Gearing up for a massive long weekend? Here are 5 shows that will get you loose as a goose to celebrate the best of Aussie live music.
Sunbeam Sound Machine – Friday October 2, Shadow Electric, Melbourne
He’s got a new track Getting Young out and it is a bloody screamer. Nick Sowerby will be jetting off to CMJ soon, so now’s your chance to catch him in the flesh and see what the fuss is about.
The Bennies – Friday October 2, Max Watt’s Sydney, Sydney
If you got a party rock itch then The Bennies are the band to give you a scratch.
The Drones – Friday October 2, The Croxton, Melbourne
It doesn’t really matter if you’re familiar with The Drones or not. There have been reports of the uninitiated becoming transfixed by a mixture if elation and terror the minute Gareth Liddiard graces the room with his howling vocals.
The Beards – Saturday October 3, The Zoo, Brisbane
You should consider seeing a rock show played by a bearded band.
Tkay Maidza – Saturday October 3, Corner Hotel, Melbourne
Making beats and taking names is just another Tuesday for Adelaide rapper Tkay Maidza. Except this is Saturday and Melbourne, and the place you need to be to have a dance.
