Overview

If you like live music in Brisbane — and frequenting an Ann Street mainstay for your local gig fix, in particular — then it has been a long six weeks. Back in December, The Zoo closed its doors to undertake some renovations, but now they're back. You know the drill; it's going to bigger, better and downright massive, really.

Don't just take our word for it, though. Checking it out, and some ace Queensland talent, is on the agenda from 8pm on February 4. Think of the appropriately named The New Zoo as the type of housewarming party you have when your old place feels like new again.

The relaunch will feature Gold Coast garage rockers Bleeding Knees Club, plus local folks Good Boy, Bugs and Black Sun. Sure, christening the revamped space is quite the responsibility; however, whether you like guitar riffs, indie refrains, noisy punk pop or all of the above, this lot are up to it.
