Primitive Calculators will make their fourth cameo for the year at a farewell party for Melbourne watering hole St Jerome’s on March 25.
The synth-punk pioneers are taking part in St Jerome’s Last Days carnival, a two-week “wake” that will conclude with a "Tent Down, Circus Over" party on March 28.
The Caledonian Lane bar, which spawned the annual Laneway Festival, will close at the end of the month after five years as a CBD institution. Landlords Myer reportedly plan to turn the bar into a shitty pizza joint loading dock.
Jerome Borazio, the owner of the bar and co-director of the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, plans to lease an old Harley-Davidson assembly factory in Little Lonsdale Street for St Jerome’s Mk II. The new venue will reportedly be called St Jerome’s Preston School of Industry.
Apparently Pavement guitarist Spiral Stairs, who fronts a band of the same name, gave Borazio his blessing in exchange for "free beer".

What is it about the Jerome's people not being able to come up with new names and just rehashing existing names? i.e. Preston School of Industry and Newtown Workers Club?
this place is a shitter you cant take a shit in peace cause the toilets are fucked and you cant sit on the seats cause their all fucked. i prefer the old bar. its sick. id rather fuck the owners of the old bar than jerome he smells like a salami sandwhich that got stuck in a fat kids bottom on the school bus in 1998 and recently resurfaced after 6 months of intensive weight loss. i bet he slays mega babes though so good for him. sick.
