Gangbusters Returns for 2009
Tue 24th Feb, 2009 in Local News
Something been missing from your Thursday nights over the summer? Gangbusters returns at Bar 32 with a new format and all the indie goodness you could ever dream of!
Birds Love Fighting recently announced the comeback of the now infamous Canberra indie night Gangbusters; “Ladies and gentlemen, hipster kids, and associates, this our lords year two thousand and nine brings back a Canberra institution, Gangbusters”.
Birds Love Fighting mastermind Warwick tells us this year “Gangbusters bear the fruits necessary to open wide Bar 32’s birthing doors to foster more great music for the Canberra kids, and this year will see the return of original unfathomable acts dedicated to showing you what is really going on”.
“As a purpose of choice Gangbusters is the first Thursday of each month, and there will be quality over quantity with three bands taking the floor in the new format – DJs will open the night with great influential music, followed by two support bands and one headline act. The DJ’s will continue to spin throughout the night at any given chance”.
“There will be a major focus on gathering amazing interstate bands to headline or support local acts this year, with the intent on keeping the music at a low $5 entry”.
The first Gangbusters for the year will be an all local line up with headliners Voss, a Fender blending alternative country look with a highly colonial musical theme. To kick things off at the start of the night however will be Cat Cat, psych rockers that will have you more than tapping and whirling about, following them will be Also From Tokyo, who sell it like hot cakes with their jazz improv influenced rock.
Who knows what other treasures BLF have in store for us so keep your eyes peeled! Gangbuster’s kicks off next Thursday 5 March at Bar 32.
Need a reminder of how grand our favourite little indie band night was in 2008? Here’s a quick trip down memory lane with some of the hottest FasterLouder galleries from last year.
