Battle of the weekend love
We have a new contender on the Perth weekend nightlife scene, promising to deliver salvation from boring winter nights spent on the couch with only the company of bad commercial television. ‘Love Saves Fridays’ (fb), not to be confused with the previously blogged ‘Love Sundays’ (post) is a weekly collection of Perth’s best DJs let loose on the turntables with one thing in mind: to save your Friday night from dying a dull, danceless, music death.
It all launches 10pm Friday 24 July at the Republic (Corner Wellington and Shafto Lane), which you may be familiar with as the venue for the now very popular SEXY nights (a personal favourite of mine). Whereas ‘Love Sundays’ was a bit of a coosh plastic glam night, ‘Love Saves Fridays’ is all about the atmosphere, company and music: You can expect sounds of the 70s, including indie-funk and glam rock, with different mixes each week.
The night has been created by Petrosex and the team from Bourgeois Bogan, who have a solid reputation for great events in Perth. Anyone with SEXY experience will know these events are all about creating an inner-city haven, where you can just have a plain ‘ol good time without the BS. There is also word that Perth’s performance superstar Ash Baroque will be the evening’s hostess to ensure no unappreciatives enter the walls of Love Saves Fridays.
So if you’re growing weary of the decreasing crowds at the Maddox Mansion (hey, it happens in winter), then do head along to the launch of Love Saves Fridays. It’s something new and fresh, and will save your winter weekends with a bit of soul.
Be sure to download the Love Saves Fridays flyer and check them out on facebook.

New nights in Perth
In case you weren’t previously informed, the night club scene in Perth is dead, having been over run with Dalkeith kids. We’re going the way of Melbourne and semi-secret bar nights are coming into fashion: Two opened this week.
The first is Wednesday night’s HA - The heavenly ascension to the secret society of cosmic dance. It’s a long name for a chilled out mid-week smooze: 60s and 70s music, bar drinks and a very relaxed yet cosy atmosphere. This is a members only night, although I noticed the girls on the door stopped checking the guest list shortly after I arrived. Keep watching the facebook page to see if memberships are opened again.
SEXY (photo above) is a Saturday new wave / no wave / disco night at Republic: the hollowed out shell of the old Penthouse strip club. Classy. Its been started by Perth’s Voltaire Twins. Highly recommended if you like your new wave sounds and feel relaxed sitting around stripper poles with the courteous indie crowd. I did notice three blonde supre-looking girls wobbling about (I think in an attempt to dance)… they must have become lost on their way to the Paramount.
At the risk of ruining the feel of the night by telling every citizen of Perth to come along, I’m not going to give you any further details on this one 
. If you want to go along you’ll do the research - it’s not hard.
