Cheeky Freak Of The Week!
Text: Tristan Ceddia
Found this AMAZING animation on You Tube last night from 1978 by Russian Director Vladimir Tarasov. There isn’t much information on Tarasov readily available from a Google search (might have to hit the library), but from what I can tell he was the director of animated propaganda films during the Russian Communist era. Look out for the killer Godfather soundtrack!
If you are in Melbourne this weekend, we are hosting The Blackmail’s second issue launch party on Saturday night at Revolver, Prahran from 5pm-8pm featuring free drinks along with tunes from Emillionzzz, Nervous Jack and Bizkit and film projections from Johan Rashid.
People of Sydney, this weekend you are spoilt for choice with power posse Ro Sham Bo’s new Friday night party Survivor at The Bunker Bar in Kings Cross along with Bag Raiders Shooting Stars launch at Oxford Arts Factory featuring Van She Tech, Bang Gang Deejays, Magic Happens and U-Go-B. Saturday night sees Podwars long-haired return to the Cricketers, aptly themed Anything Goes. Sounds like a PARTY to me!
OH, and remember, Issue 2 of The Blackmail goes out Monday, if you haven’t already subscribed, get on it! Issue 2 features Kill Pixie, Beautiful Kate, Mikey Young from Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Darcel and more!
