MINI MAnsIONS (USA)

Mini Mansions (USA - feat. Mikey from Queens of the Stone Age) with The Messengers (Single Launch) + guests. Mini Mansions are a three-piece psych pop band from Los Angeles who serve a mix of baroque-pop requiems, Motown eulogies, and Mersey-era break beats. Let's just say it's like The Zombies playing at ODB's funeral. They have toured in support for Them Crooked Vultures, Autloux, Spinnerette and The Dead Weather. Early reviews have made the analogy of 'The Beatles meets Elliott Smith'.

$2 POTS

When did all the '$2' shops' turn into '$2 And More' shops? Was there public outrage? Did it happen in a flash of lightening while our backs were turned, or was it so gradual we just never noticed the change? Whatever happened - inflation, greedy shopkeepers or a curse from the dollar Gods - it's never been okay. Lucky the folk at The Workers Club know the value of every buck. Every Monday, from 5pm, Carlton Draught will be flowing freely (well, for $2 a pot, anyway. Don't be stingy).
