Join the facebook event as well: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=135405350308&ref=share

We will aim to critique the wave of responses to capitalism’s current predicament. It is an opportunity to collectivelly analyse it’s ‘new clothes’. As ordinary people ourselves, it is a chance to strategise together for solidarity with emerging and ongoing struggles for workers’ autonomy and control, peoples’ freedom of movement, sustainability, sovereignty and self determination.

This month's performers TBA.

--------

On the last Thursday of every month we have an acoustic show in the Fanya Baron Library at Jura Books.

Bring a piece of wood with strings, a tube with holes, your humble vocal chords or just your ears to listen. There’ll be a headline performer, but aside from that, the night is open to whoever turns up. If we get enough people then we may even spread downstairs for some spoken word, poetry or just another performance space.

At every event vegetarian food and refreshments are available. Donations are appreciated to pay Jura’s mortgage and other bills.

This month's Juracoustic is merging with the Limited Express (Has Gone?) + Ni Hao! (2 bands from Japan!) show that was meant to be taking place at Dirty Shirlows.

That means there’ll be Juracoustic downstairs and punk bands upstairs!

It will start at the usual time of 7pm. We gotta fit in about 7 bands/artists (possibly more?) in about two and a half hours so come early!

If you want to go upstairs for the bands, we’re asking for $10 entry (it costs a lot of money to come from Japan) but if you’re only coming for Juracoustic the usual $5 donation will be very very much appreciated.

So.. playing the downstairs Juracoustic couch will be:

A Dire Dawn - www.myspace.com/dewandair
di drew all sad all acoustic all of the time. it's her last night living in sydney & she's going out with a whimper i promise

New Caledonian Blue - www.myspace.com/myjobcfcob
Elliott Smith shakes hands with the Chicago blues; hands made, mostly, of violin strings.

Let the Concrete Crumble - www.myspace.com/nineteeneightynein
newest acoustic guise of the worldly Novacastrian haiku master Mark Whittaker

Playing the Fanya Baron Library will be:

Limited Express (Has Gone?) (Japan)

Ni-Hao! (Japan)

To the North (Brisbane)

Hira Hira

The night will take a form sort of like: band upstairs, acoustic downstairs, band upstairs, acoustic downstairs, etc etc. While bands are playing upstairs, feel free to make as much music noise as you want downstairs. Singalongs, open mic, all that usual stuff.

There should also be food available by donation as usual as well.

Thanks. Hope to see you there!
