The Adelaide Fringe has landed…
We just love what happens to the city during the Adelaide Fringe. More people out and about, being delighted at the huge number of performing and visual arts events – Adelaide really comes into it’s own. And another thing’s for sure, the Fringe doesn’t want you to forget about it for the duration of the festival which is why we’re inviting you to welcome our most recently landed citizens – look up, look around but keep looking – you never know where they are going to pop up next!

Opening Night Line Up… Feb 19, 2010
We know that we just can’t keep our mouths shut about it but it’s because we’re just so darn excited! Check out the Adelaide Fringe Opening Night Line Up below. Tell your friends and catch the bus in to Rymill Park. Kicking off at 8.30pm on Friday Feb 19 – the 2010 Opening Night is going to be HUGE! And don’t forget, the fifth element of the line up will be decided on Friday 5 Feb @ the SPIN OFF DJ Battle.
ART VS SCIENCE
There is a reason why night clubs play the music they do: it’s the right tempo for dancing, it’s got hook lines you can sing along to, and a beat steady enough hypnotise. Art vs. Science not only makes the sort of music played in nightclubs; it is one of the few outfits in Australia which can actually play in night clubs – live. No laptops, no backing tracks, just drums, keyboards, synths and three sets of funky hands.
“An expression of their long immersion in the dark, seedy recesses of club-electronica”, Art vs Science breathe fresh air into the genre, with an immediate, breath-taking live show, and songs that sound pleasing, joy-inducing; as if meticulously designed, element by element, to intensify user stimulation. Art vs. Science plays, people listen. And they *understand*.

KILLAQUEENZ
KillaQueenz are one of the most promising Hip Hop acts coming out of Australia right now. They are renowned for their high energy shows and unrivalled dedication to the art. Hailing from Uganda and Belize, Kween G and Belizean Bombshell draw inspiration from their respective homelands to bring a fresh sound to the Australian Hip Hop scene.
The girls first met at the 2000 Olympic Games where they were individually performing and through a passion of Hip Hop music KillaQueenz was formed. Since their formation KQ have performed across the country and supported the likes of Public Enemy, South Rakkas Crew, Lady Gaga, Shapeshifter, Tha Alkaholiks, Bone Thugs N Harmony, NASA, Lucky Dube and many more.
Their live performance consists of rhymes, beat boxing, dancing and the raw energy that only KQ can deliver. Expect the unexpected and keep it locked for KillaQueenz.
Check out: www.myspace.com/killarqueenz or their new clip for Double Up
THE KILLGIRLS
The Killgirls are a 5 piece rocktronic timebomb ticking in Adelaide, South Australia. This synth heavy indie grid-rock band are gaining momentum having picked up national airplay in Australia (Triple J-Home and Hosed/Super Request) and supports for Art vs Science, End of Fashion, Bang Bang Eche, Oh Mercy!, Hercules in NY and The Bumblebeez.
“..saw these guys at Fuse Fest this year – great energy – reminded me of Midnight Juggernauts but a hell of a lot more pumped up…” Nick Findlay, Triple J
“The Killgirls played an amazing set (supporting the Bumblebeez). Everyone rushed to the dance floor as soon as they came on and stayed there the entire performance. The front man had a real stage presence and I hope they start getting some real exposure because they have star quality.” Richard Holt, Traffik
Get ready for these home town heroes who know how to rock out!

CANVAS KITES
From the very recently smouldering, and unconfirmed ashes of Sydney sonic indie darlings Mercy Arms, comes another project with a sharp sensibility. Canvas Kites, a newly hatched three piece, sees vocalist/axeman Thom Moore swapping the brooding reverb pedal for something more akin to a sunny late-80s jangle.
Canvas Kites appear pretty damn dapper in their new skin, and are well schooled in the sounds they’re splashing round in. Look forward to seeing where the road leads these three!

Street Dreams create box mural
Awesome artist collective Street Dreams created a live mural painting during the official 2010 Guide launch on top of the Advertiser building. The theme of the artwork was based on how Adelaide would look in 2060.
Artists included Sam Evans, Nickas, Gary Seaman, Matthew Stuckey, with Street Dreamers Tim Grisbrook, Ankle and Matt Walker.
Street Dreams will be a two day urban art festival in Adelaide Fringe 2010, running March 6 – 7. More info: streetdreams.com.au

Furnish the Fringe!
We want to take you back in time, but we need your help. This year the Fringe crew are building a 1950s suburban backyard as part of our festivities and we are calling for donations of era-appropriate furniture. If you have any tucked away getting dusty in the shed give us a call on 8231 9031.

2010 Fringe Guide Launch
The 2010 Adelaide Fringe Guide was launched this morning on The Advertiser rooftop. Despite soaring temperatures, we were even graced by a visit from our Astro mascot. Christie Anthoney and Sandy Verschoor took care of the proceedings, despite an interruption of Christie’s full Fringe Guide rundown from the Kurruru Dancers. Check out Fringe staff below or click them for more pics on flickr.
If you weren’t lucky enough to attend, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to pick up a copy in Saturday’s The Advertiser.

Sneak peek at the 2010 Merch range
So everyone has that friend, who gets so excited about buying you a gift that they just can’t contain it any longer, and they simply tell you what they got you. At the Fringe, we are that friend. Which is why we thought it appropriate to share with you the awesome 2010 threads which go on sale from 9 January 2010 (along with tickets and the release of the free Fringe Guide). We can’t tell you much more (because the Fringe Gods will get cranky at us, spilling secrets and all). Only that they will be available online or from the Da Costa Arcade Venue*Tix outlet. Stoked.

The Adelaide Fringe Street Theatre is seeking a South Australian street artist or collective who want the opportunity to create a new roving or static street performance.
The commission grant will contribute to the development of a new performance, which will debut at the Adelaide Fringe 2010. The copyright of the work remain with the artist/s, and it is anticipated that they will continue to develop and present the work beyond the Fringe.

We have lift off: 2010 Poster Launched!
The Adelaide Fringe 2010 Poster Launch went off on Friday November 6! Beginning at 11am, there were a few problems for guests trying to find a park due to the unprecedented interest in the Quilting and Craft Fair, also held at Adelaide Exhibition & Event Centre. Nevertheless, distinguished guests and other arts types arrived and the speeches were soon underway. After hearing from Judy Potter, Chair Adelaide Fringe, The Honourable John Hill, Minister Assisting the Premier for the Arts, Rob Chapman and Chris Ward from BankSA and Christie Anthoney, Adelaide Fringe Director, guests were then encouraged to ‘follow the light’ towards a giant glowing bubble at the rear of the huge aircraft hangar-like space.
The Bubble’s entrance was through two air-locks, however all made it through safely. Once in the Bubble, guests were treated to an aria by Opera singer Joanna McWaters. As she reached her crescendo, the front section of the space peeled away to reveal the astronaut walking towards them. The soundtrack, provided by DJ Tr!p, then announced the landing of the astronaut as a HUGE 6m poster dropped from the ceiling. There were gasps, followed by applause. Check out the video shot by PK from Rip It Up below.
Sneak Peek – 2010 Fringe Poster
The Fringe Office’s collective pulse accelerated yesterday as some large posters were delivered by VisualCom. Of course, we had to make sure that nothing was out of place so we just had to have a sneak peek. We can tell you it’s looking HOT! You can see the Marketing Team above sealing the product back up.
There’s only a week until Poster Launch, next Friday November 6 at the Adelaide Event and Exhibition Centre (AKA the Wayville Showgrounds!) – it’s going to be a blast. If you were lucky enough to secure an invitation for one of the favourite events on the Adelaide Arts scene calendar, you should let us know if you can make it! A reminder that today is the due dates for RSVPs.
Come the time when all is revealed, the Fringe Staff will breathe a sigh of relief as the cat will be out of the bag…
