Wednesday September the 11th ~

We're home from the sublime finale of Broken Heel Festival, after some surreal explorations on the Slag Heap and far beyond. I'm ready now for this week of escalating insanity, all of which is free.
It begins this evening at Palmer & Co. 10 til 1.30.


Friday September the 13th ~

Pack yr pipe and smoke on over to El Primo Sanchez in Paddo as the weekend begins, ready to feast on Mexican food and drink before shaking it all off on their psychedelic dancefloor. This is my first late set in the venue and it will unfold between 9 and 2.


Saturday September the 14th ~

Jack Off operates on the smell of an oily rag and will light up any last synapses illuminating where the hell we go from here, from 3 til 5 on FBi Radio.
Thence things get loud and late, via Newtown's Pleasure Club, a place almost as strange as the old Taxi in Darlo - just newer and sadly compelled to close before sunrise. My debut bracket at this demented dive bar begins at midnight, finishes at 4.

Crumbling George Town concrete to the corrugated iron of Broken Hill, a strange Spring wandering.


Wednesday September the 4th ~

I've only a single Sydney gig this week, my usual caffeine-fuelled late-night lark at Palmer & Co between 10pm and about 1.30am. It's always free.


Friday September the 6th ~

Then, about two hours after I hit the hay, it'll be time to rise and slime over to Central Station to rendezvous with the utter reprobates catching the Silver Stiletto train to Broken Hill for the final Broken Heel Festival.

This is my third consecutive pilgrimage west - but my first via this cosmic, performance-saturated, 14-hour-long train ride. I'm both honoured to be playing again - and gutted that the festival wraps up here, on the 30th anniversary of the release of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
That said, the Sistine Chapel of Australian pubs, The Palace, has revolutionary renos planned - and the local licensee and custodian of culture Esther could probably do with a wee break too frankly.

Before we realised 2024 was to be the ultimate festival, Liz Ham and I had been doggedly pushing for a comprehensive capturing of the legacy of this radical regional testament to our queer country. Thankfully Liz's photos of this year's shenanigans will later be published in Australian Geographic, alongside the inimitable written record/s of local ratbag Jack Marx.

We're all-in. I'll start spinning from the Priscilla bus from 6 til 9 (before Marcia Hines) for the Friday Frock On or Frock Off. If yr gonna be out back partying, come say g'day!


Saturday September the 7th ~

Back in the Big Smoke Jonny Seymour will be hosting Jack Off on FBi between 3 and 5. I'll try to call in with word from the wilds before backing up at Broken Heel, kicking off the post-Silverton Saturday Night Shindig from the bus beside the pub at 6.


Sunday September the 8th ~

My musical finale for Broken Heel will be the Bloody Mary Moo Moo Morning, from 9am inside the pub - before the hordes head to Silverton, where everyone from The Huxleys to Dandrogyny and Sexy Galexy will be carrying on like flamin' galahs! Wish us (p)luck!
