ThePCC are pleased to announce that Hobo DJs will be playing a live mash-up set at our September 2 Triple Zine Launch! For Hobo DJ mash-ups to make you smile go here.
In the meantime you can catch Hobo Obituaries live tonight (Thursday July 29) at The Cavern at Nobby’s Beach, Gold Coast. The Cavern & Forcefeed Live Art have been putting on a kick arse live art, music, beer & pizza on Thursdays. The live art has been phenomenal to say the least! The vibe has been very positive and nurturing for artists and art lovers. Great to see a local business like the Cavern supporting live music and art under one roof.The super talented artist-tattooist Sean Henry will be painting tonight!
We’re pleased to announce there will also be live art happening at our launch. Artists will be announced soon… stay tuned.

Don’t forget Miss Bianca is counting down the days to Conversations With Punx: A Spiritual Dialogue zine launch + exhibition at the triple zine launch…
20/60 – Heidi Minx
A positive punk rock force to be reckoned with Heidi Minx is taking a d.i.y. approach to life to another level with her work for her not-for-profit Built On Respect. Heidi’s work also includes Punk Rock Domestics and Franky & Minx. Minx chats about her work; spiritual journey so far; mantras; and getting things done! Super inspring!
“You see so much bad stuff in the world, or so many stupid things in the press; banal things that don’t make a difference in the world except to fuel a gossip fire. I have had so many people reach out to me since starting this – offering their skills, wanting to come and work with me while I am there. People I have never met, but who have found out about the project because of people spreading the word virally. I like people stepping up, and saying, “I don’t have a lot of money, but I can build a website, or pitch a documentary movie.” It is a very amazing reminder that we are a global community, one that’s not always dictated by language or lines on a map.”~Heidi Minx, Built On Respect (book extract)

TRIPLE ZINE LAUNCH & DEBUT EXHIBITION,
SEPTEMBER 1 – 3, 2010
@ BLEEDING HEART GALLERY, Brisbane
“ZINES are independent little magazines published by people like you and me and completely devoted to the D-I-Y (Do-It-Yourself) ethics. They are very diverse, covering topics from music, art, politics, parenting, ethnicity, sexuality, class issues, religion, feminism and much more. In zines anybody can write about anything. Zines usually have a small circulation and are distributed at concerts, record stores, through friends, mail, distros…” ~borrowed from GrrrlZines.net
