B-Sides in the Backyard

Overview

You've heard their albums. You've heard them play live. You might've even heard their favourite songs. There's one thing we're guessing you haven't heard, however — the results when a heap of Brisbane bands step behind the decks and spin their weirdest favourite tunes.

That's B-Sides in the Backyard. Whalehouse, The Gametes, Lil Pompom, Orlando Furious, Thigh Master, The Goon Sax and Violent Soho will all mosey on down to Ric's and spin tunes that you mightn't expect them to spin. Expect the kind of tracks that you wouldn't usually hear on the radio, too — except on 4ZZZ, who are behind this little shindig.

Taking place from midday to 8pm on Saturday, August 25, the event helps kick off the station's annual subscriber drive. How better to show what local alternative radio is all about than by rounding up a heap of top talent and letting them give a few tracks a whirl? Entry is free, and there'll be 4ZZZ-themed cocktails as well.
