With a weekend off from the footy before finals start, there’s always the salvation of top-tier entertainment to soften the blow. Whether it be theatre, a good old gig or even a live podcast, there’s a reason for everyone to get out and brave the elements this week, with these events and many more available to view in Perth’s premiere Event Guide. Chuck us a line at guide@xpressmag.com.au to have your event featured.
1. Flight Facilities
Ever since storming onto the scene with Hottest 100 hit Crave You in 2010, Flight Facilities have made a name for themselves as one of the best live Australian electronic acts out there. They are on the road in celebration of latest track All Your Love, and play at the Fremantle Arts Centre this Saturday with The Kite String Tangle in tow.
2. No Mono
The brainchild of Big Scary/#1 Dads’ Tom Iansek and good friend Tom Snowdon (formerly of Lowlakes), No Mono is an experimental electronic project that’s getting as many rave reviews as their previous works (that is to say, many). The pair take to the stage at Jack Rabbit Slim’s on Saturday night with special guest Jeffe.
3. Stuff You Should Know
Stuff You Should Know podcast has been running for over 10 years and has developed a gargantuan fan base as a result of their hilarious yet informative shows. Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant are heading to the Astor Theatre this weekend and guarantee an evening to be remembered.
4. Legally Blonde
The 2001 smash-hit we all know and love is playing at the Regal Theatre until the end of this weekend. With some of Australia’s most talented actors involved including Lynne McGranger, John O’Hara and Jamie Mercanti, you can’t deny the calibre of this show.
5. Local launches
Releases being celebrated around Perth this week include Odin Malchik‘s single launch at The Bird, Shangrila‘s EP launch at Amplifier Bar, Kat Wilson Trio‘s single launch at the Rosemount Hotel, Peppermint Showers‘ single launch at The Bird and Soft West‘s album launch at the Ellington Jazz Club. Head down to see what these local legends have to offer and to support the special guests performing alongside them.
