Featured in this photo this week is indie pop maestros The Postmasters, who are playing twice at the Basement this weekend; on Friday with Greg’s Intervention and Rumblr, and on Saturday with Napoleonic, Betty Alto and Bleach It Clean. Find your way to their Facebook page to check out their new single, ‘Crave’!
Also on this week is Water Pushes Sand at the Ainslie Arts Centre on Wednesday, featuring the Australian Art Orchestra with the striking sounds of the Chinese province of Sichuan. Lostkeyz will be dropping into Lobrow as part of the Self-Titled EP Tour, playing alongside Genesis Owusu, Kirklandd and The Wumpaz. New Zealand band Salad Boys will be stopping in at the Front Gallery and Cafe this Thursday, with Marlon Bando and Waterford (one of DJ Loz’s personal favourites).
