Joining forces with Hot Water Music, Bad Cop/Bad Cop and Australian supergroup, Dad Religion (members of Frenzal Rhomb, Bodyjar & Clowns), this is one show you don’t want to miss!

Foo Fighters — Concrete and Gold On Vinyl
In the words of Dave Grohl… “I wanted it to be the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever. To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement… Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper… or something like that”. The Fooies’ newest rock n’ roll opus is the ultimate prezzie for any vinyl vulture who likes to crank it to 11.
