Yo! Looking good people, looking good. By that, I mean our brand spanking new layout on the website. In particular, all of you in our new Weekend Warriors Gallery. Were you wild enough to make the cut in 2009?

Tonight it’s all about the space rave happening at The Esplanade Hotel in St.Kilda known as Scatterfest. Boasting an all-star line up including N.A.S.A, Mowgli, Shit Robot, Ajax, James Amato, Ooh-Ee, Andee Frost, 1928 & Sleeves and so much more.

The night doesn’t end there as there’s two joints hotting it up with 1928 & Sleeves continuing the fun with the Acid Jack’s at Eurotrash and Mowgli appearing at the launch of Yellow at Neverland. If  the blue moon won’t get you nuts, these sweatboxes will. So in preparation for tonight, The Saturday Night Warrior presents a healthy dose of high paced spacey disco & hip-hop featuring the following:
