The fam from Free Radical TV recently took a trip to Melbourne and it seems to have left them with some pretty bulky souvenirs. The next instalment of Uncouth Occasion is set to feature pieces from Melb artist Doug Bennett and flicks from Bali-based photographer Maya Crowder. We’ve seen quite a bit from Bennett the past year and he’s yet to disappoint, serving up striking pieces that tread a fine line between glamorous and grungy. One flick through Crowder’s gram is really all it really takes to fall in love with her introspective shots, making this young photographer one to watch.

With a focus on showcasing young up and comers, the exhibition will be helped along by tunes from Fade In Mona Lisa—not to mention free bevs from 6-7pm.

Joining forces once again with the Culture Machine, you’ll find us sussing the Facebook event quicker than you can say urmumsyadad.

We’re probably going to hyping group art shows until our dying days, and when the youth are churning out projects as impressive as this, it’s easy to see why we get so hyped. LAMB on GORE are coming through for round two of their house-exhibition-extravaganza. With a vinyl DJ, 5 bands and 13 artists, the abode on Gore Street is set to be transformed into artistic space that begs to be explored.

Yep, this is a celebration of what the movers and shakers have been cooking up and the diversity of the work presented alone is enough to get us prepping our stomachs for $1 goon cups. Be sure to give one of the bands playing, Gonzo, a play below as you scroll through the rest of the Facebook event for more details.
