Beth Uhe from BB Sabina joins Baini on the Big Brekky Show to disucss Dissolve, the 8CCC Feature Album of the Week.

Dissolve is an immersive, sprawling album built around themes of transformation, transcendence and the act of letting go. Across its seven-track landscape,
layered shoegaze guitars collide with pulsing atmospheric synths, trip-hop rhythms and post-rock dynamics, shifting between moments of intensity and space to create something vibrant, surreal and transportive.

Sarah Wilson from ECNT joined Baini on the Big Brekky to chat about the upcoming Gaslit: Blitz and Boogie event.

The event, Saturday August 29th, will be held to distribute ‘Ban Fracking’ signs across Darwin suburbs. Sarah noted that 120 volunteers will be needed to hand out signs to the houses that have registered, and put the call out on the show for people to sign up online.

After the ‘Blitz’ comes the ‘Boogie.’ From 2-6pm, an open party will be hosted at the Nightcliff ECNT space with food, live DJs, banner painting, screen printing and more.

Sarah outlined the reasons for the event, and the need to promote anti-fracking sentiment throughout the NT.

“Fracking in the Northern Territory has been going on for almost two decades now, and the community has been super strong this whole time in holding off full scale production gas fracking. But there are really big players in the Beetaloo Basin where they want to frack in the Northern Territory now. Santos, a huge company, have escalated the Beetaloo Basin as their number one most important project they want to go ahead with”

Sarah gave an explanation as to how this posed huge risks to waterways and climate. The fracking process not only involves drilling up to 4kms deep and 10kms wide into the basin, but also potentially harmful chemicals continue to be injected into the earth which could cause contamination.

If you’d like to volunteer for the Blitz and Boogie event or register for a 'Ban Fracking' sign, go to the Gaslit webpage to sign up.

Friday 14 August is a Winter Night Market from 5pm on the Town Council Lawns. Ola, Community Projects and Events Officer from Alice Springs Town Council talks us through what to expect this evening. The community eventy is leaning into a medieval theme and besides some new food trucks and free chai and hot chocolate you can join in perusing all the stalls - but get there around 5.45pm for a surprise! The event would not be Mparntwe Alice Springs; without a great lineup of live music and the Brekky Show also chatted with two of the acts - Be Ward as part of the new trio Fuego Encantado (with Pin Rada and Luiz Gubeissi) as well as Malindi Morris and Goran Gajić from trio East of West (with Philip Griffin)
