My boss came to me today with something that he has been involved in for some time now and feels very strongly about. When he presented me with two discs and asked me to take a moment to see what so many young kids out there are going through, I have to say that I didn’t expect this.
The main reason I am sharing this with you is because this is something that has now also touched me and I hope will continue to leak out and touch you too.We live in our little bubbles and often turn a blind eye to the horrible things that are happening to our youth around us. Now I’m only 23 years old myself, and to know that people my age are going through such physical and mental torture, not only breaks my heart but honestly urges me to make a difference.
The only bit of hope these guys can truly hang on to is that the beautiful people from Oasis are out there every single day trying to make the world a better place, one helpless kid at a time. But lets face it… they can’t do it alone. So all we ask is that you please open your heart, spread the word about Oasis, and watch this video to find out how you can help get behind this movement to take our kids off the street and back into a warm bed where they belong.
Stay tuned to see how we at Glue Store decide to play our part. That bit we haven’t worked out yet… but this is just a small introduction into what we have seen, and an open promise that we will do our best to make whatever difference we can. After all, this holds a special part in our hearts, as today’s youth are who we employ, who walk through our stores everyday and who we just simply LOVE. So how can we sit back knowing this could be you?
So please… Take a moment out of your busy lives to witness only a couple true stories showing the living hell these kids are trapped in daily. And keep in mind that there are 32,000 more where that came from.

Glue Store would like to welcome the Neuw-est brand to hit our stores this winter. So, what is it about Neuw that have got all us Glue folk in a frenzy? Well for starters… we heart denim! But not just any denim, only those that are made at the highest quality, designed for the perfect fit, and created in the greatest look will get our tick of approval. So when the boys from Neuw approached us with such a fresh look, and a passion for denim as strong as ours, how could we resist?
Hearing the Neuw guys speak of their latest project is truly a breath of fresh air. Their knowledge of denim is endless, with a wardrobe of their own that includes denim from all genres, all styles, all fits, all washes and all inspirations. But their biggest inspiration of vintage jeans and rock-n-roll can be seen plain as day through their designs.
But these designers sure ain’t neuw kids on the block. They have been around and have made their name known in the denim and fashion industry, having designed for Wrangler and Lee throughout their careers.
They’re all about being different, standing out and keeping it cool. Which is exactly what they have done, making their presence known throughout the streets of Sydney and Melbourne, with a stunt that was ice cold! Freezing $1000 cash in a massive block of ice, wheeling it into the middle of the city, and watching by-passers hack away at it with whatever instruments they can get their hands on. All in the spirit of their launch campaign – Greed!
Now I know we all have a bit of greed in us. So let your greedy-self rule! Come on in to your local Glue Store, and spoil yourself with a Neuw unique and quality denim at an affordable price.
Gas has landed! The suitcases have been unpacked, and stock has been injected into all Glue Stores Australia wide! We have been so excited to announce our launch of the Italian designed and loved denim label, Gas, as a new edition to the many great labels Glue Store already have to offer.
We admit we have a bit of a heavy foot when it comes to Gas, but that’s because we just know Australia will leap and cling to this label, the same way the European market have already done so for many years now, and are thrilled to be the ones to ship this unique brand your way!
New Darlinghurst venue The Commons was flooded on March 10th with media and high profile guests, all there to celebrate the coming of something great! With a runway parade showcasing GAS’ Spring 2010 collection, accompanied by music from DJ duo ‘Don & Johnson’ and ex-Sneaky Sound System saxophonist Nick Broadhurst.
We’ve put pedal to the metal when it comes to this label, and are positive it will leave all denim brands for dead! Don’t let this pass you by, pop on in to your nearest Glue Store to see for yourself what we’re raving on about.
Now, now. Get your mind out of the gutter, we’re not being rude. Le Coq Sportif that is! And it simply means ‘The Athletic Rooster’. And this sporty little rooster has made its name all over Europe, and is now learning to fly here on our own shores. With its emblem found on the shirts of many well-known football teams worldwide,they have also managed to peck their brand onto the rugby boots of a pack of Wallabies we have all come to love and support here in Oz.
There’s no denying that this is one cheeky and daring Coq that is always at the forefront of pop culture. With inspiration drawn from the 60’s and sporting legends, they manage to design chic street-wear that is setting trends worldwide. Just ask the super chic, super fresh, Ivy goers who made they’re way up to the Marco PoloPool Club last month to celebrate the launch of Le Coq Sportif’s newest campaign, Votre Histoire(Your Story), with Glue Store and Le Coq Sportif.
Votre Histoire is a tale about you. Your version. What do you make of it? So come on in to Glue Store and take a good look at Le Coq. Wear the clothes, spread the trend that has taken over Europe’s streets and make your own story.
The East Coast Blues and Roots Festival (aka: Blues Fest) will celebrate its 21st birthday this Easter with a five day extravaganza of blues, roots, soul, reggae, folk, dub, hip hop, rock n roll, country and world music. Late on Friday night an elderly Chicago gentleman by the name of George ‘Buddy” Guy will take the stage and thrill you to the core. Buddy is the revered idol of guitar gods such as Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and, more recently, Jack White. He is, as they say, the man. Last time I saw him perform he was rocking a baby pink suit, bowler hat and a pokadot tie. A legend like Buddy could rest his bones on a chair and humble his way through a few tunes and you’d be satisfied. Only he don’t do that. He remains a class A performer. Buddy has been known to play solos with one hand while changing out of his jacket with the other. When I saw him he left the stage and got down with the elated audience for an extensive wail. I patted him on the back and felt an fission of delta blues history run right down my spine. A word of warning about the Blues Fest for first timers: it’s long. Five days of festival fever can become an endurance test unless you’re mad for it. Check out the line up (bluesfest.com.au) and pick your days.

BDO tickets always sell out superfast. It’s our premier touring music festival with a history of rock and roll excess to rival Woodstock. Unlike Woodstock there’s precious little mud to worry about and your fellow revellers are a lot better dressed. I don’t even think it matters to some people who’s playing – just the chance to dress up and get tipsy in the blazing summer sun is reason enough to attend. In case you do care about the music, here’s a few highlights: Muse, Lilly Allen, Groove Armada, The Mars Volta, Eskimo Joe, Grinspoon, Ladyhawke, Kasbian, Peaches, Rise Against, and The Horror. While most dates have sold out they have added an extra show in Sydney and you can be in the running to score tickets right up to December. And by “score” I mean purchase. That’s how popular this thing is – you have to go in a ballot and pray to your god(s) just to be able to buy a ticket. See: bigdayout.com for all the relevant details.
