Another 'Visiting Adelaide' Thread

Hi,

I'm coming to Adelaide for 2 weeks on Monday (7th Feb). I've been there a couple of times before, for work, but only for one or two nights. I figure I can see a fair bit of the city in 2 weeks (although I will be working) but I was hoping for some local knowledge.

I like electro (old school), funk, hip hop, jazz, sneakers, coopers beer, good food, the odd wine etc.

I've had a look at What's On and it seems pretty quiet but I figure there are some regular club nights that don't get a mention. I might check out the Avalanches - it's been a while. Anything else worth a look?

Shop recommendations? Restaurant recommendations? Pub recommendations? Where can I drown myself in Coopers Pale? Club recommendations? (I don't have a mullet), where can a good brekkie be had?

I've been told to go to Glenelg, so I'll do that I guess. What about hiring a car and going for a drive - any good options there?

peas out.

Drown yourself in Coopers at The Coopers Ale House on Pulteney St (or anywhere else for that matter, it's adelaide - the home of Coopers)

For brekkie go to East Terrace Continental on East Terrace

overwhelming response

it seems that ITM isn't really used by Adelaide - citysearch is telling me that DJ Krush, Arrested Development, Freq Nasty and a couple of other well known acts will be in town during my stay.

Can anyone tell me what the story is with the first two? It says they're on at 'Black Cat/White Cat' on Thursday. Is that likely? Krush and Nasty at the same venue on the same night?

Couldn't find a web site for the club - anyone got proper info?

James Holden is playing at Electric Circus on Thurs Feb 10....

james holden, no more needs to be said.

if you dont go, then you not a proper lot 33 fan !!!!!!!!!

From what I've been told, Mr. Holden plays pretty proggy stuff, which doesn't interest me. I'll be at Krush, given the choice.

Still looking for answers re: Black Cat/White Cat though. Might have to sus it tomorrow.

Looking forward to acquiring a Coopers Pale stubby holder.

pfft, stop thinking that holden plays prog. seen his track listing lately ?

pretty bleepy techno if you ask me !

James is definitely more on the techno bent than prog these days anybody who thinks otherwise is an idiot. In his own words, it is "Aphex Twin doing Ferry Corsten up the bum"

thanks all for the james holden clues and other tips. I arrived this morning - might see some of you out if I can figure out what's what.
