Just a little reminder that this Friday the 18th Trent’s first ever solo show is on in
Mona Vale. It kicks off at 6pm and wraps up around 9pm.

All the pieces will be up for sale and all of them are one-off works. Hope to you can
come have a look and enjoy the night.

Alternatively if its too hard to come on the Friday, He also has a joint show on Thursday
17th in Darlinghurst. For some this may be a better option?

Lifelounge and Boag’s are supporting 6 emerging photographers in a joint show, with the
project eventually producing a special edition book/magazine.

It should be pretty interesting given the diverse range of subjects and styles on show.

Get to one of them at least!

Steve sent through five covers for us to choose, all of which were so fucken dope it took some serious deliberation to pick one. Here is one we didn’t choose.

All the way from Bali, Steve Gorrow does Art for Grapevine.

Plus all the usual crass shite we like to amuse ourselves (and you) with.

Get amongst it end of next week.

Its been a few years since i first heard the early 90’s hip hop sound of Time Machine. To my horrid dismay i heard they split up after only 2 albums! so i gave up the search for new albums …..until now.

New (ish) Album: Time Machine – Life is Expensive

Psych-rock guru Wayne Coyne and band return upon the release of The Flaming Lip’s new album, Embryonic. Most of the groups 12th studio album sounds like chilled-out echoes of early Miles Davis jazz, with distorted funk grooves meshing effortlessly with soft, spacey electronics. Nearing the album’s closure, a theme emerges, which I think has something to do with keying into the cosmos by abandoning control. Now I could be wrong (it might just be the acid talking) but I think i’m close.

Thanks to the good people at Warner Music, we have a bunch of copies to give-away. The first three people to email stuff@grapevinemagazine.com.au, with EMBRYONIC in the subject box, will win themselves a slice of aural (aural … not oral) pleasure. Get cracking now, I know how much you all masturbate over free product.
