On 21 June 1985, the first printed edition of X-Press Magazine hit Perth's streets. From humble beginnings as a small but plucky guide to Perth's nightlife, the magazine became a highly influential bible for all things music, art, fashion, food and drink in Perth. Curated by former X-Press editor Bob Gordon, the exhibition reflects on the magazine's cultural impact and legacy. With the title now owned by local media company Vanguard Media Group, it also looks to the brand's digital future.
Join them to launch their newest exhibition, X-Press Magazine: 41 Years on the Streets. They'll be celebrating with an electrifying panel conversation with journalists, musicians and those closest to the magazine, who'll reminisce on war stories from the trenches of rock 'n' roll and print journalism and reflect on the changing tides of fashion, media and pop culture in Perth. The evening will also include musical interludes from Abbe May.
