Yellow Brick Road is the new weekly night breaking in the PA in the Oxford Art Factory's Gallery Bar.

Previous weeks have seen the blossoming of an event which promises to be one of the better mid-week parties in Sydney - free entry, cheap booze and some of Sydney's best young talent have proved a winning formula so far.

With so much on offer and so little asked in return, we see no excuse to stay at home on Wednesday night. Come down and support some great local talent at Yellow Brick Road.

METRONOMY
THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER
Metronomy were last in Australia in January of this year playing sell-out shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Back so soon its true, yet audiences can expect something new from Metronomy this September. After long-standing member Gabriel Stebbings departure to focus on his own band, Metronomy reincarnated enlisting Gbenga Adelekan on bass and Anna Prior on drums. The two new additions have turned the Metronomy live experience from a laptop looping three-piece into a full live band - making them well worth checking out again at one of their Australian shows!

SUPPORT: Danimals, DJs Sleater Brockman & Magic Happens.

On Friday September 11th Sydney’s demonic Hydra of the arts, Exquisite Corpse heads South of the border to launch a fiery affair of outstanding Sydney and Melbourne live music!

Located at Carlton's grand and newly revamped Curtin Bandroom, the split bill will take turns to share with another and a lucky audience some of the very best DIY from both cities! The night's promising theatrics will also be met and enhanced with stunning live visuals by Sydney artist Tara Cook.

The following week, back in its natural habitat; Exquisite Corpse is proud to present the work of four of Melbourne's finest for a wild night of noise and deafening surprises. In its usual setting, also expect a new performance; 'Moon Juice' by Ben Wilson, Sarah Pickering and Hugh Stewart, as well as original, abstract and absurd live visuals by Sydney artist and filmmaker Joel Burrows.

Both events and all hell in-between to be filmed and documented by Jaie Gonzalez.

The Oxford Art Factory is pleased to announce a show starring the kings of sizzling hot soul, The Cuban Brothers – on Saturday 31st October.

The Cuban Brothers are unique. Born of the loins of seventies Havana, nurtured on a diet of soulful, sexy tunes and inspired by Cuban historical fact and mythology – their fresh approach to live entertainment whips up a frenzy at every gig.

Their legendary performance combines music, which evolves with every show, riotous comedy, both physical and observational, and sensational dancing - consequently the energy at every show is incredible.

Support at the event comes from Sydney’s own Killaqueenz – one of the most promising Hip Hop acts coming out of Australia right now. They are renowned for their high energy shows and unrivalled dedication to the art. Hailing from Uganda and Belize, Kween G and Belizean Bombshell draw inspiration from their respective homelands to bring a fresh sound to the Australian Hip Hop scene.

On the ones and twos we have fashion magnate cum DJ Graz, and OAF regular Harry Cotton.

Tickets are available now through Moshtix – don’t miss out on an event that’s sure to sell out.

Hey! A reminder for all you bonafide genuine students out there!

Don’t forget that the OAF is offering you substantial discounts from Wednesday through to Sunday with its 'Das Kleine Buch' discount passport. The passport offers the bearer really cool discounts on all kinds of drinks and jugs! Just a small show of appreciation for all of you out there that can’t necessarily afford to pay full price for drinks; let alone study books etc.

In order to secure one for yourself, all you have to do is bring along a passport sized photo of yourself and your student ID card, visit our cloakroom person on any Friday or Saturday, and request your own copy of Das Kleine Buch.

P.S. We know that organising a passport photo can be hard work, so we just installed a photo booth in the Gallery. Stop in and get your mug slapped on your very own Das Kleine Buch this weekend!

Happy drinking and remember – always drink responsibly!

Cheers from the OAF. xo

This month, we were very fortunate to have Australian icon of street art, Phibs, paint the gallery wall at the Oxford Art Factory.

An interesting part of the process of an ever-changing wall, but one we don't often get the chance to share, is watching artists get their work up. We've seen a lot of different techniques, some more impressive than others - but Phibs blew away everyone who visited the venue while he was paintng. Watching him push images out of his brain and onto the wall was pretty special.

The good news for you is that our good friends from Keep Moving popped in to tape one section of the wall going up.

Make sure you visit the gallery during April to see the finished piece.

The Oxford Art Factory is looking for new DJs with innovative taste in music. We are on the look out for real bedroom bangers, DJs who have had little or no experience playing in front of a crowd.

We want the bedroom to come to the Oxford Art Factory, we want to witness the jams that go down in the privacy of your own homes. The Oxford Art Factory loves new music, and old music, and hearing old music played in a way that makes it feel new. We're not hung up on genres or technical wizardry, we're just after your premium jams.

If you'd like to get a gig at the OAF, please submit a LIVE mix, with track listing, and your name (and DJ name, if you have one), your email address and phone number.

You can post CDs to DEMO / OXFORD ART FACTORY, 38-46 Oxford St, Darlinghurst, NSW, 2010, or email a link to download your mix to demo@oxfordartfactory.com.

DJs who have played in other venues need not apply for this as we are only looking for fresh talent with this drive.

We may not be able to get back to everyone who submits a mix, but we promise that everything will get a listen.
