Stomp! Louder! It doesn’t hurt…that much.

Matchboxes, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters. You're out a hundred bucks and you have no idea what the hell is happening. No need for worry. This is culture. Those oddly threatening, sweaty people in tattered overalls are not heroin addicts. You won't be in that seedy back alley...

Cross your heart and prepare your eyeballs. Who misses 1980s repetitiveness without the context of cocaine? We know we do. And if you're real lucky, there might be some shiny backup dancers recalling the visual brilliance of DEVO. That's right, St. Vincent is coming to Sydney...
