Bands, record shops, venues, radio in Melbourne/Sydney?

Venue-wise, if you want some nice places just to hang and drink: the Lounge, Revolver (in chapel st), Spleen, and Sahara Cafe are all good.

Also the Espy hotel for sheer grand view out the bay windows stylee.

Gaz I thought you were calling Nic your friend, up there. It's been a long day.

Maybe your pal would like the latest "sounds eclectic" cd...it has lots of cute cartoon characters on the cover. I could get Nic to put on some lipstick and kiss it for him/her

(the only reason I stumbled across redeye in the first place was when I went to my juno.co.uk wishlist & the four things I wanted were out of stock, & had to hit google . . .)

Revive! I'm going to be in Sydney for the first week of December. Where are the record shops? I haven't been to Australia since 1990...

Also, F A P ? (and where's a better thread for this?)

Thanks!

a lot of the record stores are around Newton or Enmore or Erskineville.

though there are also some in Darlinghurst and the city?

I am around Elvis if you want to grab a brew.

I'm totally up for a brew. This weekend will be busy, but I'll be wandering around the city for the rest of the week.

cool! Tuesday afternoon/ evening could work. Wednesday is probably even better. when are you leaving?

I could do wed maybe if it was central ish.

There's a Tib now?

The chance to meet Elvis T IRL coerced delurk. Looking at my week it now seems exceptionally unlikely.

Lets try for Wednesday the 6th then... I'm leaving Friday morning

hi, Elvis! sadly, the weather hasn't been very kind to you.

i'm definitely good for Wednesday. probably anytime from about 5pm.

Tib, see how you go. would be good to have you along.

edwardo can't make it on Wednesday until after 10pm, but if we start late perhaps that's OK?

xp

TBF, with all the walking I've been doing I'm enjoying the rain as a respite from the heat.

Tib, see how you go. would be good to have you along.

^^^^^

I'm sure I'll be able to last till after 10pm (no huge commitments on Thursday).

thoughts on where we should make this happen? I know a bunch of places that could work. where are you staying, ET?

Looks like Thursday will be better for me... will update.

Thursday evening is tight for me as I have to attend a speech night at the school I teach at.

still good for now-ish (or within the next couple of hours) if you can still somehow swing it, ET.

Arrgh sorry I missed everyone. Unavoidable, but as it looks now - I'll probably be back down for a longer stay sometime next year.
