FUNDRAISER!

The Caravan of Dooom fundraiser,
Friday August 20th, 7pm till late. $7.
289 Lygon St, East Brunswick. 
Enter via Zombie Dance Lane.

Join the Caravan of Dooom for one last show-biz cash-grab blow off before they hit the road for warmer climates on their first National tour!
Featuring extra- special guest bands and performers, this will be a night of colorful carnie chaos, in the elegant trash-bag decor of DIY East Brunswick venue Cat Food Press.
The metal-studded musical line up includes all-boy dirty psycho grunge stalwarts The Filthy Bourgeois, playing their first show in over two months! Joining them will be the sweet new sensation of all-girl flouro surf punk outfit Swimsuit Dynamite. Stabby Stabby Kill Kill will be bringing their dark comedy sludge rock to the stage, and opening it all will be the belt-tightening foot stomping blues of new Melbourne resident Mojo Juju, performing a steely solo set.
Peppering this musical feast with moments of awful genius will be a collection of the finest cabaret, sideshow and circus performers from beyond the Fringe, including new face Little Miss Rampage, sideshow stalwart the Great Gordo Gamsby, finely tuned vaudi-villain  Porcelain Punch, and with disruptions, explosions and experimentations from your dreadful hosts the Caravan of Dooom!

With a speakeasy set-up, and an early evening barbeque, this send-off for Melbourne's favourite circus pranksters is a night not to be missed!

Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle - watch yo self!

We've been hard at work here in the Caravan of Dooom HQ, fending off the shit eating bore-o-crats, and planning world domination. It's pretty exciting - 9 towns, 6 weeks, 5 festivals, 3 motorcycles, 1 caravan, Millions of cigarettes, tons of wheatpaste, shitloads of posters, 7000 kilometres, 2.5 nervous breakdowns, no budget, dozens of clothes pegs, 3 replacement jock straps, hopefully no police contact, 1 criminal record, 33 amazing sunrises, 24 laaaate nights, 1000's of stunned onlookers...

At least those are the projected figures. Yes that's right denizens of the underground - the DOOOM IS COMING! We're about to release our tour itinerary very soon, and it's gonna be red hot. Taking in the Brisbane festival, Sydney Fringe, TINA in Newcastle, Melbourne Fringe and the Bohemian Masquerade Ball, this is gonna be a hell of way to kick off summer. We're gonna tear the South East coast a new arsehole, so if you're a fan of the absurd and unusual, keep your eyes peeled.

The Ad: Dedicated wheatpaster sought to assist in world takeover attempt by incendiary circus pranksters. Requirements - ability to make wheatpaste, and good knowledge of local postering spots. Preferably able to see in dark, and come fully equipped with anti-cop radar.
