It truely was one hell of a night and will live forever etched in my memory as the night the 80s came back to Brisbane Town.<br /><br />To top everything off Boom Crash Opera opened the night's proceedings. When they ripped out their rendition of onion skin my excitement was clearly there for all to see.

You may have noticed some pretty rad shots in our store and on the gaytime website. But, there were loads of shots that you haven't yet had a chance to see. We were so impressed by some of them we thought that it was only fair that we share them all with you. Our favourite model on the day was Bekky...this girl has skills.

I was excited to say the least. I had built this day up to be potentially the best day of my life and you know something it has to be said it most likely was.<br /><br />The days proceedings kicked off at about 3pm with one of my favourite bands Mental as Anything. They churned out all their classic hits and didn't skip a beat which was pretty impressive considering it was like ten thousand degrees celcius on main stage. The crowd and I officially went crazy when they played live it up and the nips are getting bigger. I ended up putting my VIP pass to good use by getting a photo with the band....this photo will be going straight to the pool room.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407123745937309634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 228px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YZeMCjfBcf0/Swn2ZhUsP8I/AAAAAAAAAEc/CPDiig1nPZc/s320/concert110001.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />Just when I thought the day couldn't get any better it clearly did. No it wasn't because I was onto my second bottle of wine by this stage but hey that helped. The main reason for my excitement was that The Proclaimers were on main stage. I found it hard to hide my excitement when they played 500 miles and I believe I was spotted with an invisible air guitar on a number of occasions. The crowd as a whole burst into one giant orgasm of pleasure which sure was a site to behold. I managed to get a rad as photo with Charlie too....rock on!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407124759864532370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YZeMCjfBcf0/Swn3Uifx3ZI/AAAAAAAAAEk/owjAuQ5u0eg/s320/concert150001.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />Finally, when I thought the day could not get any better, it did. 3 bottles of wine in the B-52's were on. Love shack and Rock Lobster never sounded so good and I was clearly working up a sweat Jane Fonda style.<br /><br />All in all what a great day. My Reebok Pumps have never had such a workout. I strongly urge you if get the chance to go see all 3 of these bands in action, they rule!klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-59376601626425937442009-11-16T00:08:00.000-08:002009-11-16T00:16:43.196-08:00MC Hammer is back!Ever wondered what happened to the Hammer? well I always did.

I've reached the point where one decides to grow his hair or to get the dreaded snip. I must say it was a sad day when I got my mullet of 3 years cut off. I do very much miss it, as do the ladies of course. <br /><br />I've decided to create a pros and cons list to growing back my mullet.<br /><br />Pros:<br />* The ladies love mullets<br />* Keeps me warm in the o so cold winter nights<br />* It makes me run faster....it's a fact, just like red cars go faster than all other cars.<br />* No costume needed when attending 80's parties.<br /><br />Cons:<br />* Apparently mullets are for bogans? not too sure about this one though.<br />* Takes 1 hour of hair grooming each and every morning to get it looking just right...time well speat though if you ask me.<br />* Makes me look a tad bit feminine. However, it could be suggested I'm getting in touch with the woman inside me....apparently the ladies love this?!<br /><br />I'll keep you posted as to what I decide....klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-70095942729615576052009-10-15T22:51:00.001-07:002009-10-15T23:15:27.844-07:00Webster wannabe?Yeah so I read the paper this morning and saw some kid in America had flown into the air in some balloon thing. My question is however was he just trying to copy Webster's heroics of the late 80's? I would have to go as far as suggesting yes, he also resembles the great Webster too.

I had to rub my eyes a couple of times when I saw the lineup of bands.....Mental as Anything, The Proclaimers and the B-52's. I'm excited to say the least.
<br />
<br />Having recently only just seen Mental as Anything at last years Expo 88 20th anniversary I am more than keen to see them in action again. As for the the Proclaimers well their Sunshine on Leith was the first album I purchased as a youngster all the way back in 1988. The B-52's, Love shack baby! enough said.
<br />
<br />So this Summer is looking to be a great one on the band front. Unfortunately for those eager to get their tickets this concert has only just recently sold out. Roll on November!
<br />
<br />Sneak preview of the B52's in action:

I'd like to suggest yes. But who was the funniest and most likeable character on the show? For me it really had to be Nudge. The man was a true Aussie legend and was quite clearly the funniest man this country has ever seen. Some of his one liners were simply briliant.
<br />
<br />On the other hand however there was Betty. Clearly not the brightest light in the harbour but still pulled out the funnies show after show afer show.
<br />
<br />Why are we asking these questions I hear you ask? well to honour the greatness of the show we have decided to make a hey dad t-shirt in some capacity. Take the poll on our homepage so we can find out who was your favourite character from the show.

The new website launch contained a lot of initial similarities to their website which we intended in order to stir their proverbial pot. (You'll notice a lot of these similarities disappear over the weeks to come as we put our own stamp on our website which was always our intention.) <br /><br />We'll from here on in let our product do the talking but we love it when a good plan comes together. We have seen our hits go from 500 a day to literally being tripled over night.

You know the one where the kid says 'if it wasn't for snak pack get stuffed!?' Well that's what I always thought the kid was saying but it turns out that wasn't in fact the case. It was in fact 'if it wasn't for snak pack a kid'd starve!'.<br /><br />Anyway, I remember all the cool kids ate snak packs and as soon as you saw them eating it you'd spew out the line ' if it wasn't for snak pack a kid'd starve'. Ah the memories, you just don't get ad's like this one anymore.<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rs4_nNTmzCQ&hl=" fs="1&" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed>klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-46770070183728168532009-08-05T22:30:00.001-07:002009-08-05T22:34:13.247-07:00a change is as good as a holidayYeah so we're not going on a holiday. Sad for us no doubt. However, the good news is that we're changing or evolving if you will. You may have noticed the new website pop up last week. We're thinking it's looking quite sharp and are happy with how it's turned out. There's still more changes to come with a whole stack of new tees etc. But that'll be later in the month. We're pretty excited.<br /><br />We've also lowered our prices which we're hoping a lot of you guys will be happy with. You'll be able to buy more with your coin which is only a good thing during the GFC AKA recession. More updates to come as they unfold.klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-45566443852141496362009-07-16T00:42:00.000-07:002009-07-16T00:45:19.702-07:00time for a change<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YZeMCjfBcf0/Sl7aD8KFxiI/AAAAAAAAACs/naG6Pj38oX0/s1600-h/logo1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 102px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YZeMCjfBcf0/Sl7aD8KFxiI/AAAAAAAAACs/naG6Pj38oX0/s320/logo1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358960367840380450" border="0" /></a><br />Yeah so we're changing our image. What's the best way to do this you may wonder? well we thought we'd opt for a newly designed logo. We feel it looks pretty sharp and it replaces the dated old logo we had which we were kind of bored with. Along with the new logo will come a new website and a lot of other changes. You're excited right? good you should be.klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-52113154122555529792008-02-25T16:03:00.000-08:002008-02-25T16:07:15.191-08:00klub retro tries its hand at football jerseysWhen asked if I could produce some football jerseys for my football team I thought sure why not. I've always been a fan of early 80s jerseys and wanted to try my hand in replocating this look for my fortunate football team.<br /><br />I'm still in the early stages of the design. The fabric has been chosen and the general print layout of the jersey has been decided upon. Next step is to get a sample made which will be completed this coming Thursday. Very excited about seeing the end result of these jerseys, thinking these will turn out very nicely and will be great to see klub retro entering the world of jersey production.<br /><br />Will keep you posted on the final resultklub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-51283956705191441372008-02-05T13:26:00.001-08:002008-02-05T13:42:12.550-08:00a new home for klub retro<a href="http://i6.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/ba/55/12c4_1_sbl.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i6.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/ba/55/12c4_1_sbl.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Searching for a shop premise is not as easy as it may sound, assuming you think it sounds easy of course. But there is a severe lack of quality sites and reasonable prices here in Brisbane. After a failed attempt to open a store a year ago in the TCB centre in Fortitude Valley it is time again for klub retro to spread its wings and fly as it were.<br /><br />This time we have a site on Grey St in Southbank in our sites. However, I am told these things always take time and 8 months after initial negotitions took place I for once am beginning to get somewhat frustrated. What is it with real estate agents and their higher power? are they paid in order to fuck you around? some times it sure feels like it.<br /><br />Anyway, we are staying strong and all being well we will see klub retro open its first flagship store here in Brisbane this year sometime.<br /><br />What will this mean to the klub retro consumer? well it'll mean you'll be able to look like you walked straight out of Back to the Future instantly as well as having our full range of clothing available for purchase at your fingertips. We will also be stocking other old skool labels of sorts and we will definately be the number 1 shop in Brisbane for all things retro / vintage.....watch this space.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452471453022632091.post-34081533481358077582008-02-04T13:43:00.000-08:002008-02-04T13:51:59.735-08:00I hate Jay JaysI really hate it when big chain stores cash in on certain fashions. Who's the latest to do this you ask? yes that's right...Jay Jay's. Who are they you might be asking if you do not reside in the land downunder. Jay Jay's are a cheap ass so called fashion store that sell the run of the mill everyday crap, however of late they have decided to cash in on the retro/vintage wear that has become so popular of recent years.<br /><br />Why does this make me so angry you might ask? well for a store that's never stocked anything other than no name brand clothing since forever to now stock retro tees is clearly just these guys cashing in on the retro clothing market and prostituting the name of retro. How does this affect the retro clothing market as a whole? well because Jay Jay's sell their range so cheap and nasty it brings the whole retro clothing industry down a notch.<br /><br />I for one have never shopped at Jay Jay's in my life however because these guys sell their stuff so cheap people seem to flock in there. What I say to these people is shop there if you must but avoid the cheap retro tees. If you need to buy retro but quality retro and do not prostitute the name of retro, thanks for your time.klub_retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879170709113693401noreply@blogger.com2
