PARTYING WITH
PURPLE SNEAKER DJS
Who’s your all time favourite artist to perform alongside at a festival with? Look, it’s no secret that we are really good friends with the Bluejuice lads. Aside from being lovely, hilarious, handsome and talented they are also one of the hardest working live bands out so it’s hard not to respect and enjoy that.
What festival would you like to play that you haven’t yet?
Those crazy lads Martin Novosel (PhDJ) and Randall Stagg started the legendary Purple Sneakers club a good five years ago and have now pretty much taken over the world. They’ve supported the likes of Miike Snow, Bloc Party, Odd Future, The Rapture and more and have played Big Day Out, Parklife, Field Day, Splendour In The Grass and Groovin’ The Moo to name a few. We get the lowdown from Randall on their festivities.
Well we have almost played them all so I think I’m going to have to go outside of the country and think global domination worldwide and go with Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.
Tell us what happens backstage at festivals - any big secrets or rumours you could confirm? All the gnarly shit you can imagine is true. Yes, Flava Flav ate some food backstage from the catering area. There was also a golf cart incident involving Martin and Jo from Big Scary. Matt Corby is a hugger and Hermitude are the nicest people alive. In the end of it all, you get that much excitement backstage and combine it with an abundance of alcohol and baby, it’s on.
What’s it like being on a festival tour, are you guys on red bull all the time or what?
Easily the Groovin’ The Moo tour earlier this year. Everyone was just ready to do it and because it was a touring festival it meant you got to make friends with so many people from the merch dudes to the other acts on the festival.
Sometimes there are moments where you think “I really need to crash here, I’m exhausted” and then someone you know comes running past your tent and suddenly you’re up on your feet again because you do not want to miss out on a thing. Everyone being together keeps the energy going.
What is the most awkward experience you’ve had at a festival?
Any other crazy shit to add about festivals?
We broke a couple of laws recently that are best left unexplained.
Everyone needs to experience a festival at least once. There is so much variety happening in this country in terms of lineups and the frequency of festivals, there really is something for everyone.
You guys have played some pretty huge festivals - what are the standouts?
Martin - took HIS dad to GTM this year - what was that experience like? Randall are you gonna be all over that in the near future for festivals you guys play? Mr Novosel was proud as punch. Aside from the fact the guy is an absolute legend, I think it was really cool he got to see his son in action. As for my parents attending a festival, absolutely. They are both very musical people and I know they’ve been excited to see a show, I’m just mindful of picking the right one.
What festival tips would you give to punters for the summer best outfit ideas, drinks, getting on stage, crazy shit... Seriously, it sounds ridiculous but the most important one is to give a shit. You should give a shit about the acts you watch, you should give a shit about your friends and everyone else in that festival. Get a vibe of community. Marty and I have always been about doing whatever we want in a considerate fashion so that’s how everyone else should play it out. Also, if you are anywhere near as pale as I am, buy some fucking sun-screen.

CINEMA UNDER THE STARS As summer kicks off, big screens are popping up all over the city where cinephiles can unfurl the picnic blanket and lawn chairs, wait for the sun to set and enjoy a hit movie.
Rooftop Movies Nestled in a pink flamingo-festooned artificial oasis on top of the Roe Street carpark and boasting a program of cinematic icons and cult classics - and a licensed bar – Rooftop Movies is an urban cineaste’s dream. Running ‘til the end of April 2013, the six months’ worth of programs will be released one month at a time but expect a lot more old-school film favourites, cinephile classics, cult and art house movies and B-grade schmaltz every night of the week. Rooftop Movies is located in the open air, sixth floor roof of the Roe Street car park in Northbridge. Hit up rooftopmovies.com.au for full details.

Located off Great Eastern Highway in Burswood, the cinema is staffed by volunteers and screens a huge range of kid friendly flicks plus plenty of new releases for adults. If you feel like getting a little bit fancy, indulge in La Grassiere, a premium seating area that comes with a Blue Cow cheese pack, mini Magnums and beer, wine or soft drink. A few years ago the folks at Movies By Burswood opened their second cinema, Movies By Stirling, located at the Stirling Civic Gardens on Cedric Street.

Perhaps Perth’s most picturesque outdoor cinema, Moonlight is nestled in the Synergy Parkland in Kings Park, and is renowned for screening blockbusters night after night. Running from December through ’til March, Moonlight has its own catering department so if you don’t have time to pack a picnic basket, just pick up a snack or something more substantial when you arrive. If the thought of sitting propped up against an esky all night is enough to make you want to stay home, fear not, because Moonlight punters can hire designer bean beds or indulge in the Intel Gold Grass, which offers premium viewing locations and a glass of wine and a bean bed on arrival.
