Wow, what a night! Sure we’ve got decades of love for G-Shock and may be a little bias but the night couldn’t have been any less than perfect! So much delicious Asian street food from Tsuru, social lubricate from Kirin, indoor/outdoor venue at The Sheds for the perfect (last day of) spring night and of course the warm hospitality of Jo and the rest of the awesome team at G-Shock Australia.
We were also treated to a talk from Mr. G himself, Kikuo Ibe which included a demonstration of the renowned shock protection with him spectacularly pegging the DW5600 watch off his wrist at a solid sheet of metal! He also unveiled a pair of “yea, we’re just showing off now” all sapphire crystal outer GW5600’s, said to cost around $100,000 each and take about a month to make. Also on display was an Aussie exclusive collab with creative all rounder TA-KU with his take on the humble DW5600 square (DW5600TA-KU-1D) along side the current line up of 35th anniversary releases with the Big Bang Black and Golden Tornado series.
Coincidentally it was pretty much 2 years to the day since our last G-Shock event outing for the Sneaker Freaker collab release and so far judging from the infallible track record, we simple can not wait till the next one!

Rudebwoyz Relaunch 20/10/17
So about 10 years ago, it was a very sad day when Brisbane’s drum and bass institution, Rudebwoyz decided to retire from its years of monthly nights, leaving us and many others sad but our livers quite relieved. Fast forward a decade and with a blessing from the bass gods the event was relaunched and it was like it never left! ..all we had to do was walk a couple doors down to the new venue at Capulet 😉
Check out the highlights below!

Big Sound engulfed the valley once again and as always delivered everything from RnB and soul to indie rock and metal. With such a huge lineup over the three days its impossible to catch everyone but we managed to get to OKbadlands, Maribelle, Tia Gostelow and The Beautiful Monument.

New Found Glory smashed out a mega set on their 20 years of pop punk tour the other week. Can you believe it? 20 years! Anyone else feeling old? They covered full albums, Sticks and Stones and Catalyst, arguably some of their best work, along with a selection of songs off their latest offering, Makes Me Sick. Check out the bumper highlights below!

Couple weeks back we were lucky enough to catch the Hadron Collider exhibition at the Brisbane museum on its last stop around the world. For those that don’t know, its the biggest particle accelerator and biggest, most expensive science experiment in the world, ever. If that’s not awe inspiring/scary enough here are some more random facts that could change your mind! The exhibit included live talks, short videos, partial recreations of the facility and its components and even a section showing the onsite offices. Exciting and terrifying we could be on the brink of the “next big thing”!
