Need an excuse to party this New Years Eve? This is the excuse that we’re making:
A night of hotness featuring one of the biggest names in the business, Kele Okereke of Bloc Party!
Tick Tock and Boomtick have conjured up the sexiest New Years Eve party on the West Coast, dishing up the perfect soundtrack to take you and your crew through to 2011.
And we think it’s good enough for what you’re paying.
Coupled with Kele is Bang Ganging Shazam and a local lineup of pure Perthonalities.
You’ll get everything from David Bowie to Daft Punk, Blondie to Bloc Party (of course!), as well as Kele’s own Tenderoni-style hits from his debut solo album, ‘The Boxer’. A fantastic ride of the indie, pop and dance sounds which have shaped the music we all love in 2010. We know you like your music fun. We know you love to dance like no one is watching. We know this is the NYE party for you.
We’re getting loud with you! This show will sell out, so get your tickets sorted stat!

If it’s one thing these boys know, it’s how to make people lose their shit, and with the help of an awesome new downstairs layout, tropical outdoor beer garden and some of the dopest local supports, much shit will be lost – you have been warned.

Remember when your parents used to tell you to turn your music down? Your latest Skitz Mix or Snoop Dogg album would get you into all sorts of trouble. Nothin’ but “god forsaken noise” the old timers would say. They just didn’t get it. Well Friday night gave us all the oppurtunity to get one back on Pops and the Old Lady as party makers Tick Tock and record labellers Paper Chain combined their powers to create Trouble & Bass; a bass music spectacular featuring ex Guns ‘N’ Bombs badboy Deathface, and an all star local line up to bring the bass to the place, more specifically Ambar. Break it down for the full review.

Repping T&B we have Johnny Love AKA DEATHFACE, formerly of LA electro juggernaut Guns’n’Bombs. Johnny has since moved into darker, dubbier territory, delivering some seriously heavy electro-dubstep hybrids on the worlds best labels before recently dropping his debut EP on Trouble and Bass.
In true Tick Tock style support comes from the biggest players in the Perth scene.. known worldwide for his mammoth D’n’B releases such as ‘Polygon’ and ‘The Sun’, Shock One will be in the house to throw down very a special Electro-Dub set. Paperchain Jedi Masters, Kit Pop and Zeke join forces for some dex’n’fx mayhem, Rekab brings his PDMA award winning dubstep skills whilst local dorcia posterboy CLOMAS rounds out the night with his baddass brand of electro.
Perth has proven that we love the bass and this will undoubtedly be one of the heaviest nights on the calendar. The show is expected to sell out so grab a ticket while you can!

Brace yourself cos the mercury is on the rise again at Villa which can only mean one thing.. STEAMWORKS IS BACK!
The first Steamworks saw Ajax, Bag Raiders and Killa Queenz melting the dancefloor to a capacity crowd for one of the hottest parties of the year, this time we have gone international with another piping hot triple header.
Mightyfools are back to destroy Perth dance floors again and as Denmark’s favourite Party Junkies and label mates to the likes of CROOKERS and HIJACK on the influential Pottymouth imprint, destruction is imminent.
Consisting of DJ PUSHUPS and SIR NENIS of Finland’s infamous TOP BILLIN collective, SHARKSLAYER have been killing parties and festivals the world over and now have their targets set on Australian Waters.
Flight Facilites are the most enigmatic pilots in modern disco and are touching down at Steamworks as part of their maiden voyage tour. With their debut single ‘Crave You’ blowing up all over the world, these boys have been racking up more frequent flyer points than Howard Hughes, this is one flight you do not want to miss.

Last time Pase Rock turned up to Shape I remember a very very very busy club. I think this will be no exception. Hip-hop. electro indie all rolled into one. And PhDj sounds like he’d be a Shannon Fox/Sleater Brockman kind of Dj, which I’m really getting into at the moment, I love the ‘play a bit of everything’ house party kind of Dj, as long as they do it smoothly. Mickey Juice and I decided without the smoothness it loses lots of credibility.
Last night was so busy, I arrived at 9.30 with some of the Perthquake crew and the line was already past the edge of the building, I think there were a few disgruntled fans because they didn’t have tickets and weren’t going to get in, but if you didn’t buy a ticket for the whole 3 weeks they were on sale then I’m sorry but more fool you!
