Blow This Joint! FBi Social Farewell Party

Overview

Get ready to dry your eyes and reminisce over beers and homegrown beats. FBi Social, the physical manifestation of FBi Radio, is calling it quits — but not before hosting a celebratory, last-hoorah bash on November 1.

Tucked into a somewhat unlikely Kings Cross setting, this little venue that could has done pretty well for itself. After what was originally meant to be a three-month stint as a pop-up, FBi Social has been playing host to local artists for three-and-a-half years. Notable names include the Jezabels, RUFUS, Dappled Cities and Courtney Barnett, among a whole happy long cast of others.

The bound-to-be-killer closing party will be a celebration of all that good stuff. Bassy, synthy venue veterans World's End Press and up-and-comers Mansionair are joining forces for the event — and then FBi DJs will be around to carry you well into the night, post-midnight goodbye feels and all.

The break comes at a good time for FBi — with the launch of FBi Click and their quickly approaching jaunt to Iceland with the winners of their Northern Lights competition, it certainly seems like they'll continue to be that awesome-as-always platform for local music, arts and culture you know so well.

And if you're already mourning the loss of a much-loved live music hub, don't despair; the venue will continue to function as a space for emerging local and international talent, reopening as the Bandroom under seasoned Sydney management company Solotel on Saturday, November 8.
