Pretty kitties hit Canberra catwalk at Thoroughbred Park
With the news that Cube, Canberra's last gay nightclub, has closed, you might be forgiven for thinking the city has finally lived up to the whole boring thing, but thank god for Smith's Alternative! There's a pretty full calendar most weeks, but you might want to check out Rufino on Saturday night. As the blurb goes, Rufino is more than just a pop artist: "He is his own landform, his own geo-political territory. He is The Gulf of Rufino." He's also the alter-ego of Canberra-born muso Pip Branson, and the show should therefore be heaps of fun, if only because his mission, on this night anyway, is to "make tropical punk disco great again". Rufino is playing at Smith's Alternative on Saturday night from 6pm.
