The Coy House

Canberra's freshest clothing brand Coy dropped one of the most memorable house parties for their brand's launch at the end of last year. Decked out with live painting, free booze and sweet tunes throughout the night it was an impressive event pulled off by the brand's creator, Pat Rose.

The venue was the Coy House, a once ordinary little house in Lyneham with lush (read: overgrown) gardens and a spacious deck. The party kicked off a warm Summer afternoon, with sunshine flooding the garden; the sideways fridge full of Magners and sangria bathtub went down a treat.

The party featured some of the best street talent Canberra and beyond has to offer; Houl, JRB, King of Nothing, Mr Manok, Sancho, Bugz, Abyss .607, Walrus, Voir, Sprinkles, Wyrm, Goodie, Roskoe, Oh Jessie, Mim, Jess Mess, Alycia and Hams. Each artist had a wall on the inside or outside of the house to do their things to with the help of MTN Australia.

The result was a house with such a diverse range of art (not to mention that amazing party), with spontaneous collaborations happening, it was hard to not become inspired by all the creativity flowing.

Coy is undoubtedly a brand to watch, with a party so huge straight off the bat, there's no signs of slowing down from the brand. Best bet is to grab some fresh, hand screenprinted threads from their website or Sancho's Dirty Laundry when they reopen.

Welcome to the beat

Hola homies, welcome to the mean streets of Canberra.

Our aim is to expose some of the ridiculous things going down on the streets of our severely underrated capital. 

Featuring the local street art and 'low brow' art scene and the people and events who make it all happen.
