UG Beats at Transit tomorrow night has some sort of ‘rock’ theme, as opposed to the usual ‘repetitive beats’ theme.

Also Downsyde are at the same venue tonight. You’ll have to pay to get in (a tenner I believe), which is unusual, but there you go.

yay for feldons.

Skipping Girl Vinegar + Julia and the Deep Sea Sirens (duo) + Jonno Zilber tonight (thurs) at The Front in Lyneham. You might recognise Skipping Girl Vinegar’s tunes from JJJ or commercial radio, it’s a cosy night of alt-acoustic pop. doors at 7:30pm, $18 I think.

Doomsday Festival is $15 not $25 due to a reduction in the original amount of bands that were going to play .
