Courtyard show
Big fish, little fish, cardboard box! Yes, this is a different kind of Sunday sesh — it's a family-friendly rave, mainly geared to kids 8 and under, but with real DJs playing real bangers (and a licensed bar area for a cheeky one) as well as balloons, bubbles, and face painting. It's also a strobe-free event, which we love to see.

Album launch. The OLC is the "Ozanam Learning Centre", a community inclusion centre operated by Vinnies NSW in Woolloomooloo. They've written in: "[The OLC is] an amazing space next door to the Matthew Talbot hostel ... aimed at providing opportunities for inclusion and support for those who need it, giving people who are homeless or needing help a place to connect, learn, participate in activities, and access support. As part of their service, they offer a music program that gives people an opportunity to continue their love of music and expand their musical talents. The OLC Music Collective are participants ... who have formed a band. They’re about to launch their third album, 'Alternate Voices' which features twelve original songs that delves into the personal stories, aspirations, and growth of the band members."

Given the individuals concerned with putting the show on, and the fact that they don't tour a dud, I'm going to stick my neck out there and suggest you take a look into this one. – JH

Extra Spicy + Stoney Roads: Jungle / Footwork Day Party
W/ Nickname (DJ), Grips (UK) (DJ), Mincy (DJ), Possible People (DJ), Myledo (DJ), Low Stakes (DJ)
2:00pm Factory Theatre
Free daytime outdoor party at The Factory! Two impeccably excellent local identities in Stoney Roads and Extra Spicy, putting on a selection of selectors. Jungle and Footwork. Go have a dance! As we've previously mentioned, we want to be able to surface what's happening with parties in Sydney - but it probably shouldn't go in the gig guide, and we're not quite sure how to the manage the curation of such a guide. Do you have any ideas? Let us know!

Truckload of Sky: The Music of David McComb (The Triffids)
8:00pm Factory Theatre
This is an interesting one. A night of unreleased music by David McComb, performed by friends of his inc. members of The Triffids and Black-eyed Susans. Apparently they've done an album of the songs that had never been put to tape. Kind of surreal.
