Music is best when it is live and loud, and Brisbane has the event to prove it. That'd be the aptly named Brisbane Live Music Week, a seven-day celebration of the city's sonic shenanigans presented by community radio station 4ZZZ.
Sure, any and all gigs taking place in Brisbane from March 19 to 25 technically fit the bill, but it wouldn't be BLMW without something special joining the fold. This year, 4ZZZ are bringing the party home via a series of live gigs in their car park, which will all be broadcast live on air.
Yes, that means you can still listen if you can't make it along, but you know that being there will be oh-so-much better than tuning in. Catch Bad Bangers on Monday, Some Jerks on Tuesday, Nice Biscuit on Wednesday, GO VAN GO on Thursday and Dirty Liars on Friday, with each gig kicking off at 5pm. Then, head on down at 3pm on Saturday for the pièce de résistance that is Biscotti, Orlando Furious, Julia R. Anderson and Amaringoo all rocking out to bring the week-long live music showcase to a close.
