Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks

Overview

At Concrete Playground, we love The Brisbane Festival. With endless things to see and do, September really is the most exciting month for our town. The Courier Mail Spiegeltent is one of the hotspots of the festival and hosts a wide variety of performances, including indie rock band, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks.

These guys have been playing for over a decade and have perfected their unique sound that drips with catchy melodies and bursts with intricate guitar riffs. With five successful albums up their sleeves, it's safe to say that they are onto a good thing.

The band formed in the hiatus of indie rock royalty, Pavement and is fronted by Stephen Malkmus, who was the main singer and songwriter of the successful 90's band. NME has called Malkmus a “blessing from the indie gods”, so you know you'll be in for a treat on Tuesday and Wednesday nights as they grace the Spiegeltent for a 70 minute set.
