Overview

Prepare for some news that might make you feel old: the Veronicas' first album, The Secret Life of..., was released a decade ago. Circa 2005, Brisbane's singing twins scaled the pop world and made the city's music scene shine a little brighter in the process.

It's fitting, then, that the Brightside has chosen to commemorate their debut the only way they know how — by throwing a massive party, of course. Pop culture nostalgia and Brisbane pride promise to combine in an evening of memories, catchy tunes and embracing your love of homegrown music.

It won't come as a surprise that the full release will get a spin, as belted out by Beth Lucas with a full band. Nor will the upbeat atmosphere, taking the ladies lyrics to heart with a live forever vibe. The rest of the Veronicas' output will get a blast between sets, for fans of their later stuff. And as always, wearing your affection on your sleeve — literally, in the form of the group's merchandise — is heartily encouraged.
