Swallow Bar review

We went to the much awaited Swallow Bar for a real visit, and here’s what it is like. The front section is quite cute. The booths look pretty good and it’s all nicely done, but the place is just too … Continue reading

Abandoned dreadlock Maylands

Budda lala land has all the proof (as if you needed it) that Mt Lawley is dead and Maylands is the place to be. A lone abandoned dreadlock. Yes the Rastas, the poodle owners and their entourage of Door Bitches … Continue reading

browesing with Bento

Sticking with the emerging theme of Maylands drunkards, Budda Lala Land sends this superb bit of Cash Twon-esque signwriting. Were the B, W and S already there, and they had to make the other letters fit? I wish the Heritage … Continue reading

The Worst of Perth can reveal Swallow – aka Madkuntz, aka Knobgoblins, aka Spitz – will open Sunday, July 1 (which is also Canada Day). How did we get this world scoop? We called Zoe and identified ourselves as a … Continue reading

Outrage Sunday 38 true blue

Massive excitement whizzing home in the Jizz on Friday when a car behind me, at first blush, looked like the Bento-mobile. The go-faster stripes look like the sort of thing an ageing Maylands rainmaker hipster would stick on his wheels. … Continue reading

Outrage Sunday 33 God’s shuttlecock
