About Underground Melbourne
A blog homage to the hidden corners and less-traversed beauties of Melbourne. Covering food, shopping, architecture, subcultures, events and whatever other small pockets of oddity seem endearing and exciting. This blog will be an evergrowing ode to all that is small scale, passionate, uncompromising and even challenging about Melbourne – and defines it as the city I love.
Congrats on the site guys! Have been trying to launch something like this for a while, but you beat me to it and are doing a stellar job! Loving it!
Hi there,
Great underground of melbourne fashion..lol.. i would like to add another hidden fashion market here http://danzo.com.au
Hope everyone could find it useful..
Hey there,
I just thought I’d make a couple od suggestions for the site.
Cabaret Nocturne (http://cabaretnocturne.net) is a monthly dark alternative club. It moves about a bit, but it’s currently at La Di Da on Little Bourke Street. It runs over two floors with level one playing goth, dark alternative, some indie and retro and the basement playing industrial, EBM and dark electro.
I’m in the startup phase of a site http://gothcitymaps.com which aims to make maps showing sites of interest to dark alternative types (shops, clubs, bars, tourist attractions etc.) for everry city in the world. There is a Melbourne shopping map on there which might be useful as a reference for some of your articles. (I think I might add a few new places based on what you’ve reviewed here too)
Also, Peril no longer does piercings and the map link in the review doesn’t work anymore.
Great site, thanks!
Hi! Wonderful information and site.
Just curious if you are interested in underground music performances and a community which is going in Melbourne? Send us an email if you would like to discuss. In a nut shell we are looking for ways to expand awareness of underground and extreme music, and associated performances in this fantastic city.
Hey awesome underground melbourne! You should have an email address that we can send stuff too. In the meantime, thought this might interest you http://radicalcrossstitch.com/2008/08/16/the-revolution-is-handmade/

Greetings I run a little book store In Brunswick St called Polyester Books and I would be honored to be included in your list of undergound book stores.
We’ve been raided twice, once for Drug literature and once for porn. Surely underground enough.
Please email or ring on 94195223 if you’d like more info.
We also have a web site at polyester.com.au
Best regards
Paul Elliott
Hi, would you consider tagging your posts by suburb so you work could be include in local sites like http://indolentdandy.net/collingwood/ and http://indolentdandy.net/carlton/ – please have a look and let me know. Thanks!
sure! I’ll give it a try… might take a while.
We share some of the same interests.
May I add your blog to the “Underground Journalism & eZines” section of MELBOURNE BELOW?

Cheers, Michael.
Thanks – there are now 4 local sites syndicating content from 10 or more blogs each. See Collingwood, Carlton, Fitzroy and Brunswick.
Hello Underground Melbourne! Keep up the fascinating information! lml
Howdy! Great idea. I’ll be working through it in the next few days.
Could I add my film night Shadows held at ABC Gallery in Collingwood? I screen titles that (mostly) aren’t available locally in an informal gallery/bar atmosphere. Frot he next two weeks on Sunday and Friday nights after that.
