OUT is a guide to gigs, parties, studio sales and other events in Perth. It's what tourist brochures call nightlife but to us it is simply life and so we also include events that refuse to be categorised. We believe that good, clean fun is a contradiction, that a bottle of beer should never cost $10, and that a queue is our cue to leave, or at least lie about being on the doorlist.
What:
Extortion, Loose Screws album launch
Where:
Civic Hotel, 981 Beaufort St

With a bunch of releases, several East Coast tours and a trip to the states under their belts, it's fairly safe to say that local powerviolence dudes, Extortion, have been keeping things frantic the last 12 months. Watch them match that pace, maybe even kick up the BPMs, as they launch latest album Loose Screws.

Love, sunshine and sporadic dancing. Picnic Records are here to answer your raging desire for said three with the launch of their label. The brainchild of DJ Nathan Nisbet (aka Captn K), Picnic Records have chosen our new fave hang out, The Bird, for a mad exclusive launch party. Captn K will be showcasing released and unreleased Picnic Records material alongside sets from local DJs Nathan J, Deruki, Chris "Righteous" and Massive Trav.

Most average shops in Australia don't have basements. But since when has S2 been average? They're about as average as... a shop with a basement. This home of edgy, architectural fashion is saying goodbye to summer with past season stock, Japanese scarves, jewellery and a dash of fabric all up to 70% off.
Event: Sales
Stimulus: Cheap Treasure

What:
Chicago-style Hotdog and Martini
Where:
399 Bar, 399 William St, Northbridge
When:
Tuesdays
How much:
$20
My eighteen-month stint as a vegetarian was obliterated in ‘06 by the consumption of a 5-inch hotdog at Yankee Stadium. My rationale being that it was a long held ambition based on 20 years of American TV. If I were still 'anti-meat' today, 399 would be forcing a second transgression. On Tuesdays they're serving up Chicago-style hotdogs with a tomato and shallot mix, hot chillis and American mustard.
Event: bits and pieces
Stimulus: dancing sausages
