January CD Reviews: The XX, Soundtracks and the ’80s

12inch Dance: 80’s Australian Pop Various Artists ★ ★ ★ ★ These massive 3 CD compilation albums of twelve inch versions of classic pop songs of the ‘80s are a lot of fun to listen to. Nowadays tunes often get multiple remixes but back in the ‘80s often there’d just be one  extended version, and they’re […]

So Shall Alice: The Brisbane

So Shall Alice: The Brisbane

I am not usually a fan of big pubs, I like my bars small and intimate. Every now and again, though, a pub reigns supreme. This pub is the Brisbane Hotel. Although it’s been around forever, The Brisbane has had more than one face. It used to be a tradie pub. Some years ago it […]

Is the death of the Beaufort Street Festival a good thing?

Is the death of the Beaufort Street Festival a good thing?

  Beaufort Street Festival just announced the cancellation of the festival. I can already hear people screaming about how their favourite day of the year to walk the streets and get drunk in the sunshine has been taken away from them. In fairness, that’s also one of the main reasons I love Beaufort Street Festival. […]

Review: Briefs

Review: Briefs

Briefs | The West Australian Speigeltent | Until Sat 14 Feb |  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★  When you’ve heard lots about a show, it’s hard not to get to a performance and have lots of pre-conceived ideas, whether they are good or bad.

Alice Mod finds Mount Lawley’s hidden gem

Alice Mod finds Mount Lawley’s hidden gem

Defectors is Mount Lawley’s Hidden Gem. Different to my thinking, it’s not one of the strip’s most well know venues, and while many people are aware of it, it seems it is a hidden institution. When you find Defectors (it’s above the Scoto, entrance from Beaufort St) you are greeted by an expansive lounge area that […]

Dear Craig David, Since 1999, when I was ten (and would have first wanted to write to you). you have been around. For years you gave me songs to dance and sing to, a want to have a spa in my house and a healthy appreciation for segregating different tasks to different days. Sadly, year […]

So Shall Alice: Mechanic’s Institute

Cocktail bars are a staple of my life. They give me  laughter, smiles, shelter from the sun, wind and rain, a home away from home and some goddamn awesome drinks. Perth has a great array of choices and one that sits very close to my heart is a little rooftop bar in the heart of […]

So Shall Alice: The Old Laundry

The Old Laundry is the newest edition to the buzzing Angove St strip in north Perth. The strip itself has an atmosphere that is reminiscent of Beaufort St when the focus was coffee rather than bars, and The Old Laundry fits in perfectly. The venue itself was a laundry 50 or 60 years ago and the old industrial boiler […]
