Aussie bands are well and truly on top this week. Perth band Flower Drums are playing two gigs, one of them supporting Sydney’s Kid Kenobi, Melbourne’s Twerps (above) are headlining at Newtown Social Club (and it’s selling fast), Sydney favourites Mansionair scored a spot opening for Alt-J and some of Sydney’s finest dance music artists are coming together for The Reunion at Goodgod Small Club. It’s a busy, busy week, so plan ahead!
