Mario Kart Live will be out and about on tour this week, including a stop in the nation’s capital. On Friday night at Smith’s, punters can get behind the Wii remote wheel while the band performs the soundtrack and reacts in real time. Watch what happens when someone gets a star.

Gia Ransome is set to celebrate the release of her new indie rock/psychedelic pop single ‘Crush’ this week. She’ll perform at The Shaking Hand on Friday night alongside Peach Lane, The Drive By’s and Fin Geach.

On Saturday afternoon at Cook’s Holy Covenant Church, Musica da Camera and Sally Greenaway will present Australian Gifts: A Sound To Behold, a tapestry of Australian music by a string of Australian composers. On Sunday, you can catch Radiohead’s catalogue reimagined in haunting choral arrangements during Radiohead Uncovered at Gorman Arts Centre.
