Hey folks,
Well, we have had a fantastic year with OUTPOST and would love you to come down and celebrate the final event for 2008 at Horse Bazaar.
Entry is free and it cranks up at 8:30p.m.

We are also very excited to have Kelly Ryal & Matt Gingold as our final feature performers for the year.

Having worked together in the past on theater productions, Kelly & Matt will be premiering their audio visual performance collaboration at Outpost this Wednesday.
Kelly will be showing off new sounds and music developed during a hectic year of non-stop audio production, and Matt will be using new software developed in open frameworks to play HD video and stills made during his recent travels to Thailand, Singapore and Japan.
Hot.
Super Hot..

There will be lots of opportunity for everyone to get their jam on and as always, new players/projectors are most welcome so tell your friends and..
Bring your gear and have no fear!

Hi all,

Just so you know, this month’s OUTPOST has been delayed by a week to make way for a special STUTTER show at Horse Bazaar. If you haven’t been to a STUTTER show (curated by new music impresario powerhouse, Annalee Koernig) then why not take this chance to absorb the impact that Melbourne’s thriving underground and new music will have on your brain box.

This means that OUTPOST #23 for 29th October has been pushed back to Wednesday November 5th.

Stay tuned for more details on feature artists for Outpost #23.
