Apolo at Spoke N Slurred

A Social Undertaking
25 Gresham Street, Adelaide (off Hindley St)

The first Spoke N Slurred at our new, temporary home at the fantastic laneway bar – A Social Undertaking.

APOLO god of prophecy, music and healing, offers his wisdom as a link between gods and man alike. With an intellect as far reaching as the arrows shot from a silver bow, he is said to be the first god to teach mortals the healing arts including that of poetry. It is thought that he is to help humans achieve their full potential with his gifts of enlightenment. When man journeyed to the heavens, they fittingly named their mission to the moon Apolo, after the god who inspired mankind to reach for the stars.

“A Social Undertaking” – new temporary home for Spoke N Slurred

Spoke N Slurred has a new, temporary home – A Social Undertaking on 25 Gresham St off Hindley St.

Not only is Paroxysm Press well familiar with their establishment but their crew have been regular punters at SnSd. There will be two more Spoke N Slurred sessions before the end of the year: Sundays September 29th & October 27th.

November will be reserved for a very special event we’ll fill you in on soon and we always take December off. We can’t wait for you to see these great digs and meet the supportive people behind it. And don’t worry, we hope to have Bryan from Broadcast Bar on board slinging beers with own his brand of grumpy charm.

Farewell to the Broadcast Bar…

The whole building is set to be torn down and this Sunday, August 25th, will be the last Spoke N Slurred in its current home (featuring Avalanche, 66A Grote Street from 5.30pm).

But fear not Paroxysm people, Bryan has had many a venue over the years and there will be another soon enough. And with it a new home for our monthly event. But please do come along and see this legendary dive bar off in style!

Tegan Sabine at Spoke N Slurred

Guest Tegan Sabine: When Tegan took their first wobbly steps at eleven-months-old, they had no idea they’d be stepping on so many stages. When they wrote their name backwards and barely legible in kindergarten, they had no clue they’d dedicate decades to words. Today, they’re still tripping on their toes, and scrawly in their scribings. Tegan has been writing poetry since thirteen, and performing since nineteen. They’ve shared their work at open mics and slams all over Adelaide in the seven years since.
