Paint-clad party band Fun Machine‘s live appearances have become all-too infrequent in recent years. Their set at The Polo on Friday will be all the more remarkable for it. Fans won’t want to miss the chance to catch one of the city’s most beloved acts.
sideway finally has the chance to host the rescheduled portal [01] listening event this Wednesday evening. Expect ambient, experimental and generally left-of-centre sounds from a host of aural and visual artists in pluto, foras and niph.
Elsewhere, singer-songwriter Odette is set to bring songs from her 2020 album Herald to Canberra this Friday, and Northern Beaches grunge revivalists Dear Seattle head to UC Hub on Thursday night.
