The Trivs Farewell Tour...




Tonight we attended The Trivs Farewell Tour, of One Location - otherwise known as a 'gig.' The boys are heading overseas to various not-Canberra-and-therefore-exotic locations, and so bid farewell to our small nation’s capital with cheer and chutzpah.

The supporting acts were Super Best Friends and Ah! Pandita. Having not seen Ah! Pandita since they acquired a drummer, I was well impressed by their transition from ‘layered-vocals and uber-melodic indie-girl music’ to ‘layered-vocals and uber-melodic indie-girl with a dash of bona fide riot-grrl music.’

Farewell Trivs, may your travels see you well. May there be no trials and tribulations.

Fuck Yeah, Zines!




Zine life in Canberra has been taking off of late, thanks in part to a new collective, FYZ.

This group has been organising semi-regular zine-making days, not to mention posting links to zine fairs and other related news on their facebook page.

Check it out!
