Hey guys and gals! Come be a part of Sydney's next big night out. Insert Coin(s) is an event that combines games, music, art and booze with a rock vibe.
Sydneys newest night out Insert Coin(s) makes it cool to be a geek.
Patrick Kolan (former IGN.com Entertainment Editor) and Mark Gerber of The Oxford Art Factory are proud to announce the birth of Insert Coin(s) - a new event series that pays tribute to old school amusement arcades. The night brings together games, music and art as well as geek and pop culture in a venue that is already known for setting the trends in these spaces.
"Amusement games were actually a feature of the original concept I had for the Oxford Art Factory." says co-founder Mark Gerber. Scaletrix, Pinball and Space Invaders were all initially envisioned, along with the live music and art installations, to help create a full spectrum of leisure activities for all who visited the OAF. He continues, "I floated the idea of running a regular night involving games with many before even proudly showing them my as yet unfinished Grand Scale Scaletrix tables (they're really huge) but finally found the perfect partnership in Patrick Kolan. Insert Coin(s) is a long held personal vision now realized and one that will complete another important facet of the Oxford Art Factory concept."
GAMES: Patrons pay a small door charge for a night of retro gaming (tabletop and standing arcade units) as well as the latest gaming titles.
MUSIC: DJs will spin a blend of 70s, 80s, 90s, modern rock and pop before and after awesome LIVE ACTS take to the main stage. The launch will feature two brilliant young acts, CAMDEN and BRACKETS!
ART: Shannon McKinnon of Secret Wars fame will invite you to watch well known ARTISTS do their magic on larger than life canvas panels with pen, paint and brushsee your favourite video game & pop culture heroes come to life right in front you! Artists for September 8th will be Jumbo, Sprinkles, Teem and Mike Watt!
There will be additional major announcements and surprises coming soon but for now lets just say that the Milk(y) Bar(s) will be on us!
Co-founder Patrick Kolan believes "We're all geeks at heart - whether you're passionate about gaming, music or art. Insert Coin(s) brings all of these loves together and douses it in 80s-era nostalgia and 50s milk bar fun. We're going to transform the Oxford Art Factory into a classic arcade, complete with tons of gaming and pinball machines. Viva la arcade!"
The series will also showcase modern gaming favourites and upcoming games from leading publishers, giving gamers and casual fans a chance to sample the latest titles ahead of release.
As amusement arcades become a rarity, nights like Insert Coin(s) give a new generation a taste of yesteryear.
