ZAMBREROTHE LOWDOWN:Opening two restaurants in Leederville and Mt Lawley last year, Zambrero has quickly developed a loyal following who enjoy the fresh tasty offering, that also caters for the vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free patron. Local operators, Jamie Shaw and Eli Barlow, also plan to open more restaurants in WA. It’s not traditional Mexican, but if you are after delicious and social food which is truly fresh, Zambrero is your jam.

THE WAY IT IS:Every time a customer buys a meal from Zambrero we provide a meal to someone in need. The program is called PLATE4PLATE, and developed in 2011 through a partnership with the humanitarian group Action Against Hunger. In August, Zambrero celebrated the 1 millionth meal provided!

9SUMMER FESTIVAL & EVENTS GUIDE

PARTYING WITH PURPLE SNEAKER DJS

Those crazy lads Martin Novosel (PhDJ) and

Randall Stagg started the legendary Purple

Sneakers club a good five years ago and

have now pretty much taken over the world.

They’ve supported the likes of Miike Snow, Bloc

Party, Odd Future, The Rapture and more and

have played Big Day Out, Parklife, Field Day,

Splendour In The Grass and Groovin’ The Moo to

name a few. We get the lowdown from Randall

on their festivities.

You guys have played some pretty huge festivals - what are the standouts? Easily the Groovin’ The Moo tour earlier this year.

Everyone was just ready to do it and because it was a touring

festival it meant you got to make friends with so many people -

from the merch dudes to the other acts on the festival.

What is the most awkward experience you’ve had at a festival? We broke a couple of laws recently that are best left

unexplained.

Martin - took HIS dad to GTM this year - what was that experience like? Randall are you gonna be all over that in the near future for festivals you guys play? Mr Novosel was proud as punch. Aside from the fact the

guy is an absolute legend, I think it was really cool he got to see

his son in action. As for my parents attending a festival, absolutely.

They are both very musical people and I know they’ve been excited

to see a show, I’m just mindful of picking the right one.

What festival tips would you give to punters for the summer - best outfit ideas, drinks, getting on stage, crazy shit... Seriously, it sounds ridiculous but the most important

one is to give a shit. You should give a shit about the acts you

watch, you should give a shit about your friends and everyone else

in that festival. Get a vibe of community. Marty and I have always

been about doing whatever we want in a considerate fashion

so that’s how everyone else should play it out. Also, if you are

anywhere near as pale as I am, buy some fucking sun-screen.

Who’s your all time favourite artist to perform alongside at a festival with? Look, it’s no secret that we are really

good friends with the Bluejuice lads. Aside from

being lovely, hilarious, handsome and talented

they are also one of the hardest working live bands

out so it’s hard not to respect and enjoy that.

What festival would you like to play that you haven’t yet? Well we have almost played them all

so I think I’m going to have to go outside of the

country and think global domination worldwide

and go with Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.

Tell us what happens backstage at festivals - any big secrets or rumours you could confirm? All the gnarly shit you can imagine

is true. Yes, Flava Flav ate some food backstage

from the catering area. There was also a golf cart

incident involving Martin and Jo from Big Scary.

Matt Corby is a hugger and Hermitude are the

nicest people alive. In the end of it all, you get that

much excitement backstage and combine it with

an abundance of alcohol and baby, it’s on.

What’s it like being on a festival tour, are you guys on red bull all the time or what? Sometimes there are moments

where you think “I really need to crash here, I’m

exhausted” and then someone you know comes

running past your tent and suddenly you’re up on

your feet again because you do not want to miss

out on a thing. Everyone being together keeps the

energy going.

Any other crazy shit to add about festivals? Everyone needs to experience a festival

at least once. There is so much variety happening

in this country in terms of lineups and the

frequency of festivals, there really is something for

everyone.

more old-school fi lm favourites, cinephile classics, cult
