When the biggest collection of top international DJ’s descend on Perth’s foreshore you expect the show to be sold out and potential gatecrashers surrounding the fence trying to chance an entry.
Instead the venue was half full. Wake up Perth and support these sort of incredible festivals, instead of crap like Rihanna.

Check out Pimmon, Oren Abarchi and Mystic Eyes this Thursday @ The Bakery, kicking off at 8pm.
Pimmon returns to Perth to launch his new album. Pimmon’s rare drone sounds are internationally recognised and critically acclaimed, with releases on the likes of Tigerbeat 6, Sirr and Fat Cat, Curse You, Evil Clown
Expect electronic guitar, percussion which translates into a transcending conventional instrumental show from Oren Ambarchi. Ambarchi returns to Perth to support and collaborate with Pimmon.
Perth’s Mystic Eyes plays guitar and delivers a “psychedelic estampida” which will set the drone of this eclectic evening.
Tickets available at 78 Records, Planet or on the door.
