Sydney Spawn (FBi Fundraiser)

Overview

Multimillionaire Dicky Branson didn't give up the cash; instead, the normal wage-enslaved, music-loving proletariat, you, and Sydney's bands saved FBi radio by donating money and time to the station last year. The battle was won, but the war to keep FBi on air continues. The fine folk at the station are starting up a new night called Sydney Spawn, which will put our fine harbour city's best and brightest bands on stage for a meager tenner (proceeds going to the station).

The kick-off lineup looks pretty mouthwatering with lo-fi psych punks Ripping Dylans, swampy-moody rockers the Maladies, tribal jam band Megastick Fanfare, Des Miller's the Magnetic Heads, and Line Drawings, as well as FBi's own DJs. Also adding to the pure furor will be the fact that bands can bring their demos and give them to the FBi bigwigs, who will then play them on the radio if they like them. So get down to the 'Dale and support your independent, community-based station.
