8:00pm MoshPit Bar
"5 Bands from Coogee are going on tour way out to the gritty inner west. Will they survive? Will Erskineville survive the onslaught from the sunny beaches?" I'm copying and pasting this because it wasn't a thing I was expecting to read while updating the gig guide. What are bands from Coogee? Where do they hang out? How do they work? Insights gratefully received.
