What is Ben Pobjie’s Funeral all about? It’s about one man’s quest to make sense of life and death, and get people to say nice things about him while he’s still around to appreciate it. It will deal with such urgent issues as:

- The meaning of life
- The meaning of death
- Zombies
- Cyclists
- The life cycle of the Port Jackson shark
- Wacky posters
- Jesus
- And many more

THERE WILL BE POETRY. View his blog here.

Welcome to the home of Melbourne’s Premier Alternative Fashion Parade, Circa Nocturna. Each year, designers showcase their creative, left-of-field designs, subcultural fashion, wearable art and clubwear on the catwalk. Book your tickets now, because this sell-out show is one night you don’t want to miss!

As we sold out last year, and many people missed out, we will be running two shows this year: a matinee show at 4pm and a late show at 8pm. More ticketing information can be found here

This is a strictly invite-only event!

2011 is a big year in the making. Special feeling in the air don’t you think? It’s also my birthday next week – 33 years I been running amok.

Which is a very good excuse to do a gig, have a party and launch a new CD.

So kids, be at Blue Velvet on Friday January 21st at 8pm ’cause it’s a fucking Smarty Party!

Aside from lounging around the bar and making witty comments over a martini glass, I will be launching the ‘Hey, That’s Just A Bunch of Love Poems!’ album and also performing the first ever Melbourne version of ‘Wild Optimist – The Rises and Falls of a Performance Poet’ in its original Brisbane format. That’s with original soundtrack and costume changes and all the bells and whistles.

Plus secret special guests. So special they don’t even know about it yet.

And we’ll drink in moderation of course. Because it is a party and poets are a sensible lot . . .

Ceremony presents:
A tribute to Joy Division
Date: Friday December 17 2010
Admission: $5

The evening starts at 8.30 pm, playing the “Unknown Pleasures” portion of Peter Hook and the Light’s performance recorded live at the Palais Theatre, Melbourne, Australia on September 24th this year, then followed by a Joy Division/New Order special, related artists and indie from the 80’s into the night.
