Overview
It's the stuff live music fans' dreams of made of: four gigs at four of Brisbane's best venues, all within two blocks of each other, and all on the same day. Oh, and did we mention that they're all free? No, we're not making this up.
The event that should have everyone salivating is none other than the Mountain Goat Valley Crawl, which is exactly what it sounds like. On February 27, you're invited to trek between The Zoo, The Brightside, The Foundry and Black Bear Lodge, take in a jam-packed lineup of local bands (and a couple of Sydneysiders too), plus devour plenty of frosty, refreshing beers. The epic day of entertainment is sponsored by a brewery, after all.
On the rockin' sounds side of things, a whopping 20 bands will take to the four stages, spanning everything from grunge to surf punk to abstract R&B. We'd name our highlights, but with such a chock-a-block roster of talent, it really is easier just to list them all:
Ayla
Babaganoüj
BANFF
Baskervillain
Bryce Schneider
Bugs
DELUSO
FLOWERTRUCK
Forever Ends Here
FOREVR
Good Boy
Hound
Jeremy Neale
Machine Age
MKO Sun
Shifting Sands
Stateside
Tempura Nights
The Creases
Twin Haus
Details of the who plays at which venue variety are yet to be announced; however the whole shindig will kick off at 5pm. Given we know the what, where and when of it all in a general sense, the only thing left for you to do is clear your calendar for an ace day of tunes, brews and hopping around the Valley.
The Mountain Goat Valley Crawl takes place at The Zoo, The Brightside, The Foundry and Black Bear Lodge on February 27. For more information, check out the event's Facebook page.
