25.01.2022 Happy Sunday! We hope everyone has had a fulfilling weekend. Whether that involves sitting on the couch vegging out, or working your butt off, its all relevant! We know that for many, Sunday marks the end of the weekend. A wistful day filled with both happiness (because its the weekend) and sorrow (because its Monday tomorrow). ... But for some, Sunday marks the beginning of the weekend! Thats right, we havent forgotten about those dedicated hospitality workers that fuel the weekend restaurant outings, bar hoppings, or entertainment goings. So this post is dedicated to those of you who keep those weekend wheels turning. Gear up the start of your weekend with this absolute wall-to-wall banger of a set by Pebbles and BamBam! For those of you that were present at Pebbles and BamBams set during the Afternoon Delight, youd know just how well these two played the audience like the dedicated music meistros they are. They seamlessly blend their own styles of tech house and bass into a writhing, almost-alive sound that encapsulates you into moving like youre in an Olivia Newton John music video. Chuck this on at any time of the day if youre feeling low on hype; doctors orders Glove and Pineapples https://soundcloud.com//the-wonky-queenslander-afternoon-d

25.01.2022 Whats that? Its the weekend-eve? Well. Considering this excitable event only happens 52 times a year, we thought it prudent to celebrate this one with a tasty morsel fit to blow your weekday struggles out of the water.... Sunderhas blends a myriad of genres thatll keep your arms wigglin and your head boppin. Give it a crack on your way to work today and we guarantee youll be grinning ear to ear with Kylie Minogue stuck in your head https://soundcloud.com//the-wonky-queenslander-afternoon-d Much Glove and Pineapples

17.01.2022 This guy.. this guy right here needs no introduction, but were gonna do it anyway. This fellow wonky resident has taken many of you on journeys in parties past.... And hes gonna do it all over again come Saturday. His energy is unmistakeable and no-one quite knows whether hes dancing or on the verge of falling over on stage. This can be only Jamie Forest. Known for his ability to seamlessly weave between genres, Jamie floats somewhere between daytime funk throw downs and a late night melodic stomp. Whats in store at the afternoon delight? Who the funk knows? All we know is that were excited to see him fire up the booth inside the Rumpus Room as our afternoon delight begins its after party flight. Make sure you join the huge conga-line that segues from the warehouse party space, into Rumpus Room next door, so we can tear up that dance floor once more. General ticket sales have sold out, so were down to final release. Dont be stingy, grab that ticket or else youll be paying for a whole lot of FOMO and regret. Much Glove and Pineapples

Its not exactly the middle of the week. But its also not the very beginning of the week. Its week purgatory, and its tough to get through So heres a pick-me-up for yall! Sunderhas had her first festival experience at Earth Frequency Festival 2020, tearing up our beloved Sheila with a nostalgic throwback set.

08.01.2022 Our very own Captain Hydrate doing what he does best Keep an eye out for him and H2GoGirl at future events so they can say hi-drate and fill up on that precious h2o

06.01.2022 Like one of yesterdays artist spotlights, this next artist is also a Wonky Graduate. He has played the likes of The Dut Hut Warehouse-House Party, A Space Odys...sey, oh.. and hes also played Burning Man. No biggie. We asked him for an artist bio, but his agents said that in order to recieve a bio from him, wed have to offer up one of our new borns as he is just that busy. Obviously, kids are expensive, but not that much to warrant giving one away.. so we went onto Trip-Adviser and copy and pasted a review left by a very vehement Cognito enthusiast: Cognito is a fucking sick cunt. His DJ skills are second to none. Not only are his Bangers better than your bangers, but his inspirational conscious flow-state truly transcends the shit out of your mediocre FlOw-StATe. Anyone who misses a set of his is an actual pleb. The big man is doing a Christmas charity for us by gracing us with his presence tomorrow, so be sure to stroke his behemoth ego by tearing up that dance floor. Only one sleep left Wonkies. Drink water, buy your tickets, get your costume ready, check on your mates, get a game-plan going. We cannot wait to see all your shining faces! Big Glove and Pineapples

04.01.2022 Ever been to a party and theres always that one guy with a guitar that can only play Wonderwall or Smoke On The Water, yet no one ever seems to give him new sh...eet music? Well this guy is the exact opposite. Live electronic wizard, and freelance feels distributor B-Syde is a one man sound machine, breaking down genre barriers to create a one of a kind live experience. Returning to the Wonky Queenslander with his bass driven alter-ego MastaRyte, this sonic sorcerer is sure to bring the vibes to your Afternoon Delight. B-Syde you dont miss him! Feeling like a broken record, but dont forget to buy your tickets! We will sell out, there will be no door sales, and if you buy through our link, youre 100% less at risk of buying from those pesky scammers that always seem to float around. Get on it! Glove and Pineapples

04.01.2022 A great big hello! Wonky Weople! Were feeling the physical distance from all of you happy campers, but fortunately, this pandemic has happened in a time saturated with a plethora of virtual socializing options! Hold tight, well all be physically reunited soon enough. ... Until then, weve started a lil weekly spotlight on Wonky crew members, with the intent of spreading dat spotlight into friends and extended family of the Wonk So, without further ado, wed like to introduce our very first spotlight recipient! Andrew Simpson, colloquially known as Ange or Simmo was one of the founding fathers of The Wonky Queenslander. Ange is a carpenter by trade, but his real talent lies in his prodigious ability at being able to party harder than a rockstar from the 80s. Hes continued his founding father role by co-creating the 8 Mile Yacht Club, which were sure youve seen bouncing around at all hours at many festivals throughout Australia We asked Ange some questions about his roles and goals, so here goes! Q: How did the idea of Wonky start? A: The Wonky started with Babs on a forum for burners. He connected Kelly and Sean with myself and Benny [more on these guys later]. We wanted a pirate ship but Kelly convinced us to build a house. And away we went. I took all the off cuts and rubbish timber from a Queenslander renovation I was working on. Q:What was the first event the Wonky debuted at? A:Not sure if it was Rabbits or our own warehouse part at Hackers Space. Q: What roles have you filled during your time with the Wonky? A: Everything. Grime master-builder to absolute shit kicker Q: Whats your favourite memory? A: Inviting Mood Swing And Chevy Bass to come play our first warehouse party Q: What new skills have you learnt? A: To let go of ideas for the greater community Q: What do you want to learn? A: Its tough work, working with a lot of creative minds Q: What do you love most about what we do? A: The warehose parties Q: Who is your favourite musical act and why? A: Yoshi Dog. Enough said. [Yoshi Dog is a Rumpus Room resident and Wonky Alumni] Q: What is your one crazy idea for the future? A: Put the roof on a hills hoist so you can lift the roof and spin it while you play Q: Describe yourself as a music genre? A: Nothing but the funk You can usually find Ange when hes not with The Boat parked at the bar, offering beer and hearty banter, drinking booze like a dying man in the desert That wraps it up for Wonky Spotlight Issue 1! Well be back with a new member and more history next week Until then, Glove and Pineapples!

03.01.2022 Good morning all you happy campers! Today is the day. The day of the burn. We sure hope everyone bought a ticket, as they are now off-line. But have no fear, surely a mate thought ahead and purchased some virtual gold? Go plan a kiki! Today is a day about self reflection, love, having fun, and being rad. So get dressed up, get hyped up, and get loving, cause its going to be a doozy! ... We thought wed give you a little run down on what to expect from the music aspect tonight! Given that a burn is a place of self expression, and that weve been given creative freedom, we thought you guys would like to know that weve formed a 5 piece scat jazz band :) Only kidding, we wish. The vibe will start off with a beautifully sensual set from The Shady Lady Teahouse Experience. If you caught her debut set at Earth Frequency this year, you know youre in for the aural equivalent of smooth flowing caramel. Shes offering a selection of delicious rhythmic remedies handpicked in honour of Modifyre as well as a batch of homemade coconut turmeric chai to be brewed and served throughout the set After that weve got Sunderhas. Normally serving up bass heavy tracks, with a generous helping of throwback electronic, shes swapping that out and flexing her disco/house muscles with an upbeat set sure to get you grinning and bopping. Therell still be plenty of nostalgia, some homage to the pioneering sounds that were at the forefront of the electronic music scene, and an appearance by Aqua. Following on, we have DJ duo Silesia, comprised of Stuart Banks and our very own Jamie Forest. Delving into the depths of electronica and cinematic sounds, their set is sure to give you those saucy feel good waves, while keeping your feet slipping and sliding on the d-floor (i.e. your living room). And finally, to cap off our portion of the night, weve got the ever talented DJONN. The sounds hes curated for tonight are almost opposite to his usually sunny and exuberant demeanour. Bringing a little dark and dirty prog/techno to the table, hes supplying the creature potion to the party. Tonight is going to be a bountiful showcase of so many talented artists, so make sure you tune in at 12pm today to see the delectable smorgasbord that Modifyre have curated for your enjoyment! As always, love and pineapples to you all

03.01.2022 Long time no updates! Were sorry for the radio silence at our end. Its been a whirlwind of a time, and a lot of the members of our community are experiencing some tumultuous times. However, weve got a lot of fun, interactive things planned to stay in touch with our loving community, as well as to boost morale and keep everyone primed for those sweet sweet post-quarantine parties that will be thrown.... In the mean time, our beloved extended family, Crop Psycles, have managed to keep the party alive by creating and hosting a weekly virtual party! Its free to join, theres awards, friendly faces, and some smashing tunes. This weekend, in light of Easter, and subsequently REL, being cancelled, CP and the REL team have joined up to bring a healthy dose of Easter fun right to your living room D-Floor. So get your cocktails ready, make yourself an Easter costume, and get ready for a social-distancing safe party like none youve ever experienced before! Hope to see everyone there! Much Glove and Pineapples P.s. On a serious note, if anyone is struggling with having their routines flipped upside down, or are just needing a friendly chat to keep you on an even keel, dont hesitate to send us a message. We want everyone to keep being the positive rays of sunshine you all are, so if youre feeling a bit over-cast, drop us a line xoxoxo

03.01.2022 Here it is. The video you probably forgot was taken, but are nonetheless stoked to see. Its the after-video from last years warehouse installation: Afternoon Delight.... Feast your eyes on happy, glowing people. Until next time, All the Glove and Pineapples

02.01.2022 Good Morning Pineapple Party People Wow what a delightful afternoon was had by all!!.......... And do you know whats even more fun that the party itself? The packdown afterwards!!!... Never experienced a Wonky Queenslander pack down fun time ? Well nows your chance! Come join us at Rumpus Room in West End at 3pm this afternoon, and lend a hand! There may be some yummy treats for helpers, many hands make light work and we neeed youuuuu and your hands!

02.01.2022 This here is Sunderhas. Shes a recent graduate from the Wonky Academy, after taking best set of the night on the second installment of The Wonky Takeover at R...umpus Room (far-from-humble-brag). The height of her DJing career was this one time when a woman ripped off her shirt and started swinging it lasso style in the middle of one of her sets. Thats peaking right there. She has a tendency to sling surprising songs throughout her set, but ya know, somehow it just works. We have it on good terms that Kylie Minogue will be guest appearing* If youre keen to either A) rip off your shirt or B) wiggle ya thang like a bee conveying vital information to the rest of the hive, then make sure you secure your spot on the D-Flaw, lest you be trippin Remember to start drinking heaps of water and eating lots of fruit so your hydration and energy levels are nice and high on Saturday! Glove and Pineapples *in spirit and sound, corporeal body will not be present

01.01.2022 We managed to put ourselves in an exorbant amount of debt getting the man himself out to perform at Wonky Town. Well worth the hole were in as it went AWF Any future gigs Cognito will have to be pro bono as we pay off your fee
