The Wikimen reassemble for the first time in ages February 4:30pm, Sun 8 February, 2026

Can it be? The Wikimen, despite the times that we are all handling with grace and ineptitude, will congregate at the Artist Bar. We shall attempt to behave as such and give as best we can, a fine impression of artists at work. Attempting to work in a degustation of fine modelling of interpersonal relationships in the genre of music making.

“But why?” one asks with the ennui of the early 21st century philosopher flanneur. “Well,” you reply rhetorically, because the children …” And that might be enough, if one is paying attention to the trends of global reproductive rates and environmental concerns regarding the gameplay of attention seeking marauders intent on maximising speculative audiences for a quick exit at the last possible moment before interest wanes.

So, we discussed (Potentially first person plural) is it worthwhile booking a gig that barely pays for us to congregate, inviting our lovers and dreamers of yore to bear witness to our relational frictions in preparation for a full calendar of one performances in 2026? “Bien sur!” we replied handing our eurofetishising tell on a plate to all our poker playing compadres. And that we replied was that. Furthermore there is nothing better that might be said than to spend the time onboarding to a tech platform that might look with interest upon our activity by encouraging our gentle relations and their next generation accompaniments to fill in the form for a ZERO COST TICKET! I mean, “?Whoah Jehosephat and the Raita of Salted Yoghurts, balm my burning taste buds just for a moment!?

Yes thats right, watch your bargain hunting lower intestinal link to your parasympathetic nervous system start to twitch at the very ancient thought of Something for Nothing start to play out in real time. This isn’t some type of simulated bait and switch – its a real one. Your eyes and ears sharpening the wiki community into action like lightning into the Shelley’s OG monster. As the band tightens its grip on a reality nouveau there’ll be tight pants all round as excitements waxes and wanes. No problem, several of our tribe have skills with vestments commensurate with a Certificate IV in needle and counter point. No stranger to the counter meals either the mob will need to satisfy themselves with hyper processed potato starch and fermented grain like mash. Im sure you could sneak in a sandwich or tepid tupperware salad, hidden in the accoutrement of a toddler or elder statepersons security detail.

Get amongst it

Wiki prefigure the start of Spring on the 7th at Open Studio in the evening.

It is one of the seasons that involve growth and dancing. September 7 marks the ninth time the Wiki community has attempted to manifest a spring time this month. Forms of swinging, warbling, pastaphillia, felting, embouchure and doe eyed winkage. A rumour of gelati made be made, a threat of jazz some antique pop and melodies of yore will be put in the collective armpit and will last for at least 12 hours. The ensemble contains no aluminium and wholesomely invites you to partake in the analog pleasures of absorption of vibration. The lost art of making eyes will be encouraged as will the invocation of shimmy. We’d love to share the salon of Atelier Ouvert de Cote de Nord for perhaps the last time this week. 

you can get tickets here !

Greetings – From Spudfest to Northcote

Direct from their triumphant performance at the Great Trentham Spudfest the Wikimenschen hike to Open Studio for a retrospective of their favourite pieces from yesteryear, tomorrow and pre-internet song by song appreciation record parties. This herd of cats will remember how to play their antiquated equipment in front of your very ears and politely request that you emerge, lightly breakfasted to dance with your chosen family members and at least one attractive stranger who somehow resembles your aunt who has all the choreography and sempaphore skills. Allow them (and the ensemble) to move through an astonishing array of unrelated styles and popular music that is asynchronously fashionable, inappropriately appropriating the amore de recording by ghosts, fruity salads, warm pancakes, libations made to order and loungerooms of yore. Tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/the-wikimen

The ancient gigs

Many of a time in the past the gigs were posted here and as the interweblets grew and grew and the social obligation was to power the shows through some form of viralisation of content the world started again fixating on the the ancient and well worn pit stops of snorkelling, macrame and correspondence. of course once the certificates had been laminated and eyes were dotty and the teas were hybridised adn the lines were crossed and the apologies made we all made our lunch and made eyes across the room much like our aunties in the days gone by. Thank you

A Friday evening – yes the 1st of July

Not enough tropicality in your life? No wonder the end of the fiscally oriented year feels so challenging. Why not take that negativity and invert it with a measured melodious dose of The Wikimen, complete with Vitamin Ros, Nara, Declan and essential minerals such as Justin,Renato and Dan. You’ll be full of vigour and eager to make whoopie or just dance as you please. Vim the crap out of the evening with a group of humans eager to have sophisticated conversation bereft of esoteric nonsense and full of anecdotes that you’ll be able to take home and chortle at several times over!

Well hello January with a concert at Open Studio!

wikimenOpenstudioJan23

Oh my what a good idea to come to Open Studio on the 23rd of January!

What will happen?
Well, there may be a lovely t-shirt to try on.
Is this a humourous version of rhetorical speech?
But it may be too hot to wear a t-shirt.
Yes! Once all the people start showing off the fun new moves that the kids do when they try to impersonate their elderly relatives and their children.
Thats nice.
Yes it is, isnt it.

The Wikimen at Open Studio 27 June in the evening!

Extremely please The Wikimen come to play for the pleasure on a Saturday Evening for you and your nicest friends. Please come to try your favourite old time dancing moves and look in to the eyes of your nearest and dearest. Perhaps consider inviting an old flame to reminisce about the time you shared a pineapple or other tropical treat with that neighbourhood mouser who was having trouble giving up the hard stuff. Share a story and a french pancake in the presence of Nara Demasson, Ros JonesDeclan Jones Dan Witton and Chris Lewis who will do their very bestest to sprinkle you aurally with the tunes that your great aunt was partial to at a weekend soiree back at about 2.47am with cucumber sandwiches and a special cup of tea with a side of screech.

So nice so close to the yuletide happy holidays for your pleasures. Have some sort of good to eats and then take your friend by the paw to help the digestion onto the parquetry to move your internal organs in the most amiable fashion to the sounds of hula choro old timer popular tunes.
With the fine Joneses on the brass it will be very pleasant for your nieces and nephews, aunties and uncles.
