Shakewell Magazine Launch

They're incoherently immature and aggressively unfancy, and they want to party with you.

Overview

If you haven’t heard of Brisbane’s Shakewell Magazine yet, then you best be tuning in. They’re a new local print publication promoting our creative, street, urban and underground culture, and doing it with some serious style. And sure, a magazine like this tends to pop up once every month of two, fizzle out after a few editions, and become shelved amongst other literary flops, but there's high chances Shakewell may be the one that shoots off as a new culture staple. Why? Because they’re self-proclaimed incoherently immature, aggressively unfancy, foolishly honest and irrationally interesting.

Now, with an already addictive website under the belt – check it – they’re about to launch their first tangible issue of Shakewell Magazine at Jamie’s Espresso. Expect cheap drinks, plenty of cheer, an unfathomably perfect music playlist, and even some give aways. They’ve wrangled the sponsorship of Doss Blockos7 Tate Crush City, STIL HORA and Phresh Ink, so expect this launch party to be oozing crafty art and many derivatives of 'cool'.

The party kicks of this Friday at 6pm, and will probably last late into the eve.  If you can’t make it, but still want to support this innovative venture, pre-order the first edition of Shakewell Magazine here, then laminate, because who know’s how much it’ll be worth 30 years from now.
