8) Basement Groove
15th May
What: In these turbulent times to groove or not to groove is a common query we all face. One week we are restricted to seats and the next we are on our feet. For this reason, when the opportunity to dance presents itself, one must seize it. That is why your secret friends have come together to deliver you such an opportunity. Meet in ‘the bunker’ on the corner of Caxton Street and Petrie Terrace for some disco, house, and something a little deeper.
Why: Hot tip – circumvent the query conundrum by establishing a solid routine of getting pissed on your own.

What: Following the success of her debut EP Hold Yourself Together, Asha Jefferies has toured extensively around Australia with artists such as Julia Jacklin, Lime Cordiale and City and Colour. Today she is announcing a national tour from Adelaide to Brisbane in celebration of her new single Crybaby. The tour throughout May will be the first interstate shows Asha has played for quite some time and a chance for fans to witness her graceful and raw live sound in an intimate setting. Accompanied by her full band, expect a soundscape of dreamy and delicate stories flooded in love, loss and surrender.
Why: The least viscerally offensive Asha you will ever come across. Because you don’t actually have to converse with her.

3) Gasoline Anthem
14th May
What: Since their formation in 2018, Wraith have been kicking goals & touring intensely off their own backs whilst gathering fans everywhere they go, touring with the likes of Vulvodynia (SA), No Zodiac (US) & decimating Japan & New Zealand prior to the outbreak of Covid-19. Experience this heavy metal band this.
Why: “Decimating Japan”? There’s no way they didn’t receive some legal challenge from Godzilla’s agents.

2) When The World Explodes
15th May
What: Brisbane punk outfit Bad Neighbour are back again with their “heart out on the table” ethos. Having packed out shows across Brisbane and Gold Coast as much as Covid would allow for the beginning of 2021, the band have been eagerly writing and recording with new addition Zoe Middleton. The quartet are back with another single, and a show to celebrate having taken a slightly grittier, and morbid direction with their songwriting.
Why: Gritty, morbid punk? Well, what a twist.

1) Earth Frequency Festival
14th-17th May
What: Earth Frequency Festival is a 4 day outdoor festival, based in South-East Queensland, Australia. While fitting in to many cultural niches or pigeon holes such as music concert, transformational festival, tribal gathering, doof, workshop conference etc, the aim of Earth Frequency Festival is to go beyond these traditional tags and exist as a multi-faceted gathering focused broadly on creativity, community, connection, intention and inspiration, with an evolving re-invention of itself in response to the evolution of its supporting communities. Party-goers can look forward to heart-thumping sets from local, national and international music guests.
Why: Generic music festival.
