At First Sight Record Fair and Gig
Celebrate music in all its retro and modern glory, and fall in love with a brand-new find.
Overview
Carriageworks is a hotbed for a diverse cultural program, and the latest event to transform the former Eveleigh Rail Yards is At First Sight, a brand-new music event curated by FBi Radio's Marty Doyle that provides a utopia for music-lovers.
At First Sight is part record fair, part live gig, and all entertainment. The all-ages event offers a chance to flip through records from a variety of the city's best independent record stores, labels and private dealers, entirely for free. Maybe you will find a hidden treasure or something completely new and unexpected — just let the magic of the crates consume you.
Then you can head inside for a live gig from noon and catch a collection of Australia’s most captivating independent musicians including HTRK, who will be playing material fresh from the studio; psychedelic Sydneysiders The Laurels; Melbourne quintet Beaches; and garage pairing Super Wild Horses amongst many more, all for just $35.
Independent record stores and live music venues have seen better days in Sydney, so At First Sight provides a perfect opportunity to get out and celebrate music. Whether you are want to find an old classic or fall in love with a band at first sight, or both, you can do it here. So why not enjoy some of the most exciting contemporary Australian bands and DJs before picking up a record or two to spin until the early hours of the morning.
