COMEDY
The show that combines trivia, music and comedy may be over but the gang are back with a Christmas show that will knock your red and green socks off. Hosted by Julia Zemiro, there will also be some all-star mystery guests on stage ready to perform. And the usual RockWiz quizzing and competitive tomfoolery. Dec 9-10, Palais Theatre, Melbourne. $79.90 palaistheatre.com.au
CANYONS KEEP YOUR DREAMS
WORKSHOPPED CHRISTMAS MARKETS
NEW MUSIC
MARKETS
The Canyons have been described as having a club tropical sound. The percussion and jungle bird sounds certainly give that impression, but this debut album is full of saxophone solos that seem to hark back to disco boogie more than anything. It’s a funky, synthesised mix of beats that gives off a bit of a chilled Pet Shop Boys vibe, especially in the vocals. Worth a shuffle.
If you’re looking for some last-minute (or if you’re like me, first-minute) Christmas gifts then get down to Surry Hills this Saturday for the Workshopped Christmas Markets. Here you’ll find a range of stocking stuffers, from obscure jewelry to arty furniture. Perfect for the hard-tobuy-for loved one. Or just that annoying person in your family who has it all.

GRACE EMILY HOTEL ADELAIDE
TRAVELLING COLONY CARRIAGEWORKS
BAR
EXHIBITION
There aren’t many pubs left in Oz that support live music like the Grace Emily does. Even on a cold Sunday night at 10pm the place can be packed with drinkers as the bands set up. In the front you’ll find arty looking locals while in the back you’ll find a dark room with sunken couches pushed close to the stage by eager fans.
Embrace your inner-pikey and get down to Sydney’s Carriageworks to eye off some painted caravans. Australian artist Brook Andrew has hand-painted a convoy of caravans inspired by his Wiradjuri culture and immersed them in stories from his life in Redfern. Enter each of the caravans and be transported into his world.
