GZA vs WALDORF vs SWAN ST

I went to check out GZA the other week and I thought he delivered the goods although it would have been way better if he brought another MC out with him to cover his back up vox and all that.



Before the show I hit up THE WALDORF (Fitzroy Street,  St Kilda, near the Medina) to say what up the lovely front of house crew and ever so talented chefs. After a few drinks and a sensational serve of the double cooked pork belly I wondered down the road and hit up The Prince to check out GZA

Don't Ban The Can vs Herald Sun

leeched from the Herald Sun website.... don't believe the hype.
ANTI-graffiti campaigners have slammed a street-art festival that will give free lessons to wannabe graffiti artists.
Those who want to paint murals will get free tutorials in the CBD next Saturday as part of the Croft Alley Project.
While the organisers claim they are "council supported" and promoting legal graffiti art, protesters say their students will practise their new skills illegally.
Residents Against Graffiti Everywhere spokesman Steve Beardon slammed the five-hour Don't Ban The Can workshop to be held in the Croft Institute in Croft Alley.
Zero tolerance was the only way to curb illegal graffiti: "What's next, a diploma in vandalism, and how to destroy private property?" he said.
"Graffiti is a gateway crime that leads to burglary, drug dealing, gang formation and violence. If this is all we have to offer our youth, it's time we brought back national service."
But Don't Ban The Can and Croft Alley Project directors Jeremy and Matt, who preferred not to give their surnames, said their lessons were for over-18s, "council supported" and would educate about legal graffiti.
"This encourages legal art. If you just do a zero-tolerance policy . . . all that's going to do is destroy the legal graffiti side of things. The only option then if a kid wants to express himself creatively is to go out and do it illegally," Matt said.
"We will be stressing the point of legal art, trying to convince those who come along how good the art can be if you produce it legally."
But Matt conceded they couldn't guarantee that any attendees had not been convicted of vandalism.
Graffiti Hurts Australia spokesman Scott Hilditch said there was no way to make sure the workshop's students would stick to legal spraying.
"The issue with legal walls is that they don't work," he said.
"We don't have an issue with spray cans. What we do have an issue is with how people use them against people's properties without permission."
Last month the Herald Sun revealed graffiti artists from all over the world would travel to Melbourne in January for a $250,000 street art festival being run by Don't Ban the Can.

Merda

I remember seeing this on my first visit to Melbourne in 1991. It was painted in 1989 and 20 years on is still fresh, just goes to prove that style is king. Props.

Don't Ban The Can - let the good times roll

When: 12:00pm - 3:00am, September 12th Where: Croft Alley/ Croft Institute, China Town, Melbourne CBD


September 12th We Make Stuff Good, in collaboration with the Don’t Ban The Can, are bringing Melbourne’s street-art culture into the the world’s view. With artists sourced from across Australia, acclaimed performers and a great inner-city location, 2009’s DBTC is set is make 2008’s event (and most other ‘arts events’) look puny. If last year’s DBTC was all about reaction, then this year’s event is one of action.

Don’t Ban The Can, along one of Melbourne’s most revered underground bars, The Croft Institute, will be holding The Croft Alley Project, Don't Ban the Can 2009. Starting from midday, Croft alley will transform from one of grimiest inner-city back-alleys into a street-art festival. For a gold coin donation, the residents of Melbourne are invited to hit the streets and experience urban culture at its finest as DJs drop the best in hip-hop, dnb, afro-funk and dub-step on the masses.
