Haiku Hands has earned a reputation as one of the hardest working and most electrifying live acts in the country. Equally at home in sweaty dance clubs and on festival stages, their ‘We’ve Got Vinyl’ tour sees them rolling into UC Hub this Saturday alongside Neko Pink and Chella.
Canberra’s best velvet-clad band Lady Denman is bidding farewell to their longtime bassist this week. They’re throwing an all-out goodbye party at Gang Gang Cafe in Downer on Thursday with support from Zuko and Loom & York.
Elsewhere Ivy Lore, Mangrove, and Bec Taylor and The Lyrebirds are all celebrating big releases with shows this week and blues party band Snake Oil Preachers is set to make its triumphant return to the Smith’s Alternative stage on Saturday.
