Gold Class + Per Purpose + Pleasure Symbols @ The Foundry, 04.12.2015
The first day of Gigmas continues with Gold Class at The Foundry, which is basically the after show from the 4ZZZ Birthday party at the Old Museum. By the time I get here, I’ve already missed the opening 100% but get to see the rest of the night’s bands. The last time I saw GC […]
4ZZZ’s 40th Birthday Party @ The Old Museum, 04.12.2015
We’re into the last month of the year and a run of shows that I’m calling Gigmas.

That perception changed when they played at Laneway earlier this year, when they were one of the standout acts of the day. I think sometimes (maybe often) TV appearances just don’t translate into […]
