Fun Stuff > BAND
Sydney till February -> please recommend some live music events
PsychoLychee:
Hi there, ill be in sydney for the next three months and looking for live music for free (or cheap at least). even without the restrictions of my already tortured musical taste, free live music seems pretty hard to find in sydney city. u could go out all night listening to some underground rave stuff, okay. but what if u want to hear bands like muse, slut, ratatat (i already got the 18th of november gig), placebo, mogwai, or also some jazz (no new orleans or dixie).
anyone got any ideas where to go? ("out of this city" is no possible answer) :roll:

As I am at work, i should probably recomend you check out www.liveguide.com.au where I provide info about the best upcoming events.
As for more comprehensive stuff.... for cheap live music, there's Spectrum at 34 Oxford St (right near the city end), Club 77 (near the coke sign at King's Cross, but filled with indie wankers), The Hopetoun Hotel, the Sandringham Hotel (there's a guy name of Louis Tillet who plays there for free every Sunday who's pretty good)
The Blow are playing sometime in November, and if you suddenly come into money you can see Lou Reed, M.Ward, Joanna Newsom, and the Violent Femmes at the Sydney Festival
there's more. so much more. i'll help you more soon...

I'm overseas right now, but isn't the Newtown Festival supposed to be on around this time of year? There's usually a few decent bands who play at that, plus the Chaser guys usually do a show, amongst other things. The whole thing's free, and it's generally good fun. And every Thursday there's a free d'n'b night at the Abercrombie from about 8 or 9pm. Probably not what you were looking for, but hey, it's free and generally good fun...

Come to Melbourne for a bit!
Melbourne live music scene >>> Sydney live music scene.
