🤔 Wait, wtf is this?
Looking at the various gig guides out there, these are the shows by emerging, independent, or DIY artists that get my pulse going – this isn’t a complete list, it’s a totally subjective selection of stuff I just like the look of. For way better actual gig guides, you should follow SydneyMusic or bestbandsyouneverheard (which tbh you should do anyway)
