Thursday July 8th
Cast & Crew, Green green Green, Ghosts in Cars, Fieldings
$5 entry – 8pm
Cast & Crew will melt your faces as they create some noise in order to assault your ears. After a 6 month break from playing shows last year, the greens returned with a bunch of new songs and a new take on their party/noise style. Ghosts In Cars come together for one common goal and that is to seep through the cracks of indie/post-hardcore stuff. Fieldlings are kinda like a musical mille-feuille - layers of simplicity which create complexity within a mist of aggression, dissonance and beauty. Kick start your weekend with a gig at the Birmy on July 8 with Cast & Crew, Green Green Green, Ghosts In Cars and Fieldlings.
