For months on end, the roof of The Gasometer has remained sealed, protecting the famous stage from the ongoing downpour of Melbourne’s damp winter. Teased by those fleeting, barmy spring days and revelling in a pit of jealousy as the roof of Marvel Stadium peels back on a rare Sunday - the Gasometer Roof can wait no longer. December 1st it has circled in its calendar, Flavourfest, the day it will shed its skin and allow sunlight onto those sticky floors once more. Led by its namesake and in collaboration with popular local clothing store, 1st Product, Flavourfest brings 10 of Melbourne’s finest and most eclectic musical acts to the forum of The Gasometer to celebrate the first day of the Australian Summer. From jazz to house, from rap to techno - there is something for everyone. Enjoy a peruse at the market open from 3pm with stallholders selling jewellery and clothing, including exclusive Flavour x 1st Product merchandise - whilst the sounds of our talented lineup blow you away into the night. This will not be a day to miss, so join us at The Gasometer on December 1st.
Come and celebrate Annie & The Make Believe's newest single 'It Got Bad' with a full band show (Rhythm guitar: Mel Ricou, Lead guitar: Cam Geeves, Drums: Simon Krambousanos, Bass: Nic Miles) and support from special guests Scott Candlish and Irene Zhong.
Annie & The Make Believe is an Australian/English folk-pop artist from Naarm/Melbourne playing heartfelt catchy tunes that will have you tapping your feet. The latest single will be her first release in Australia after returning home from close to a decade in the UK. There she released the successful debut EP ‘Let’s Get Together Again,’ which received widespread praise including radio airplay across the BBC. This led to a UK festival circuit tour with her London band at Bridgnorth Music and Arts Festival, Camper Calling Festival (BBC Introducing stage), Staxonbury and the Coffee House Sessions. The band supported Swiss pop rockers ‘Pegasus’ as well as playing a swathe of London venues including Proud Camden, 93ft East, The Bedroom Bar and The Finsbury.
'It Got Bad’ marks a fresh chapter in the Annie & The Make Believe story and is the first of a number of exciting upcoming collaborations with producer Simon Moro. With a reinvigorated sound the single weaves the melodies of folk, influences of pop and the hue of alt-country into a new single that captures the hope, despair, longing and disappointment of a relationship ending.
