I Used to Skate Once 10
Ten years strong, I Used to Skate Once is a showcase staple. Art and music come together to create a truly iconic Brisbane event.
Overview
news
For ten solid years, Outpost has hosted a creative showcase that is like no other in this sunny state. They’ve nabbed the best in Brisbane art, music and scene spinners, thrown them into The Zoo, filled The Zoo with hip people, and said 'look, listen and party'. And looked, listened and partied is exactly what people have done, and will do so again this Thursday at Outpost’s tenth and grandest I Used to Skate Once.
Music wise, there will be something a little different. Expect to be thrown for a loop as you experience elecrto-enlightenment within the old Blonde Venus store (underneath the Zoo), as it will be all lights and noise as EXIT – Electronic Music Room takes place. Brainbeau, Pale Earth, While Palms and Foxy/Moron with Girls in Uniform will be spinning sounds and giving you a healthy supplement of rave, dance, candy techno. Probably not great to indulge in this little rave party if you have epilepsy, a weak heart, or just spook easily.
If you’re craving a bit of sound, but don’t want any electro feels, stick upstairs at The Zoo to see Goon Sax, Statler + Waldorf and Roku Music.
Art wise, expect to be a little blown away – there’s going to be serious quantity on show, matched with even more serious quality. Amongst the dozens of artists who’ll be showing work, you can catch Kool Thing – our favourite pet profiler, Bad Teeth Comics – father of Brisbane’s best comics and toys, WBYK, Robert Moore, and Joel Morris - check out the full list of artists here.
I Used to Skate Once is one of Brisbane’s most humble, and best creative showcases. It’s always been free. It’s always made locality its crux. And it’s always been a must attend on any social calendar. Make sure the 26th of June is circled in big black nikko on yours.
