The Life & Music of Kydric Shaw
10:00am Luna Studio
Saw this super interesting email come through for the guide. It's not a "gig" necessarily, but an exhibition for the late Kydric Shaw, a rock virtuoso who across 1977-1979 crafted a substantial amount of self-produced/engineered music at his home studio. The exhibition is put on by his own son, and it serves as a time capsule into the sydney/inner-west rock scene back then. You'll be able to listen to these albums and learn more about everything there. Super interesting stuff. As many of you who use the guide are based in the inner-west and are across the rock scene here/participate in playing in it, I figured this might spark your interest.

Gig Guide Playlist
Listen to (almost) every artist listed in the gig guide this week:
Updated every Wednesday!
about the guide
This guide is as simple as we can practically get away with. We’ll include some occasional commentary (feel free to submit your own!) to help give you context on what can be a dizzyingly complex network of musicians, collectives, communities, and spaces, or just make sure you don’t miss out on catching your next favourite act.
Got a gig you think should be listed here? Send our friendly team of Gig Researchers an email!
Artists, managers, promoters, and venues:
Self-promo is fine — we love it when you let us know what you’ve got going on! But we won’t
publish your marketing/social copy verbatim or give you special consideration in the guide.
We generally don’t list cover/tribute bands or background-music sets at hospitality venues.
All listings are at our own discretion. We will also graciously refuse any offer of door
spots for shows where we can buy tickets.
