Musicadium maps course for original Musos at x&y Bar
It might be Splendour in the Grass time for a lot of Brisbane music fans on the weekend of the 26th July, but not everyone got a ticket! Not to worry, Digital 
Distributors Musicadium, Cherry Red Music and Brisbane’s newest alternative music venue, the x & y Bar, have got your Sunday session sorted.
Musicadium was invited to roster the bands for one jam-packed weekend-ender, Sunday 26th July, and delivered with local indie chanteuse Sarah Haigh, art-indie band Skara Brae and Gold Coast Rockers, TheCityShakeUp the order of the evening.
Continuing into the night is Musicadium’s own and local Pistol-Whipped DJ, Roxy Burt, aka DJ Jane Doe (http://www.myspace.com/janedoedj) and members of local indie band Smokestack Orchestra (http://www.myspace.com/thesmokestackorchestra).
The x & y Bar is located at 648 Ann Street in the Fortitude Valley, nestled between Happy High Herbs, the RG Hotel and directly opposite Cloudland. The x & y bar is providing original, alternative music seven nights a week, free of charge.
Sarah Haigh is a Brisbane-based artist who draws regular comparisons with early-era Blondie, PJ Harvey and Love Outside Andromeda. She released her debut EP “Lost Boy” in September 2007. Hurricane is her second EP and was recorded in Brisbane by Emerson Bavinton (Hungry Kids of Hungary) and mixed by Magoo (Regurgitator, Midnight Oil, Powderfinger). Sarah can be found online at http://www.myspace.com/sarahhaighmusic.
Every single member of Skara Brae has, coincidentally, worked in theme park entertainment. Between the five of them, they have dressed up as Spongebob Squarepants, driven batmobiles, battled aliens and predators, swum with dolphins and been punched in the head by theme park guests…all for a living. Mash that experience in together and you get their quirky, enthusiastic music! Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/skarabraemusic.
The City Shakeup’s MySpace warns Mothers to lock up their Daughters, so when they come to Brisbane, girls, better get to lock-picking. TheCityShakeUp round out the live music quota of the evening. Their myspace is http://www.myspace.com/thecityshakeup.
Entry to Musicadium’s 4th With Digital Love Showcase is free. The evening starts at 6pm and parties on late into the evening, or early into the morning depending on how you look at it - Set your monday for auto-pilot, you’re not going to get much sleep!
