SEE: Toy Symphony
It's always exciting going to the theatre. It's kind of weird that we don't use those big bits of crumpled paper (read: Festival Theatre and the Dunstan Playhouse) more often but certainly when you do get the opportunity to wander on past the casino, over the footbridge and down amongst the well-to-do and art-loving types it's a wonderful change fr...

Forget petrol sniffing, it's not good for you, but there's no mistaking the sweet smell of the Bowser. Ok, the boys from local act Bowser would obviously be weirded out if you actually wandered up and started snorting around them like some filthy predator smelling the scent of the kill...

One man who should know is Tim Mcburnie – an Australian artist who’s been working on French comic books for five ye...
