UC Live is kicking off semester two in style this week with a stacked lineup of shows. Adelaide outfits West Thebarton and George Alice will be joined by Lucy Sugerman, Fin Burton, Crocodylus and Sesame Girl across Wednesday and Thursday at UC Hub.
Friday night sees Transit bar playing host to the aptly named Friday Fiesta. Expect Latin, reggae and roots music from the likes of Los Chavos, Pachamama, and DJs Dede and Frank.
For jazz lovers, catch Alex Raupach, Mia Barham and Brendan Keller-Tuberg performing at the Drill Hall Gallery on Saturday, while Sydney-based jazz and free improv collective Microfiche play across town at Ainslie Arts Centre.
