Squeaky Clean’s laneway festival will be making its triumphant return this week when Squeak Out 2 takes over Verity Lane. Ska outfit The Reserve Skank of Australia, hip-hop gathering Berra Bars, and Snowy Mountains punks The Pingers are just some of the acts that will be in attendance.
Ever-evolving Chinese psych-rock band Run Run Run are out and about on their first-ever trip to Australia. Catch them at Dissent on Saturday night with support from locals Assassins and Hume Highway supergroup Fine Motor.
One of Canberra’s most punctual bands, Capybara Spa, will be appearing at Smith’s on Sunday afternoon. The band are also set to turn their performance into a live recording.
