WIN a double pass to Last Night’s spooky Black Friday!

Friday 13^th is fast approaching (in fact, it’s tomorrow) so we’re advising you to not take a trip to your parent’s cabin that’s next door to the haunted summer camp or visit that town made entirely out of wax.  If you’re thinking “gosh darn it, there goes all my plans” never fear because this Black Friday LAST NIGHT is throwing a HORROR MOVIE PARTY!

There will be cheap entry for every single person who dresses up as someone from their favourite horror movie and prizes for the best costume – so get your friends together human centipede style. And just in case you forget there will be fake blood for everyone who comes through the door!

Slaughtering through the speakers will be Melbourne trio BUTCHER BLADES whose electro pop with a sweet calypso twist is enough to make Freddy Krueger ditch his striped sweater for a Hawaiian shirt and a set of maracas.

HUMP DAY PROJECT and MIKE WHO will be slaying the dance floor with party jams to make your head spin a full 360° while PhDJ, RANDALL STAGG and CRIES WOLF DJS keep the haunted house party sweating like a busty D grade actress running away from her certain death.

Thanks to Lost In Suburbia and the good people of Purple Sneakers, we have a double pass to the most horrifying night at the Gaelic ever up for grabs!

To win, simply email your name to win@lostinsuburbia.com.au 

Entries close tonight (Thursday 12th May 2011) at midnight!

Remember; whatever you do don’t fall asleep.

Last Night: A Very Purple Sneakers New Years!

How are you ringing in the Last Night of 2010? Over the past five years Purple Sneakers and FBi have joined forces to bring the biggest and baddest New Years Eve shindig in Sydney. And this year, they are at it again with LAST NIGHT: A New Years Eve House Party & Official FBi 94.5 Fundraiser.

This year though, there are a few changes. Instead of sweating balls in the multi level Manning Bar, the event is going back to its roots in the newly renovated, air conditioned comfort of the Gaelic Club.

Here’s what the event reps had to say about it:

“This coming New Years Eve sees FBi 94.5 and Purple Sneakers shining a spotlight on what it’s all about: the local music community partying in a well loved local music establishment with up and coming acts who will all become household names over the coming years.

FBi 94.5 will also be selecting one brand new band from their monthly Open Day to kick off the night. Open Day is the station’s longest running initiative and has been responsible for discovering some of the FBi’s favourite acts.

And most importantly, rather than being just another NYE party, Last Night: A New Years Eve House Party will be an Official FBi 94.5 Fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Sydney station. So not only are partygoers getting a super cheap party right in the heart of Sydney (and right next to Central Station) they are doing something positive by helping FBi 94.5 remain the vibrant hub of the local independent music scene.”

DATE: Friday 31st December
VENUE: The Gaelic, Devonshire Street, Surry Hills
TIME: 8pm til Dawn
PRICE: $29 OR $24 for FBI supporters (+BF). Tix on sale Thurs 2nd Dec through Moshtix.com.au
