Mars at the Basement this Saturday night (Cohen St, Belconnen).

Should be a big night, with a good mix of bands.

Will Canberra get another international band of this quality this year?

Probably not.
