Gig: Melt-Banana
18 Oct 2010, 8 p.m.
Loved by John Peel, Mike Patton and others, Melt-Banana are one of the most exciting bands to have come from Japan’s experimental punk scene. As fast and extreme, as they are interesting and trippy, they have gained a reputation for putting on the most intense gigs you’re likely to see.

Film: Dust & Illusions (2009)
20 Oct 2010, 7:30 p.m.
Dust & Illusions explores the history of the Burning Man event in North America. Unique in that it is created by the participants, not the organisers, and in that sense it has survived its original ideals/utopias, but the ideas have been eroded by time, pressure from the larger society. Th film questions our ability to stand behind those ideals over a lifetime. The DIRECTOR will be in available for teleconference Q&A after the movie.
