Overview
Sedition
Gallery is the best barbershop in Sydney. It’s run by a guy called Mick
who does a very tidy short back and sides, which is harder to find than
you might think. But that’s not what makes it “the bestâ€. It’s the best
because it treads that perfect line between “old-school mens
barbershop†and “weird gay porn art denâ€. The place is chock-full of
bizarre and confronting artworks, many of them Mick's own. Thats because
he’s been running Sedition as a gallery and music venue for the last
ten years. It’s also a record shop. Everywhere in Sydney should be like
this.
Last
time I went there Mick was curating a show about circles. “When you
think about it, man, a circle is just a line with no endâ€, he said, as
he tapered my neck with a razor. I took this statement to be either a
Zen Koan, a statement so devoid of logic or meaning that it clears the
mind to a transcendental state, or else a signpost of mental illness. I
muttered something non-committal and after that the conversation turned
frosty. When I got home I realized that he was right. A circle IS a
line with no end! Plus my hair looked awesome. See, Mick is a genius.
This
friday the Barbershop/Recordshop/Venue/Gallery is putting on a gig with
prog musical acts Flutter Lyon and Kirin J Callinan. I can’t vouch for
Flutter Lyon but Callinan is great. A topless Nick Cave type fella who
sings like a mix between Brian Ferry and a kicked dog. Plus he plays
all his own instruments on loops. I know that might sound terrible, but
its actually pretty damn good. Trust me. Trust Mick.
