GIG OF THE WEEK:
FRIDAY: ‘Siberian Nights’ @ Yours and Owls
feat. Kirin J Callinan, Fashion Launches Rocket Launches, Siberia DJs
8pm, $10, 18+
Siberia Records – established by the guys from Midnight Juggernauts – have been building a reputation for hosting wild, creative and thought-provoking parties, courtesy of their ‘Siberian Nights‘ events. Held in warehouses and clubs around Sydney and Melbourne, the parties are always unique and ever-enjoyable, comprising a combination of live acts and DJs… with a few surprises along the way.
Yours and Owls will host the very first Wollongong edition of ‘Siberian Nights’ later this month. With a lineup consisting of Kirin J Callinan and the Siberia DJs, the night promises to be sonically entertaining and interesting.
Of most interest to Radar, however, is the inclusion of ‘Fashion Launches Rocket Launches,’ an act that features on many Siberian Nights events. The Sydney-based act is somewhat of an indie supergroup, with an ever-changing lineup of musicians that has included members of Midnight Juggernauts, Ghoul, Jack Ladder, Megastick Fanfare, Ghostwood, and Djanimals. However, for our July 22 date, FLRL is billed as a combination of “Midnight Juggernauts, Kirin J & Jonti/Djanimals.” Such an all-star collaboration is sure to be worth the price of admission alone.
