Moonshakes Presents

Overview

People who hate Mondays must really hate Tuesdays. There’s not even any of that starting-the-week-afresh Monday feeling remaining, just the knowledge that you haven’t even hit hump day yet. So thank God for Moonshakes, The Flinders’ eclectic line-up of local bands with free entry, $5 spirits and $4 beers taking place every Tuesday.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like if Bjork came 15 years later and was signed to Brainfeeder then you should check out this week’s gig, headlined by young Sydney musician, composer and producer Rainbow Chan. Weaving her classical training in saxophone, piano and choral music with memories of Chinese folk songs and Grandma’s mix tapes, Rainbow Chan is always looking for innovative new ways to play with sound and narrative.

Also present will be twisted dance artist SunSun (aka Joel Burrows), and new weekly residents Makeout Point — the new alias of local rock band W.I.M, described by the LA Times as “Rufus Wainwright fronting Grizzly Bear.” They’ll be making The Flinders home every Tuesday for the next month, and you should do the same.
