A pretty great spread of live music this week, with something for everyone. The aptly-named Northeast Party House are saying “later ‘Straya” with a gig at Oxford Art Factory, and Melbourne future-soul band Hiatus Kaiyote are bringing the party not once, but twice. On the more low-key end of the spectrum are Vampire Weekend alum Baio (pictured) touring ahead of his upcoming album, and more tunes from the likes of Timberwolf, Moses Gunn Collective and heaps more.
