By Elly is excited to announce that she will be performing support for Melbourne's unique cinematic and electronic experiment WE ARE WEAPONS. She is lucky enough to also be playing in the main event as part of a collaborative effort with Little Audrey and Deja.
As if the night wasnt amazing enough, Osh10 is second support for the night! An electronic experimental cinematic night not to be missed!!!!!

We Are Weapons

2011-10-29T16:19:00.000+11:00

from the same creative mind who produced, shot & cut my Seagulls music film clip comes the next chapter of 'We Are Weapons'

Born from the creative mind of Nature, the Weapon had a very pronounced sadistic streak and amplified it's host's darkest desires. What a prodigy.

WE ARE WEAPONS: PART TWO

A collaborative live cinema exhibition depicting the contrast and continuity that nature and technology have together.

Featuring enigmatic musical performances by DEJA, By Elly and Little Audrey.

With supporting acts to be announced, it is something I want everyone to see, and a night I believe is not to be missed!

Love,

Josh Harris

2011-08-05T14:27:00.001+10:00

last monday i saw james blake at the prince bandroom

it was

out of this world

the best thing i got out of the whole performance was seeing how unique and powerful James' voice actually is

i was a little wary of his voice knowing that it not at all times very strong and powerful

but let me tell you

that is an effect he is doing

he let loose with complete control

and held back with utter beauty

i know that sounds a tad lame

but you werent there so shut up

it was sensational!

now i want this

anyone want to buy my boss VE-20 so i can get a head start on the $1000 price tag?

ugh

weekend

2011-07-21T15:40:00.000+10:00

2010-10-06T11:09:00.000+11:00

but i was browsing ebay to find a summer bike

and stumbled across the bike i desired

bid on it

then read this

"assembly is female friendly"

does that mean that it is written in english

with an audio tape version

that gives you the option of half time so the words are super slow

for our female minds to understand

how

the

fuck

put

your

bike

together

anyway

i still bid on it and i hope i win

not my people, not my world

i heard the cries

I ignored the pain

I watched the fall

and I did nothing

im cold

turned inside out

not my people, not my world

i am 21 now

when did this happen

apparently last week

mum and dad surprised me for my birthday

the week with them was the best week in melbourne ive had

in the 3 years ive been here

im realising things

as a 21 year old

im going to start taking my music more seriously

if i want it i have to look at it as my job

because that is what it is

meanwhile

im still in a state of heaven from the pvt show at the corner
i got this one off youtube of the actual show i was at
front row

such a tease!
