Mad march!

Post your fringe/festival/pop up venue experiences here.

Have seen
Candy butchers
Ensalada de union
And currently posting from little miss Mexico

Loving this year's events so far.

Barrio. Definitely check that out. Much classier than the Garden of Unearthly Delights and less teenagers. Just get there before it opens at 9 or you'll have to wait ages to get in.

Ensalada - had a stroll there late last sunday night. Not much happening at that time but pretty cool space.

Hope to get to Little Miss Mexico tomorrow night. Heard good things about the Depot too

Depot is quite good, worth the visit.

Eastend cabaret was hilarious again, easily a pick.

Definitely have a suss of Little Miss Mexico best bet is probably a Sunday arvo. Check out Cantina Sociale on Sturt St as well, particularly if you like your wines. Pretty keen to have a suss of The Depot.
Anyone know if the guys that have Coffee Branch on Leigh St have opened up their bar on Peel St, Clever Little Tailor, I think that's the name.
I know they were waiting for that small bar legislation to be passed which it has been, was meant to open in Feb.

Over for unsound tonight and tomorrow night. Any techno or house after parties?

Head to Sugar on Rundle St...

Anyone of note playing?

argh unsound looks amazing! anyone know what the setup/night will be like? i am imagining walking around between visuals, like a massive dancing gallery?!

Assuming Hype Williams is doing the visuals. Pretty keen to go tomorrow night, too many things on in the last few weeks is killing the bank a/c

Cantina Sociale is a permenant venue and pretty awesome.


....

I mean it's terrible, don't go there.

Had a drink at Little Miss Mexico last Sat night. It was ok, don't know why people would line up for ages to get in.

+1

I had a look when I was back in town last week, popped in for a drink with friends before we went up to Ghost Ships, by the time we came out the line was going around Frome Street...

It's alright, but nothing flash and definitely not worth lining up for an hour

Tuxedo Cat/Pigeon Island get the permanent boot from their venue on North Terrace at the end of the month, they had been trying to keep it open for a few months..:whyioughtta:

Yeah definitely better there in the late arvo while the sun's still out and before the massive lines, definitely not worth the massive line.

How was Ghost Ships shr3dder? Did you try the food at Mr Brisket, I think it's upstairs in the Crown & Anchor as well.
Yeah same thing is happening with Little Miss Mexico they're trying for an extended licence don't know whether they've got it.

And you're right Bracko, my apologies Cantina is terrible. Best left for us who like drinking at terrible places.

I went out on Sunday and did a comedy variety show at Gluttony, then had a drink in the Garden

Tried to check Ensalada but they had a Latin American night on and were charging $15 so didn't bother.

Then went to try Little Miss Mexico but there was a decent line so didn't bother either.

Decided to call it a night and grab some late night dessert before heading home. New Churros joint on corner of East & Rundle had a lineup, so went back to the Chocolate joint on Rundle and lineup there too.

Decided if there were lineups at dessert bars all over Adelaide then its definitely time to go home LOL!

Ghost Ships is great, I've played there a few times over the last few months for various friends nights, doesn't quite have the same vibe and atmosphere as the old Two Ships but that balcony is still one helluva space and the idea of getting to play techno at the Crown and Anchor is quite neat. :rock:

I tried the food around Christmas, huge servings for the price...:drool:

little miss mexico is great during the day but i'll be a monkey's uncle if i'd queue to get in. if you do go make sure you check out vineteloper - great wines and a decent 'taste' too. really like hanging out there. the food hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread but the food at little miss mexico is class. good price and very tasty etc. i'll be getting lunch for most of tomorrow afternoon i imagine.

mr brisket (or whatever it's called) on the balcony at crown and anchor does incredible food too - and all for $10! pork, kangaroo or vegetarian, and it's a decent plate full and amazing. old world value/taste etc. unique/good selection of beers too

ghost ships would be a great venue if they got a decent sound system in and some room treatment. it's still nice as most people there are there for a reason - not many gimps manage to get in

i live about 60m from both those places so can confirm the above is based on extensive research!

my standout fringe thing so far would be that circolumbia (or however it's spelt). that was immense.

would like to go to depot too - haven't been yet

i saw that too, great show

For about 5 years running I've promised myself to get tickets to one of the Chopper shows, but never had cash at the time, or they sold out real quick.

Pretty amped that I managed to score tix to this Saturday night for 'Chopper's Big F*cken Late Show' :)

Unsound was fucking sick, good work Adelaide. Professionally ran and the sound was immense. Went to sugar afterwards, people dance funny there.

And I must say, your airport is very nice, so easy to get around and modern.

I have on good authority that they are in the process of replacing that system..... The first time I played there they had no sub and the speakers were literally facing the walls....

nicely. that's good to hear.

Well for those of you that are still keen to check out Little Miss Mexico they've had their licence extended, not sure for how long though.
I am curious as to what the hell they're going to do in winter because it's all outdoors and there's not a of a lot of cover.

I was thinking the same thing (about Lil Miss Mexico and The Depot). They're both applying for extended year-round licences, but their style of setup looks like it'd only be good for about 5 months of weather per year!
