Free gigs at the Beach Road Hotel in Bondi
Every Wednesday night Beach Road Hotel in Bondi showcases an up-and-coming local indie band or two for free. Last night I went along to see a Blue Mountains indie pop quartet Cloud Control. If you’re into your Jays, you’d know who I’m talking about as their debut album Bliss Release has been a feature record all this week. Just like every Wednesday night, the room upstairs (The Rex) was packed with hipsters in their early 20’s. If that’s your kind of crowd, get out there and support the local music scene.
Generally, the support band kicks off around 8.30pm and the main act starts around 10pm. Entry is free and beer is cheap. Upcoming shows (and more to be announced) are listed below:
The Dirty Secrets + The Protectors + Royal Chant (9 June), Wolf & Cub + Kids Of 88 (16 June), Midnight Youth + Meow Kapow (23 June), Amy Meredith + Demon Parade (30 June), Tbc + One Jonathon (7 July), Tbc + The Chemist (14 July), Lost Valentinos + Alter Ego Mania (21 July), The Joy Formidable + Jinga Safari + The Temper Trap Dj’s (28 July), Vasco Era + I Am Giant (4 Aug), Parades + The Laurels + Rushcutter (11 Aug), Sound Casino + Sticky Fingers (18 Aug) and Snowdroppers + Jack Nasty Face (25 Aug).
