The first of three, free, outdoor music events will kick off this month, bringing live local acts to Adelaide parklands every month until the end of the year.
In exciting arts and culture news, Nexus Arts has launched its 2020 Interplay performance series: a musical celebration of intercultural Australia, the series showcases ten extraordinary artists who now call Adelaide home.
Playing as part of Going Bananas mini festival of local bands at The Bridgeway this Saturday 3 October, the band will line up with the likes of Chelsea Manor, Struth!, Sweet Jane, Lola, Mum’s Favourite, Nocturnal Animals, Mongrel and The Birds are Spies.
Mum’s Favourites, The Dead Regulars and The Backyarders played to a packed house and Upside’s Kay Cann was there to capture the best moments.
As well as being total go-getters on the music scene, Obscura Hail are also expert procrastinators.
Except when it comes to releasing their music, of course, with their Siren EP dropping today.
The Backyarders are a motley crew of multi-instrumentalists combining folk and rock, while garage blues band The Dead Regulars have a special connection to Vault 134, with the band being formed within the four walls of the bank vault. And riff rockers Mum’s Favourite are also everyone else’s favourite, so bring your mum.
