Locals in the Lounge

Overview

Love live music? What about when you can experience it for free? Well, drop into Misfits, Redfern's much-loved neighbourhood bar, on the first Thursday of the month, and you're in for a treat. Beyond the bar's secret bookcase lies a 70s-style lounge room, where you'll find live music and cheap Aussie beer.

Dubbed 'Locals in the Lounge', this free gig series is a collaboration between music lovin' Misfits and Pirate Life, a brewery based in Adelaide. Misfits is one of the few live music spots in the area. So, this gig series is a way to support emerging artists affiliated with well-known platforms such as Triple J or FBI radio. Plus, it celebrates Pirate Life's new Port Local Lager — a cold, crisp brew, which you can nab for just five bucks a schooner on the night.

On Thursday, September 5, you'll be kicking back to the sounds of soul and R&B singer Jeremy Gregory. His tune 'That's What's Going Down' spent three weeks in Australia's Top 40 upon its release. He's also recorded with Disco Montego and The Rockmelons. Plus, since 2011, he's been a member of Perth-based band Village Kid.

There's only one catch to all this excitement. Misfits' gig venue is pint-sized. And, because the gig costs zero dollars, you can't book. So, make sure you don't miss out by rocking up early.
