Brick as weapon
A MAN covered his face with a beanie and hood and threatened a Dingley 7-Eleven Store attendant with a brick, 2.42am, Monday 6 June. The shop attendant retreated to a staff room and called police and the man fled on foot south east along Centre Dandenong Rd. Nothing was stolen. The man is described as 170cm tall, mid-late 20s, of medium build with light skin. He was wearing a navy jacket over a dark hoodie with a white skull logo, light blue jeans, black cap and green and white gloves. The same man was sighted outside a nearby gym a short time later. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Senior Constable Karen Goldschlager, Kingston CIU, 95566111.
Sounds good: Darcy Ward with last year’s Southern Metro Heat and grand finalists Mother Culture.
Tune in to Sounds’ battle UNSIGNED musicians aged 20 or less with a passion for live performance or song writing are welcome to enter Kingston’s Battle of the Sounds event. It’s on 6-9pm, Friday 19 August, at Allan McLean Hall, corner Lewis and Albert streets, Mordialloc. Presented by the youth-led Fuse Productions crew, the state government’s FReeZA program and The Push Inc., it will feature talented young local performers and bands playing live to an audience of all ages. Performers of all styles, grooves or genres are encouraged to apply
– whether they are a solo artist, duo or band. It could be their chance to make a splash on the music scene. The Kingston heat is Friday 19 August – allowing plenty of time for participants to get their acts together and, hopefully, catapult their music into the spotlight. Entrants must have a connection to Kingston. Prizes include a music industry prize pack, plus the chance to progress into the regional heats and even the grand final at next year’s Moomba festival. It’s certainly possible: Last year’s winners, local band Mother Culture, went on to win the regional heat and

perform at the grand final. The event is planned, run and managed by a crew aged 14-25 from the Kingston area. Kingston Youth Services is also recruiting crew members with an interest in events, marketing, music and audio engineering to get involved. The FReeZA and Fuse Production is an all-ages smoke, drug and alcohol-free event. Tickets are $10 at the door.
