RTR FM Radiothon Opening Party
Where - Astor Cinema, Mt Lawley
Time - 19:00
Yet again the year reaches that time where the local and independent radio needs our help. But to get this help they put on some pretty fantastic shows and with Adam Trainer at the music director helm now, there’s a new dash of experimental concoctions being added to the party vibe.
Chilling in the upstairs cinema is Craig McElhinney, Gilbert Fawn, Mystic Eyes and Rabbit Island, and I will be handling the live visuals. The screen and projections up there look AMAZING so this is definitely one to catch, if you are into hypnotic abstract and mystifying visuals to accompany your favourite live experimental artists. That’s not to mention the many, many other fun bands, DJs and presenters that will be inhabiting the cinema, and it’s all for the best cause. Keep the local and experimental radio kicking.
RTRFMs annual Radiothon Subscription Drive is on again come August, and as always we’re throwing a massive party to celebrate. The 2010 Radiothon Opening Party descends upon the Astor Cinema in Mount Lawley for a night of fun, dancing, and a few surprises across three separate spaces in the Astor complex.
On the main stage catch the upbeat vibes of local partymakers Boys, Boys, Boys, the svelte dancefloor pop of The Voltaire Twins, horns galore and more grooves than you can throw a stick at with The Brow Horn Orchestra, the fun pop stylings of Milly James, with your MC for the evening, the irrepressible master of the dancefloor and king of crowds – Tomás Ford.
Upstairs in the candy bar, keep yourself moving whilst picking up a refreshment as we present some of the city’s best DJs in Diger Rokwell, Mama Cass, Charlie Bucket, and RTRFMs own Sardi and Ben Elliott.
Plus, the upstairs cinema will transform into a chill out room, featuring experimental sounds from Craig McElhinney, Mystic Eyes, Rabbit Island and Gilbert Fawn, with live visuals onscreen from RTRs own Kynan Tan and friends.
