Melbourne’s Federation Square will return this year with yet another free live music festival, offering a killer line up of independent acts and emerging talent on the Aussie scene. The program sets itself around Australia Day, showcasing home grown talent in genres of indie, blues, dance and rock, from across the country side.
Rarely does a single show combine acts of such pedigree, however every now and then, a show comes along with headline acts that make you immediately begin a solemn prayer that tickets are still available. The Orb and Bomb the Bass playing in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane is one of them.
My first memory of this guy is from his work with the Global Underground albums in the mid 90′s thinking… why the fuck do all these guys have such weird names (IE: Nik Fish, Nick Warren, Dave Seamen and John Digweed). Nevertheless, he’s a pioneer of progressive house and he’s also in town!!!!
As if Fridays weren’t awesome enough already, Wah Wah Lounge in conjunction with Club Ministry are making Fridays get taken to a whole new level in 2012, with the return of Outrageous Fridays @ Wah Wah Lounge in Melbourne on the famed Lonsdale strip.
Looking for a little bit of glamour, class and sophistication on a Saturday night. Feel like being treated like an A class celebrity, with table service, a little bit of privacy and a multitude of bling? If so, Saturdays @ Baroq House is the place for you every Saturday night in the nightlife capital of Australia, Melbourne.
The year was 1997. I’d just started my 1st year of high school, people were trying to decipher the lyrics to The Prodigy’s track “Breathe” and Thursday nights @ The Laundry decided to play Hip Hop and Funk for a change.
Music festival season is kicking off with Summadayze 2012 in Adelaide on New Years Eve.
The festival will visit four cities in four days and is guaranteed to be big, bright and colourful.
Sick of nothing to to do Hip Hop stylez on Wednesday night? Looking for a new reason not to study or show up to work on Thursday? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Hood Rapz new residency @ The Workshop Melbourne is your brand new destination on Wednesday nights!!!
How many rappers out there have a political science degree, have helped build an orphanage in Afghanistan, spent a year in jail as well as managed to sell about 300,000 records without using a record label? One, and if you haven’t heard of him, his name is Immortal Technique and he’s in town!
Returning to Australia for another round trip in February is Los Angeles native Ras G and The Afrikan Space program for 4 shows in major capital cities, delivering the experimental, healing and easy listening sounds that fans have become accustomed to since the early 90′s.
