universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:46 pm

The latest Off Beat at Workshop features some of the biggest names in the history of the world.

On the cards:

SNOOP DOGG
WHITEBOYZ
JEFF BUCKLEY
DIEGO MARADONA
MALA SWING
METALLICA WITH AN ORCHESTRA
HITLER!
Britney Spears
Custards, one of the world's biggest new artists
Sonic Youth playing an acoustic mandolin and bongo set
Foreigner
Ace is Bass
Queen Latifa
Humour from David Letterman
and cycling tips for a nice toned ass by Lance Armstrong

We have live pyrotechnics which we launch off Workshop's open deck, and a 20,000 watt sound system with a wall of subwoofers that your mama will be proud of.

The evening is hosted by Mr. T.

Also on the cards are:

MS. IDES
QAMMOH (further disguising his camo identity)
TIGGA & BLAKE (only one will live past this night)
LEPHRENIC (playing space rock)
SEA (playing orchestral, ambient, and coffin inducing downtempo)

IDM, downtempo, hip-hop, trip-hop, orchestral, breaks and electro lounge sounds are to be expected.

All this and more for $160+BF, which gives you half-priced cocktails for the first 25 minutes. You will enjoy the luxury of our 3-star toilets, and the possible introduction of Australia's first Midget Bar.

At the BBQ we will be burning effigies of popular political and religious figure heads.

You will not have more fun, because fun is no more than a three letter word.

Hope to see you there..

Any confirmation yet on Lil Jon?

Depends if he lowers his asking price for a deposit.

What about Biggie Smalls?

Look, I don't have access to everybody. Workshop can only fit a certain number of egos, and a certain allotment of gasses from Lephrenic.

Tomorrow we shall meet, young Tigga.

I'm getting big on Ennio Morricone lately. For 15 years I've been familiar with his uplifting masterpiece, Ecstasy of Gold, which has opened every single Metallica concert for the past 20 years. There is nothing like it in the history of music.

Morricone is known for crafting the soundtracks to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, as well as The Untouchables, Lolita, and nearly a hundred more.

At the next Off Beat, I'm dropping this absolutely amazing, haunting, powerful 2 minute piece called Deus Irae Psychadelico. He has dozens of excellent operatic and off beat pieces.

Check him out. www.enniomorricone.com

Snoop Doggy Dogg added to Off Beat lineup!

After his recent show at Good Vibrations, the Doggfather returns to Australia to act the part of pimp in the new urban crime drama "Mah Bitch Betta Have Mah Money" by acclaimed film director Geoffrey Wright.

We've managed to coax Snoop away from the set for the evening of April 1st, to give us a taste of his other musical side projects.

Despite his fame as a hip hop artist, few know of Snoop's work with such luminaries as the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and punk rockers They Might Be Vaginas, or his recitals of electronic works by Percy Grainger.

When asked how he thinks his Off Beat performance will be received, Snoop replied "For shizzle, yo. I'm a bust it like these nuts."

Nice work Hegg, he was a tricky bastard to add.

Flyers and posters circulating this week. Shit that we couldn't add Snoop Dogg's name on time.

And yes on Silhouette of Doom!

Due to popular demand we've added interpretive dancing to the bill, highlighted by stunning, sensual performances from J-GAL, G-NAT, SYSTEM (NSW) and J-MR.

My mother used to manufacturer merkins and merkin T-shirts with my aunt... chest wigs are perfectly acceptable.

System - last time I saw you, it was in NSW, and you were living in a nice house there. Accept the consequences of your decisions!

my mate does a great interpretive dance, of the life of an oak tree, from acorn to table.

We requested he re-run the breathtaking display as we waited for his bride to be to show up at the altar on saturday and he pretended not to hear us.

I hope that the dancers produce quality of similair nature, such that one is reduced to tears.

Sounds good as always, will try to make it down.

Britney's out of rehab now, albeit with a young chicken's hair cut. So she's going to be up for partying like the sex addict she is.

Jeff Buckley added to Off Beat lineup!

Despite being presumed dead for the last nine years, Jeff Buckley was recently found to be alive and living quietly in the regional Australian town of Yass, instantly ending speculation as to why no one had heard from him all this time.

"It's a nice enough place," he said, "but not much going on. I mean, the chicks love it when I sing 'Black Beauty' to them in the car or wherever, but then you meet their families. All of a sudden, spawning doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore."

We saw fit to invite Jeff to play Off Beat this April 1st, as a way of providing him a modest return to the musical stage.

"Sure," he said. "Will there be much pussy?"

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 9:14 pm

He should have come last Saturday night.

Wow we're nearly running low on 8 minute sets.

Speaking of monkeys, we have signed former footballing legend and admitted cheat Diego Maradona to speak out at Off Beat. He is expected to provide a positive message on the perils of drug & alcohol abuse, as well as how to sneak a fast one past any type of goal.

"You Australians don't know shit about cocaine," it says in his press release. "I will show you some things," he continues, before winking. "But only if you show me some things too."
