Bloc Party DJ Set

Overview

I haven’t been in Brisbane for quite a while and upon my ungracious return to my hometown I performed the standard catch-up-with-your-friends-and-have-too-many-Jagers thing. After feeling that last sweet aniseed sear down my esophagus, my rowdy delinquent associates and myself made our way down town to the cliché yet satisfying bearing of the Valley.

A short train ride and brisk walk sobered me up enough to stop worrying about standing and enquire as to where the hell we were going.

“Oh Hello,” I was told. “It’s a new club, where Mono used to be.”

“Right,” I responded. “Don’t I need fluro shorts and a lousy singlet to get in there?”

To my pleasant surprise, I didn’t and my first Oh Hello experience was great. The place is better, the people are better, the music is better and god damn the bar tenders are SMOKIN’!

Which brings me to this coming Friday night. I don’t know about you, but when I was 14 I was pretty excited that I saved up enough money to purchase Burnout 4. I tell you what, that game had a sick sound track. One incredibly memorable song was a track by Bloc Party and since that era I’ve always admired that band. So when I found out there’s a Bloc Party DJ set this weekend at Oh Hello, BAM! I sold Burnout 4 to sponsor myself getting boozy and wild. See you there!
