LYYAR, BLOODS, KANG GANG & NARROW LANDS

Posted on: December 2nd, 2011 by clare

Get yourself down to Spectrum this Friday for a night of some of Sydney’s Best indy music presented by A Story Never Told.

LYYAR will be headlining the night, and with their recent Debut Ep ‘Outside Elsewhere’ released through Speak and Spell, the guys are going to get those heads moving and the feet a tapping. Lyyar are a must see.

With the recent success of the 3 piece Sydney girl outfit BLOODS, it was a given that they would be an essential part of the night. With their fun pop punk attitude and tunes the girls are sure to get the party set into the right mood.

KANG GANG are one of the newest bands to have hit up the live scene in Sydney, with their elusive and distinctive take on Surf Rock the guys are not to be missed.

To open the show will be rockers NARROW LANDS. This will be like a wall of noise hitting you in the face.

Friday December 2nd at 7 p.m.

THE SCRAPES

return for another wonderful free performance at
The People’s Republic of Australasia

but in a setting unlike anything you’ve seen before
(we’ll surprise you on the night)

Many visitors to the Republic have asked when they’ll get another chance
to see Adam and Ryan’s mesmerising amplified violin and guitar.
This is the evening, and if we can make it work, this will be a unique event for The Scrapes
and the People’s Republic. Be here so you can tell your grandchildren!

Accompanying Adam and Ryan
for the first time at the People’s Republic is the remarkable
Joel Stern
also joining us from Brisbane

Following these two sets, the evening continues
just up the road at Hardware Gallery
for their Sound Series #20
with another stellar line-up of talent…
