ROCK AEROBICS


  Ikat  
When? always

Where? 99 Smith Street, Fitzroy.

There is a good reason that none of us goes to aerobics. We don't want to be seen jiggling around to the house hits of 2003. But why should people with good musical taste be doomed to heart disease? Melbourne's rock headquarters of the north, Yah Yah's, has come to the rescue with rock aerobics. Grab your mouldy Ramones shirt, warm up with a beer, and drop some kilojoules to the sweet sounds of Gunners, Blondie and Zeppelin from 7pm every Thursday. For those about to rock, Jane Fonda salutes you.

Check out The Bomp Book, which tells the history of the legendary San Francisco magazine record label, and Hi-God People on the Astral Plane – a strange and inspiring collection of Melbourne's best gig flyers from the '70s until now....
