Building Bridges For Refugees Fundraiser
More than ten bands from across Australia are throwing a big fundraiser at the Marrickville Bowlo, with all donations going towards two grassroots refugee support organisations. Among the total legends playing on the day are beloved Melburnian indie pop crew Dick Diver, Sydney dance outfit Holy Balm and dreamy four piece Day Ravies.
Overview
If you were to list all the redeeming elements of Australian politics at the moment, I'm sure Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison wouldn't make the cut (or even come close to it). The government's asylum seeker policies have sparked hysterical shock and anger throughout the nation, with everyone who gives a damn participating in street rallies and public forums.
It's great to see then, that this cause hasn't fallen on deaf ears in our local music scene either. More than ten bands from across Australia are throwing a big fundraiser at the Marrickville Bowlo, with all donations going towards two grassroots organisations: the Bridge for Asylum Seekers and the Refugee Action Coaltion (RAC).
Among the total legends playing on the day are beloved Melburnian indie pop crew Dick Diver, Sydney dance outfit Holy Balm and dreamy four piece Day Ravies. Other local acts on the lineup include The Ocean Party, High Tails, Cull, DAG, TV Programmes, Roamin' Catholics, melonmelonmelon, and Destiny 3000.
Good tunes for a good cause; who could possibly resist?
