Parrots with Piercings are an “alt-punk two-piece feed” who play HARD, FAST and LOUD, as is required of them this coming Friday at The Phoenix from 7 pm. Parrots with Piercings (whose Soundcloud page you can find here) will be playing alongside Black Heart, Big Kahuna, Charlotte & The Harlots and Prophecise for one big night at The Phoenix. Might want to bring your earplugs for that one!
Also on Friday, Big Gumbo Funk Band will be at the Austrian Australian Club hosting Bucky & Jeffro’s Pro Blues & Roots Jam, which promises to be a night of “New Orleans and funk grooves followed by jamming.” Entry is free! Meanwhile at Transit Bar, the fantastic Slow Dial will be headlining the bill as Feral Brewing Company showcase some new brews on the taps.
Saturday night will see the long-awaited Norwegian black metal gods Satyricon make their grand entrance at The Basement from 8 pm. They will be playing Perth black metal band Deadspace. Also on Saturday, the hard-workin’ Guyy will be over at the Old Canberra Inn, while at Smith’s Alternative there will be two jazzy launches with Rachel Thorne and IN2DEEP both dropping a new LP from 3 pm. At The Phoenix meanwhile, it’s a night of stoner rock glory with Melbourne’s Planet of the 8s playing at The Phoenix with Frozen Planet 1969, Mule and Monoceros, starting at 8 pm.
