What’s on in May

It may be getting colder, but Sydney certainly isn’t slowing down. There are some really awesome things to do and see happening in Sydney in May.
 
The Hollow Bones residency, Oxford Arts Factory

Lead by a wee Scottish firecracker who wields his guitar like a scythe to cut you down to size, the Hollow Bones is fast becoming one of the best (and yet most underrated) acts in Sydney. Luckily, the kids at Oxford Arts Factory know a damn good band when they see them and you’ll get the opportunity to see the Hollow Bones play on each Friday in May.

You’ll love this band if you love high energy performances, cracking vocals and rock that makes you cry “man, that was crazy awesome!”
 
Newtown Social Club is alive!

The former Sando space was saved from becoming something else entirely by a bunch of musical cats with their hearts in the right place- and boy, are we hanging for it!  What promises to be a little more hip, a lot better food and a pokie free zone, the Newtown Social Club opens its doors early May and promises to bring us some very tasty live music.
We’re currently on the hunt for someone who wants to make it their new stomping ground to run tours and show newbies what’s hot, so if this is you, get in touch!
 
Hustle & Flow, Redfern

Almost 12 months in the making, Redfern’s latest small bar “Hustle and Flow” has just had it’s opening party and is due to start service in earnest from the first week in May. You’ve got to love these guys already- it’s a husband and wife team who are super passionate about Redfern, street art and hip-hop and RnB.
They commissioned graffiti artists from Sydney to paint the bar up, they’ve been compiling play lists on the best tunes for months and with every single delay, they’ve just hung right in there to create what could be the coolest new bar in the ‘hood.
Get there before the cool kids do…you won’t regret it!
 
eXpertLocal Tours:
Like bicycling? You’ll love the Mountain Bike at the Dam Beach.
If iced coffee is more your thing, join in the search for the perfect iced coffee.
Freelancers in need of a night out will love the Freelance Jungle.

 
And we’ll be heading off to check out the Hollow Bones at Oxford Arts factory as part of the Sydney live music tours on May 31st.
