With special guests The Growl, The Painkillers and Frozen Ocean, plus DJs Shannon Fox and Jamie Mac.

ohn Dwyer [has] built Thee Oh Sees into a Teflon coated vessel that spews out countless records at a furious clip and plays live with such intensity that it feels like the band members have noticed the Doomsday Clock is about to strike midnight.
- Drowned in Sound

Californian lo-fi garage-dwellers Thee Oh Sees return to Perth on January 20 for a riot-starting show at The Bakery. Imagine the reverberating psych aesthetic of the 13th Floor Elevators mixed with the foot-to-the-floor energy of The Stooges, and youâll have some idea why this show will both drop jaws and blow minds.

The ĂĽber-prolific bandâs second record for the year, Carrion Crawler/The Dream, is a rollicking, sweaty beast of an album that is sure to grace many a top 10 list by the end of 2011. Continuing in the tradition of Thee Oh Seesâ rough-around-the-edges rock and roll, the record captures the manic, hyperactive antics of the band, fronted by the guitar-chewing, melody-maiming John Dwyer (Coachwhips, Pink and Brown, Hospital).

In a live setting, the band are gritty, loud and a guaranteed party-starter. Anyone who witnessed the bandâs last Perth show can testify to the raw energy and stage-destroying power of Thee Oh Sees in full flight.

Support from the amazing triumvirate of the swaggering dirtiness that is The Growl, the punk-garage rock of The Painkillers and noisy duo Frozen Ocean, as well as DJs Shannon Fox and Jamie Macdonald.

Hours: Doors at 7pm Close 11.30pm

Cost: FREE

Miles Noel is the feature artist from January - March at Bivouac.
In this, his latest offering, Miles depicts portraits immersed within a fluidly painted semi-abstract landscape. Loosely sweeping brush strokes evocative of flowers and feathers are melded together with lush
semi-photographic realism, creating an arresting combination of styles. Miles employs his skills as a commercial photographer and graphic designer when constructing his paintings.
Be sure to grab a flyer and scan the QR codes with your smart phone to see a time-lapse video of how the work was made. All works are for sale.

Good Company & Wing+Gill present:
SUN ARAW + BAND (USA), + RITES WILD (SA) + ELECTRIC TOAD + ANDREW SINCLAIR
Cameron Stallones began his musical career as a founding member of the experimental psychedelic rock collective Magic Lantern. Soon after, demos originally intended to light the Lantern became the first Sun Araw LP: The Phynx.

Sun Araw blossomed as a solo project in attempted geosynchronous orbit with the Eternal Now: oblique six-dimensional transmissions from changeless environs.

Structural and spiritual inspiration for Sun Araw comes primarily from Cameron's first artistic love: film and filmmakers, especially those invested in the long-take (Tarkovsky, Altman, Bela Tarr, Greenaway).
Devoted to long-form mantric music, the ethos is similar: straight lampin' in deep focus, angle after angle on the melodic object, gaining strength from the subsequent breakdown of the illusion of fixed perspective.

Since 2007, 4 full-length LPs, 3 EPs, and 5 cassettes have walked the mind-planes from psychedelic drone to melted afrobeat, from warped dub to minimal composition.

These releases have been praised in Wire Magazine (who selected Heavy Deeds as one of the top 50 records of 2008, and On Patrol in the top 50 of 2010), The New Yorker, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Uncut Magazine, Mojo, Pitchfork, and beyond. Sun Araw has performed in the US, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand with hundreds of artists including luminaries like Christian Fennesz and Konono No. 1.

In early 2011, Cameron and M. Geddes Gengras traveled to Jamaica where they produced and recorded a collaboration album with roots reggae legends The Congos, set for release in the fall.
While in and around Kingston, they also began producing dancehall singles and tracking local toasters under the name Duppy Gun Productions, which will be seeing release this summer.

Latest Release "Ancient Romans" is now available from all good record stores.

2012 marks a decade of the Tom Malone Prize. This acquisitive award for Australian glass artists has been the platform for the Gallery to collect some of the best work being made in the country today. The combined exhibitions feature work by 2012’s shortlisted makers, all past winners and a selection of glass works from the State Art Collection. Works have been selected to bring to view objects which have been recently purchased, and those works that precede and parallel the works of the Tom Malone Prize acquisitions. The display broadens viewers’ understanding about what is happening in the glass world and what is possible in the medium of glass.
