Fists of Love is a story about the violence of love, about the pain it can bring us, both physically and mentally. It is a story of the sacrifices we make, believing we are doing the right thing but never knowing for sure if we are.

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

Guest performer: Apolo

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.

Guest performer AVALANCHE

“Why Avalanche? Because it’s a force of nature and does whatever it wants to, including reshaping stuff, the ultimate landscaper. Depending on the day of the week, it could also be a Leonard Cohen reference. Gotta love the Leonard! It’s a name I came up with for myself a few hundred years ago, kinda like them Apache chiefs of old – see, they’d get given a name when they were kids, and then change it as they grew up. I was kind of a molehill when I was little, apparently… Now I’m a mountain getting its rocks off!!!!”
