Looking for something different for your Xmas in July celebrations this year?
Why not try at the Marrickville Bowling Club?
Hosted by venerable promoter , the event will showcase some of the finest queer musicians Sydney has to offer.
Rising queer music acts
Headlined by black metal act (whose bassist Blazphemy is queer), the night also features Sydney鈥檚 premier queer party band (blending raw blues funk, analogue synth and 70s induced stoner doom), rising queer acts Sacred, Nesh007 Vu + Ariel Robin, and , described on her as 鈥渁 wild trans mashup of Paul Kelly meets Orville Peck鈥�.
Speaking to Star Observer, Cassy Judy had this to say:
“We’re excited for this because this is a great venue and there is a great line-up of bands.聽
鈥淕aia Rising always rock the house because those people actually run red lights. I鈥檒l be opening the show 鈥� my aim will be to get people laughing and singing along in these politically scary and frightful times. I might even throw in some bangers from my upcoming Soul Parts release.聽聽
鈥淭here are also some really great new up and coming queer bands playing too! It鈥檚 going to be the Queer Xmas Partay of the year, yay!”
Queer hootenanny brouhaha fuss and merriment聽
Cassy continued: “Events like this offer the community a place to chill out, enjoy some fabulous music in the not too shabby and comfy confines of the Marrickville Bowlo, a venue which has been host to many a fab night for quite some time now. Didn鈥檛 you get the memo?聽
鈥淚鈥檓 really looking forward to seeing the place packed to the rafters with people pressing their cheeks up against the windows to see what all the fuss and merriment is about. It鈥檚 going to be bordering on full-on-queer-hootenanny-brouhaha!聽
“Events like this are so important to the LGBTQIA+ community because you can glam it up if you want to or come as you are (pyjamas anyone?), there鈥檚 no judgement and there will be oodles of queer love!聽
鈥淭he Bowlo also has a very well thought out menu with a really fabulous selection of burgers. I can鈥檛 endorse the grocer鈥檚 apostrophe but the food is very very good! I think I鈥檒l have some more eggplant chips, thank you very much.”
