I know Thomas likes publicising gigs and stuff on his blog so since he's out of action online for the present I'll do this one. There's gonna be a gig called Ska Wars at the Substation Garden on Saturday, 6th November. Starts at 4pm, ends late, bring your own food and drinks. Tickets are $8 at the door.
It's mainly a ska-punk event, but don't let that stop you - there's a band called The Model Lipstiques playing at 4pm and they're pretty good. Kinda like a less jaded, lo-fi Pulp with a Singaporean accent. Other bands include System Kills People, Punkrocket, Bloody Rejects, etc. I have no idea what the rest sound like. Noisy and incoherent, probably. Here's a little trick to use if you're not sure whether or not the gig is worth $8. Bring a camera, explain you're a student on a school project and ask if you can pop in to snap a few photos. The organisers will usually let you in. Once you're in, take a look around and see if you like the bands. If you don't, snap - or pretend to snap - a few photos and get the hell out. If you do like the music, go back outside, tell them you've decided to stay for the whole thing as a member of the audience and pay up. Don't be an asshole and stay without paying, though. Support the arts and all that. |
