Bandroom to host birthday gigs

Yarraville’s Kindred Bandroom turns 19 this month and appropriately for a live music venue, is hosting a run of gigs to celebrate.

From Wednesday, April 9 through to Saturday, April 12, six shows, including two afternoon shows, will be held at the Harris Street venue which is part of the larger Kindred Studios complex.

US singer-songwriter, John Craigie, will kick off Kindred’s birthday party shows on April 9, as part of a three-week run around Australia across March and April.

Joining Craigie will be Portland, Oregon folk-country artist, Kassi Valazza, who will be making her Australian debut.

On Thursday, April 10, Raga Saga will play a free afternoon show from 2-4pm playing a mixture of North Indian classical music and melodic jazz.

That evening, Kindred’s regular free jam night, Flow Motion, will be held with special guests, Super-Band, playing two hours of high-energy, improvised groove music.

On Friday, April 11, seven piece Sydney metal band, Battlesnake, will headline a birthday rock party with support from Melbourne’s Peach Fuzz, Milk After Sex and Destrends DJs.

On Saturday, April 12, six piece, genre-fluid, psych-jazz and rock group, Big Cat, will play a free afternoon show starting at 1pm.

Later that night, legendary Melbourne based 9-piece ensemble, Ausecuma Beats, will close out Kindred’s birthday celebrations with support from vocalist and percussionist Immy Owusu, Dom Carpenter Trio and AKA Zeb.
