Before the second night heckler, Thom Yorke got one in at the opening show: "Where the f**k are you going?"

"Where the f*ck are you going?"

Don’t be a fraidy cat, come to DJ Joey Lightbulb/Frightbulb’s Halloween Party Nov 1, 9pm-1am, Stingrays (Bodriggy)

21/10/2024

🎃LAST MINUTE SPOOKING🎃I’ve been tapped to DJ Joey Frightbulb’s Halloween Party on Nov 1, 9pm-1am at above
🤓Generally my rule is 6 weeks of build-up to any party so I’m low-key pooping my bog-catchers that nobody will come on 10 days notice but I have faith in you, fair child of the internet, to spread the word near and far because we’ll have:
- Scavenger Hunt
- Fashion Parade
- 4 hours of FANGERS (fangin’ bangers)
- NB: keeping the tix at Cozzie Livz prices, $10 early birds, $15 on the night. Gimme a full house over a fat cheque 💸
🎃👹🎃👹🎃
Fresh art being done right now, ticket link being built, it’s going to be smashing, pumpkin.
Love,
Frightbulb

😇"A relieved, happy grin spreads across her face as she backs away from the mic to emphasise her enormous feelings. The aforementioned hardships have led her to the triumph of this moment: she’s glowing with purpose in Naarm’s most enchanting live music venue." My review of Angie McMahon is up::

Angie McMahon showcased her immense vocal power and songwriting excellence at one of three sold-out shows at Melbourne's Forum.

A little flabbergasted and (nearly) speechless at this beautiful, moving 4.5 star review of our show on Saturday night at The Night Cat. He *really* gets it.

Joey Lightbulb, aka the enigmatic Mikey Cahill, teaches us that the space that exists between the spaces might be the most precious space of them all.

✍🏻Wrote a piece to balance out the current narrative about music festivals. Thx Patrick O'Neil & The Age

I’ve had some of the best and worst times of my life at festivals: from having my head stomped on by a crowd surfer at Big Day Out, to reaching for the wrong bottle of water one morning. Every moment has been worth it.

I haven’t come down from Golden Plains and don’t intend to. Interstitial Encore show at The Night Cat April 27. Tix on sale Mon 9am. This will sell out (echoes)💡

It’s my birthday so I got you a present. DJ mix w Radiohead, fred again, Harry Belafonte, Stevie Wonder, FourTet m, Medlar & more. This went under the radar a few months ago but the energy is still there. Sharing is caring. 🎂

Where was this recorded? Never you mind. All that matters is you dance to it and share with friends. Tunes by Eli Escobar, Kylie Minogue, Radiohead, Maurice Fulton, Stevie Wonder, Harry Belafonte and a gnarly Fourtet remix of Chris Lake.

8 hours of power LFG

BREAKING NEWS: DJ Lightbulb will be doing a "Nice Buns Huns No Repeat Work Day" ie. open to requests all day long because it's all about community and love and getting day drunk and wiggling your hips at the FREE Ciao Boy Piazza Party.

12pm - 8pm, Saturday 11 March at The Convent.

He came, he saw, he conquered for six hours last year at ChillOut Festival on a sun-dappled day in March. That 130bpm Rock the Casbah remix is still echoing through the trees. This year we extend his set to an epic 8 hours (pew pew) where everything's on the table: butt-cheeky Madonna edits, LCD Soundsystem heaters, h***y Rosalia chewing gum poppers, Yacht Rock with balls, rock'n'roll with m**f, ladies getting frisky, men getting buff. Lightbulb (Mikey Cahill) holds residencies at Revolver, Espy, Boatbuilders Yard, Riverland and has just been added to A Day On The Green shows with The Killers in Adelaide and Geelong in the midst of his own Fan of the People Tour.
