On the busiest Saturday they’ve had since Fitz Hazebroek started, Zekka café on King St still has an undeniably chilled out vibe.Twenty-five-year-old Fitz and his 23-year-old-girlfriend Katie Haynes, just back from London, own the café-cum-art space together since they took it over from the previous owners in October last year.“We try to follow the same principles as what they believed in and what they have done in the past and just tried to put our theory in to it,” says Hazebroek.The men’s clothing store moved space with Connor and Ramina, but Hazebroek has his own plans for the vacant space next door.“Our first idea was to open a café that had a design store next to it because my dad’s an architect, I’m an interior designer, Katie’s in fashion. Something that just sold nice things,” he says.“Simple things, but nice things.”Right now though, the café is ticking over at a level that’s just right for the energetic young owners.“We have a few coffee enthusiasts - the right amount. And the people we want to come in, do come in,” says Fitz.Katie says, “we have some beautiful regulars, you actually look forward to seeing them everyday and it makes work easier.“People say that if you really like your job, you don’t have to work a day in your life and I like to live by that”.For a couple who work 12-hour days at a busy CBD coffee shop, Hazebroek and

Haynes are surprisingly willing to take time out to educate people about the coffee they’re drinking.In their eyes, hospitality means more than customer service. That simple idea influences everything that happens at Zekka - from choosing the right staff, to spending two weeks making sure the coffee blend is just right.But what is the right blend? How do you know if you would prefer a long black with Ethiopian beans, or a Guatemalen cold drip?All three (soon to be four) baristas at Zekka are all too happy to take five minutes to tell you everything they know about the blend you’re ordering, if you want to know.“Education one of things we try to encourage - for example Katie, we met through the coffee shop I used to work at,” says Fitz.“Katie used to drink a large latté with three, then it became a large latté with two…”Katie: “I didn’t know coffee at all,

because I moved to the Middle East then came back here and I thought Starbucks was coffee”.Fitz says the passion behind the coffee they make is what makes Zekka different from large chain outlets who - by his own admission - the local establishment can not compete with.“If people are wanting to learn, we’re happy to tell them. If people just want to get a coffee and go, then they can do that. We’re passionate about it and want to pass that on,” he says.“This is actually what we love to do.“Like Tim behind the machine, if you want to talk to him about what you’re actually drinking, he will sit down with you for five minutes - he will take time his time and sit down with you and tell you ‘this is what’s in our blend, this is how we do it, this is why I enjoy it and I personally want to serve you something that I would enjoy’”.“Just ask us what’s tasting good today.”

“We’re not going to give you coffee that tastes like shit. If you get something that tastes like shit, throw it out.”Fitz says if they could, they wouldn’t have a written menu.“We would have people coming up and asking ‘what can I eat, what can I drink?’”Although that may still be a way off, there are no doubt some very cool things happening at 79 King St.A tip from us to you: try the cold drip. It gets brewed without ever touching heat, so it creates a whole new coffee experience that’s unbeatable in the heat.And the banana bread. Oh, the banana bread.“It’s dangerous working here, it’s always staring you in the face,” says Katie.“We used to have this lady who would come in and buy two loaves and send them to her mum in China. Her mum loved it so much”.

FATSHAN

RECORDS

Page 14: Unlimited Magazine

A little over a year ago, Chris Healing was DJing at Ya-Ya’s on a Friday night when he jokingly suggested to Al (the owner of Beat Route Records on Barrack St) that he would take over the record store if it was ever up for sale. Al told Healing that he was indeed planning to sell the store, and they sat down to have a beer and a chat.

A year later, the green walls of Beat Route Records have been transformed to Fat Shan Records, with Healing and his close friends at the helm.

“We took over in February last year. We spent about three weeks gutting the place,” he says.“There was absolutely nothing in here. We repainted it all, gave it about three or four coats of paint, then started from scratch with an empty shell and a bunch of old records.”We looked back at the first 12 months of Fat Shan with Shan himself (Healing), Wil Perry, and Renee Dodds. The first thing we wanted to know was where the name comes from.“Fat Shan is a fat bloke called Shan. Where did that nickname come from? Our friend called (Chris), Shannon, just to annoy him,” says Perry. The nickname stuck and became Fat Shan Records before the store existed, to help Wil’s brother and local musician Sam Perry release his debut record.Chris drew the original design which can usually be found all over the city on posters, flyers, and stickers.“He’s a bit unhappy, but he’s got a sausage,” says Healing“He’s kind of like ‘I don’t know if this sausage is going to fulfill my hunger’ and he’s got his iPod. He’s content.”

Today the rear and side walls on one side of the store are packed tight with records from all genres, with the opposite wall boasting an impressive gramophone collection. Snaking all over the shelves are lengths of rope light, which sets a chilled-out ambiance for people

to browse the records Healing has so passionately collected.“When it comes to actually listening to music, and paying attention, which I don’t think enough people do, that’s where vinyl’s great,” says Healing.“Vinyl’s a thing where it’s an addiction, and you need to get your fix.“My idea was that if I spend that much on records, then surely there are other people out there who feel the same.”Perry says Healing’s passions extend beyond records. “He has more than a vinyl fetish; he’s also got a rope light fetish. There are more,” he says.Dodds says: “We’ve taken a lot down.”Wil: “We had to, it looked like Las Vegas at one point.”

The most impressive feature of Fat Shan’s music and clothing store, and record studio, is the wall of local artists. From one small CD rack, this section has grown to become a big part of the store. Supporting local artists - be that music, fashion, jewelry, or anything else that will fit in the store - has always been a key focus of the basement store.“The CDs that local bands bring in, we don’t take any commission on,” says Healing.

“The ones that distributors give us, we take a dollar, but we still sell them cheaper than anywhere else. We try to give everyone a face, rather than being behind someone else.”Perry says: “That was the thing with the studio as well; that was a kitchen when we took over and we smashed it all down.“We just wanted to make a cheap and cheerful kind of record-your-stuff-for-as-little-as-possible studio.”

A year on and the store is still evolving, but the team are pretty happy with where they are.“It’s taken 12 months to really get the shop where we want it - physically, and behind the scenes as well,” says Healing. “We’ve got it in to a system now where everyone does stuff that they can do efficiently, so it runs really, really smooth,” he says. “Take one of those ‘reallys’ out,” says Perry.All three are incredibly passionate about supporting

local music and encouraging people to watch more live gigs. They know when people liken the store to Melbourne it’s meant with the best intentions, but don’t let them hear you say it.“There’s so much amazing music happening, and so many amazing bands, and you can go watch them at the Bird for $5 or $10 or whatever it is, and actually see the band, rather than go somewhere where you stand at the back where you can’t see them, and spend half an hour getting a beer just to watch a shitty band,” says Healing.“I think people that hate on Perth are people that just don’t realise, that don’t know.“That’s kind of what we’re trying to do; get people to know what’s happening and to realise and to get them in to all these amazing bands, because if they knew about them, then they’d have such a better life and wouldn’t be so miserable.”This ethos extends to the way Fat Shans does business in any part of the family - the store, studio, record

label, Rubbish Radio podcasts, and regular live gigs both in and out of the store.“Obviously we don’t want to be millionaires,” says Perry.“We do this because we love music”.“I think you have to do something in life that gives you a purpose,” says Healing.“You can’t take money with you when you die, you give it to your ungrateful kids. What matters is what you leave behind and what you do, not how big your house is”.

Fat Shan officially celebrated their first year of life with a Festivus at the Bakery on March 24. They were joined by an impressive line-up of bands including The Chemist, High Horse, The Novocaines and more. We had a great time blowing out the proverbial candles on the first year (although the memory is a little blurry), and we’re looking forward to many more to come.You can find them at the basement of 37 Barrack St.

It seems that increasing numbers of the Perth born-and-raised are heading east to find greener pastures.One of the most common destinations for so many 18 to 35-year-olds is Melbourne.For a variety of reasons, Fed Square and Collins Street are increasingly beating out King Street and Beaufort Street, especially for the culturally inclined.Seventeen-year-old Chloe Slattery has plans to move east and join her two friends who made the move earlier this year.“I’ve been to Melbourne a couple of times before...I don’t know, it’s just the culture there. The entire city is so interesting,”

she says.Slattery is planning on studying an associate degree in Fashion and Textile Merchandising and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and eventually working in fashion management, or as a fashion buyer.“I think I’ll have more of a chance of being successful over there than I would be anywhere here, just because there are so many more opportunities,” she says.“There are so many more, probably, designers over there, there’s probably more design houses over there, for me to try and work my way up in than there is here”.

Hannah McGrath has been a stylist both freelance and at The West Australian for a few years now, and recently started All Of The Above Creative with her good friend, X-Press fashion editor Emma Bergmeier.“I want to help enrich and nurture Perth’s little creative and arts scene, so that in a few years or so as it grows bigger and better, it can be something I was an integral part of, something that I helped create,” says McGrath.McGrath is also responsible for the Two Bucks ’Til Wednesday sale, and is always involved in cultural and arts events in Perth and its surrounds.She says Perth’s cultural and

bored, and only unemployable people are

unemployed”

fashion environment is slowly blossoming, but it still needs support.“I’d love to see Perth slowly grow its arts and creative industry into something bigger and better, and make Perth a place that people want to move to rather than away from,” she says.“The only way to do that is to stay here and help make it exactly what I want it to be, so that’s what I intend to do.McGrath is a strong believer in Perth’s cultural potential, and says moving east will not instantly cure one’s sense of monotony. “A trendy, too-bored kid who studied graphic design in Perth is only going to be a trendy, too-bored kid who works at a bar in Melbourne,” she says.“I think it’s important for creative and clever people to stay in Perth to help it to grow further; if people keep leaving, Perth is never going to reach its full potential.“I’d rather play that role that move to another city and just be a follower of an already existing industry that wouldn’t care if I was there or not.”Slattery agrees Perth is developing its culture, but says she is still restless.“I think it’s because I’ve lived here my entire life,” she says.“And the area I live in, it’s the suburbs, there’s no life there, it’s where people would go to settle down and raise kids. “As I get older, I’m actually appreciating Perth city…but I think Melbourne would be so much better.”But what brings people to a city?The Economist rates Perth the 7th most liveable city in the world, behind Sydney (6th) and Melbourne (2nd), the latter by just two per cent.We could talk about infrastructure, education,

population densities and availability of health care.Perth’s rating on Mercer’s Cost of Living list jumped up 30 places between 2010 and 2011 to reach 30th, with Melbourne at 21 - a change of only 12 from the previous year.The same organisation’s Quality of Living list puts Vienna at number one, followed by Zurich and Auckland.It is understandable that moving to Europe and learning a new language is not feasible for everyone, but what draws people to Melbourne in favour of nearby (sort of) Auckland? Auckland has all the positives of Australia, with no bugs, mosquitos or deadly things crawling in the grass.However after all is said and done, the reasons seem to be overwhelmingly cultural, especially with the cost of living argument fast disappearing.“I think they definitely need to establish more of a fashion industry over here,” says Slattery.“And I think definitely the night life is getting better, but I think it could get better from there as well. “Most of the things that they have here are mostly nightclub sort of things, they don’t really have cool little bars where they have good artists on.”McGrath says there is nothing wrong with Perth’s social scene.“I disagree with the use of the phrase ‘greener pastures’ in these circumstances,” she says.“A place is what you make it, and if you can’t be happy somewhere because you think it’s not cool enough or that ‘nothing’s happening’, it’s probably more your own problem that anything else”.Suffice it to say there is plenty of things happening in Perth, but the arguments for and against staying are convincing. For now, we’re staying here. Just for you.

I would love to live in Little Gracie’s world.

It’s a whimsical yet earthly land with a warm, playful energy, laced with soft pastels and flowing femininity. WA designer Ebony Harding launched the label in 2009, and ever since it’s been one

to watch.

Just six months after launching Little Gracie, Ebony’s first collection was featured on the runway of Perth Fashion Festival. Just two years after graduation Bentley TAFE, Ebony was invited to study at the acclaimed Paris American Academy in France. She returned with a Little Gracie

collection even more mesmerising than the first.

TESSMALONEYIf you go to Tess Maloney’s house and open the freezer, chances are you will find a kangaroo looking back at you.Right now it’s in the process of becoming art, but Maloney is a suffering student who can not readily afford the $50 for the chemicals to finish the taxidermy process.“Cutting up dead stuff is actually really disgusting,” she says.“But on a farm, things die constantly and you get used to it.

“You get used to really gross things like animals getting caught in fences and having to cut off their limbs, that’s just farm life,” she says.In an effort to move toward a self-sufficient farm just south of Margaret River, her parents were slaughtering rabbits and tossing the pelts away. So Tess learned how to cure them.“Being an artist and wanting to find new materials to work with, and wanting to do something a little bit different, here’s this material - I just have to figure out how to use it”.

When we first met Tessa at the OnWilliam night markets back in January, we loved her work straight away. Taxidermy isn’t for everyone though.

“My landlord came over once for a rent inspection and I had a fox sitting up on top of my wardrobe and she lost it, she was like ‘what is that, that is disgusting!’,” she says.All of Tess’ material comes from natural, humane deaths - her parents on the farm, her veterinarian friends, and even the occasional ranger.

“If we think about it, we have leather bags, we have leather shoes, it’s pretty much the same. It is good that it is humane, I wouldn’t be able to justify it if it wasn’t”Although a lot of her pieces are based on the material she has available or is given, she is heavily influenced by evolution. Evolution, and David Attenborough.“Just little things, like the way that scales evolved in to feathers and how when you look at them they’re really similar, but you don’t ever think about them coming from each other,” she says.“It’s tricky to make it look like it could get up and walk away.

“That’s kind of what I was going for - something that looks feasible, even though it’s totally radical and different, it still looks like maybe it could exist.“I guess I’m searching for a way to make it not just taxidermy, because I’ll get bored out of my mind just doing taxidermy”

“You have to be kind of ‘who gives a fuck,’ because you are that person cutting birds’ feet

off on the side of the road”

“fuckdoing

anythingthat isn’tmusic”

Page 31: Unlimited Magazine

Let’s pretend absolutely nobody knows who you are or what you do in the world of music. What do you tell them?

I’d say, ‘I play music in a band called the tumblers, I also do I solo thing that I just started out in, both projects are starting to do quite well. I’m having a lot and a lot of fun doing both. I would tell them that I’m having a great time doing exactly what I’m doing, and the day that I don’t say that I’m having a great time doing exactly what I’m doing is the time that I stop doing what I’m doing.

What made you want to create music and perform?

It was sort of the only thing I was ever half decent at. Throughout school, all I was ever decent at was the creative arts and English. All I wanted to do in English was write stories; all I wanted to do in music was learn things that they weren’t teaching. So I’d always ask for a guitar for Christmas since like year 6, and my parents always maintained that when my grades got good, they’d buy me a guitar. Then in year 10, they decided

to get me a guitar anyway to try and improve my grades. It improved my grades in music, that’s about it. What keeps you wanting to do it?

Constantly, every single song I write, I believe is better than the last one. I’m so far away from my peak. At the moment honestly, I think I’m rather shit in comparison to what I could be and what I will be. So, every single song, I can feel myself getting better. At the moment I’m really happy whenever I play because people seem to like it, people listen, people actually get what I’m singing. I wrote a song about my dog that died, and after the gig, a girl came up to me in tears, and she said ‘my dog passed away this week, that was so beautiful”. I just gave her this big hug and was like “I’m so sorry, but thank you, buy a single” (laughing).

These songs are so close to my heart. I was absolutely fucked when I wrote this first up. I was just completely heartbroken, and then my dog died, so it was a real kick in the dick. But I really, really like it when people actually listen to it.

Is there anything that could ever make you want to stop creating and performing?

There’s nothing that would make me want to stop doing this. I’d only ever stop if I couldn’t do it. And that’s the only fucking time. It’s such a big part of exactly who I am, exactly what I do, exactly what I base my entire life around. If I couldn’t do music I’d be fucked.

What is your opinion on the local music scene and where it’s going?

It’s fucking awesome. It’s absolutely, fucking awesome. Take the band Sugarpuss, every single time I see them I just feel like doing something naughty. They are so good.The Novocaines have definitely helped me out so much, they’re really great. I could just talk about Perth bands all night, the list would get ridiculous. But if I were to name a few of really great Perth acts I’d say,

Sonpsilo Circus, Hunting Huxley, Ruby Boots and James Teague, they’re all definitely killer.

There are a lot of collaborations with other Perth musicians on your upcoming E.P. Are there any other Perth or Australian artists that you’d love to work with?

If the opportunity presents itself and if I’m writing a song that fits someone. I would never write a song with anyone in mind, but with Dance With Me, I just wrote it, and then I went to a Ruby Boots gig and I was like ‘this could be cool’, and I was friends with Bex already. Maybe if Abbe May wanted to do something?If Abbe May wanted to do something, I would blow off all plans forever, to make it perfect.

Is there likely to be more solo stuff? Or will we see more of a focus on The Tumblers?Yeah it’s more like 60/40 in the way of the tumblers.

Page 33: Unlimited Magazine

33

I think where I am now; one can’t come without the other. And I’m more than happy with that. I like the fact that people can see two sides of my personality; I’m not just some dude that goes crazy on stage.

Do you think you’ll ever end up doing anything else besides being a musician?

Nope. Fuck that.Fuck doing anything that isn’t music. I both don’t want to, and I don’t think I can do anything that isn’t music.

What’s next for Tim Gordon?

Well I’ve got the EP launch in June. Hopefully record the next EP before I go to Europe. Bring my guitar, play some shows over there, get some more experience and show my music to the people of Europe who hopefully don’t speak English, so they justwon’t get it which will be great. I can’t wait for that. At

the moment everything is very Tumblers based, ‘cause everything’s sort of starting to blow up, but I’ve just got heaps of gigs on the horizon.

Any final words?

Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. Buy Ed Hardy shit.We’re curious, why the love for Ed Hardy?Because it is the most repulsive thing in the entire world, and something about it just connects with me. People I would never hang out with, that I would have nothing in common with, and I see it on them, and it’s so far away from the scene that I’ve been in.

Tim released the single ‘Dance With Me’ featuring Bex from Ruby Boots this past February. His upcoming EP Burn the Clouds is set to be released this coming June.You can find him at www.facebook.com/timgordonmusic

44 GUNNY.“The trick is to get a complicated image down to two colours, and still have that clarity in it, without it being too much effort to cut the thing out.”

Jason McLeod makes this very complicated process seem simple, taking no more than a couple of hours.McLeod, who sells his art under the moniker Gunny, creates two colour stencils on wood from an image he is inspired by, or one he creates entirely himself.The result is pieces that use elements of LA street art and Gunny’s own style to create interior art - something inherently very different from the street art scene.The choice to stay indoors wasn’t commercial, though. “I suppose rather than copying what other people have done, I want to take it and make it my own interpretation of this type of thing,” he says.

When McLeod isn’t making art, he is in his final year of an Interior Architecture degree, an area he says has always been passionate about.His pieces show 80s TV characters, Western scenes and creations straight from the artist himself.

“It might be seeing another film that sparks my interest,” he says.“Sometimes I see an artwork, and there’ll be a quality in that that I’ll want to replicate. Or there will be something in it that will spark another idea”.We went to McLeod’s home/workshop to see where the creative process happened, and met the original Gunny - his cat. We nicknamed the cat OG.Gunny - the person, not the cat - prefers to work from home, and has little interest in commercialising his art.“It’s all done by hand and I like that control over it,” he says.“I guess as well there’s a bit of a loss of control, because it’s not mass production”.We were lucky enough to hear the secrets behind how Gunny creates art, including meeting his feline muse.Although we can’t reveal secrets, we can say that the process of hand cutting an intricate stencil takes patience, focus, and a lot of skill.Almost every Gunny piece is painted from a single handmade stencil. Nothing is multi-layered or machine-cut. Looking at his intricate images, it is obvious this is no mean feat.

Who we are Kate Collier

is a writer, reader, bunny lover, launch party planner, and coffee maker. She has been an invaluable part of the Unlimited team so far and puts up with the co-creator’s bullshit far too often. Her ideas and direction, not to mention writing and launch planning, helped see us through to the end.

Matt Nankivell is an Art Director at one of the top ad agencies in Perth. He’s also a freelance graphic designer, and commercial photographer. Matt learned the value of not sleeping (ever) during his Creative Advertising and Graphic Design course at Curtin, at which time he also completed the prestigious Award School program. Without his graphic design guidance and 2am emails, we would be truly lost.

Kelly Flemming runs ninetysevenclothing.com.au and contributed much

more fashion advice and writing than we had space for. Kelly’s knowledge of, and passion for, local fashion makes her a great person to know. Her website is a treasure trove of vintage and local delights.

Mikhail ‘Fuzz’ Wong is Unlimited’s art director and co-creator. He is the creative genius behind the magazine you’re reading, and argues for the sake of arguing - about everything. Sometimes he’s right. Fuzzy will always have his point and shoot camera with him, just one of more than a dozen that he owns. He talks complete rubbish 95 per cent of the time, but this magazine would really be nothing without him.

Morgan Riley is the magazine’s editor and co-creator, and doesn’t like to describe himself in third person. My thanks go to everyone who has helped us so far, and will help us in the future.

We aim to create a collaborative community of artists, creatives, designers, musicians, poets, writers, and everyone in between, who will grow the Perth cultural milieu and show our talents on a global stage. We want to make the amazing things happening in our city, accessible to everyone. With your continued support, we are

going to make this happen.

Art. Music. Fashion. Culture.Perth is Unlimited.

www.unlimitedmagazine.com.au
