Weekend in Brunswick

There's a cool wind coming in from the east this weekend and if you're around you gotta get on board. Million-dollar contract band Airborne are on tour, and if you like your metal you'll love these guys;Friday night at The East for $11. There's great variety around on Saturday, the best picks include Matt Walker and Ashley Davies at The Retreat (see picture right) or Steve Hoy at the Cornish Arms.

But it's Sunday that we go to in order to find this week's Golden Parrot winner. Grab your placards, comrades, put a red rose in your fist, chant 'solidarity forever' and get down to The East on Sunday. You can march there either in the afternoon, the evening or both for ROCK FOR YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK. Get drunk, listen to some great music, and help fight Howard's bastard extremist Work Choice laws all at the same time.
