The irrepressible Konrad Lenz has posted this to facebook and given us permission to use it:
Bus stop, Northbourne Ave, night
The Register recently described instagram as “looking at the world through urine filled goggles” but I still liked this one enough to share.

Smiths Alternative Bookshop on Alinga St in Civic is about as intimate as a music venue can get.
For last night’s show it worked beautifully.
Fans moved the hot summer air around the pillars, cold cold Coopers Pale went for $6 a bottle, and people walking down the street heard the music and just came on in. [...]

A cracking night out via Facebook:

An evening of acoustic rock & roll at one of Canberra’s best music venues. Completely unplugged. Completely raw. Completely beautiful. Entry by donation (Rich = Note / Poor = Gold coin)…

The Phoenix is a mecca for Canberra’s boho fringe, a place in the bus interchange where toothless old men and hip young school of art types mix with disreputable bloggers over pints and lashings of original live music.
Singer songwriter Konrad Lenz has been taking pictures in the Phoenix since 2005 and has sent in [...]

Facebook brings word of musical mayhem at the ever awesome Polish Club in O’Connor:

Mikelangelo & the Tin Star

It’s the collaboration everyone (Fun Machine) has been waiting for!

Swagger down to the cheap big beer venue that’s within cycling distance from you for the music extra vaganza of the season.

DO NOT forget to put rhinestones [...]

Will this be a conceptual train wreck (with the music up too loud) that seemed like a good idea to the cast and author when they were [...]
