Kick those Monday blues to the curb at Social Sanctuary – your weekly night of free live music at NSC. We've lined up a stellar roster of your fave local artists and some exciting new talents breezing through town!

This week Damn Williams, Tam Richards and Sylvia are stopping by for a show. 

Damn Williams channels the bravado and theatricality of Scott Walker and 70’s Bowie through the raw immediacy of 90’s alternative bands Guided By Voices and The Magnetic Fields, creating a dissonant sonic landscape that enriches its multifaceted narratives that introspectively explore abstract complexities of Australian life and nostalgia. What began as a solo project of former Tiger Choir frontman and Pretty in Pink bassist Elliot Taylor has evolved into a four piece family band featuring Olmer Bollinger (Baglicker), James Campbell (Tantrums, Ern Malley) and Lauren Mason (Pretty in Pink, Babysitter). The songs on their upcoming record were written and and arranged on Wurundjeri land over a four-year span and recorded at Head Gap studio, infusing each track with a sense of place and time, inviting listeners to journey through a tapestry of sound and story.

Tam Richards plays guitar and sings with accompaniment from Esala Liyanage on bass guitar and Seth Rees on drums.

Sylvia are a group of heartbroken angels playing shy sh\*egaze.

 

Social Sanctuary is proud to be sponsored by Mountain Goat.

Our show is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of this land we are gathered on. We also pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities that may join us for our show.

THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+
