This location's not actually a secret - it's someone's backyard in Marrickville and the details are in the More Info link. This is an incredibly exciting return of a much-loved DIY backyard gig series that happened in the '00s. I have heard tales about these shows, and I have just discovered that there's a bit of camcorder footage on YouTube as well. Two reformed bands that from what I can see have not been active since 2003, which is a year before I started seeing live music. Rare. Good. Awesome. Also free, BYO, and all ages / kid-friendly.

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.
