I went to this originally in 2015 as a birthday gift. Antonio Sánchez performed this at the State Theatre, and the performance changed my whole perspective on Drumming as an artform. Watching him do the score live, especially for the opening title sequence (IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW) was such a formative moment for my 13 year old self lol. If you're free for this, I would highly reccomend attending. Man... how the hell has it been 10 years already. I'm 23 this year. Damn.

Listen to (almost) every artist listed in the gig guide this week:
Updated every Wednesday!
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.
Thanks for being part of the community that is keeping Sydney's music scene alive.
SydneyMusic.net is not-for profit, but costs money to curate and run - and we're at risk of needing to shut the project down due to costs. If you find it useful, please consider buying some merch or donating to support us.
