In Italian ‘aperitivo’ is a little something to wet your whistle. Before the screening of Italian film-noir Suburra, DOC Gastronomia, Melbourne’s masters of the ‘aperitivo’ get your juices flowing with a special night in The Blackhearts Club, celebrating the best of Italian eating and drinking. Pianist-In-Residence Mark Fitzgibbon will be in ‘Viva Italia’ mode on the ivories from 5.30pm, and from 8.30pm till late DJ Principal Blackman (aka Guy Blackman) will caress your ears with a selection of classic Italian and pan-European slow grooves.

PRINCIPAL BLACKMAN (DJ SET)
Principal Blackman is the DJ alter ego of Guy Blackman, co-manager of Melbourne independent label institution Chapter Music. Expect classic Italian and pan-European slow grooves, oddball synth-pop and dancefloor curios from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
