This year marks 25 years of Wheatus’ inescapable hit Teenage Dirtbag. To celebrate, the band is heading out on tour and will be making a stop at UC Hub on Friday night.
A collective of Canberra’s finest musicians will pay tribute to a musical icon on Friday night when Smith’s Alternative plays host to Black Messiah: The Music of D’Angelo. Head to the Alinga Street bar from 9:30 pm to catch interpretations and reimagined works from across D’Angelo’s storied career.
Dissent’s doors are open for the new year and Wednesday will see two hardcore heavyweights in L.O.W. and Human Condition take to the stage. Noise music pioneer and amplified glass virtuoso Lucas Abela will perform on Saturday night.
