HOT Chat: Georgia Beattie from Lupe
Melbourne Music Week starts today until 26 November – a fun-filled week of music (natch), films, workshops, parties, eating and drinking. One of my discoveries for Melbourne Music Week is actually not directly about music. If you visit any of the bars at Melbourne Music Week you’ll find Lupe, an innnovative single serve filled wine glass [...]
HOT: Quartetthaus, Melbourne Festival, Ngargee Centre for Contemporary Art, Sidney Myer Courtyard 111 Sturt St, Southbank
Something very curious has landed in the courtyard of the Malthouse Theatre. What is it? It looks like a big wooden box. No obvious doors or windows but if you listen carefully you can hear the faint scraping of string instruments. It’s the Quartetthaus! The Australian National Academy of Music and lighting and design studio [...]

HOT: Fly Me To the Moon, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Palais Theatre, St Kilda
The 2011 Melbourne International Jazz Festival kicked off at the glamorous Palais Theatre with an opening night of jazz standards reinterpreted by a group of not-your-usual jazz vocalists – Tex Perkins, Paris Wells, Eddie Perfect and Kimbra.

HOT: Underground Cinema Speakeasy Prohibition Party, Red Bennies, 373 Chapel St, South Yarra
J: “I’m going to a movie this Saturday. I don’t know what the movie is or where it’s screening, but do you want to come with me?” K: “Umm…ok. I don’t really get it but it sounds intriguing…” Intrigue is the key to the success of Underground Cinema. The premise is this – you buy [...]

HOT: Marvellous March in Melbourne
I’m all for comfort food, opaque tights and scarves (I think it’s a reaction to growing up in sunny Queensland) – yay for Marvellous March! Marvellous March is also the name of a handy little booklet produced by That’s Melbourne with details of the big events around Melbourne that will make you love autumn. This [...]
