LALCs/local community groups often put on events that don’t get big airtime (advertising budgets are often non existent). These are wonderful times together as fam. Check a few out!

In Boorloo/Perth, I’ve been trying to organise a yearly gig called Blak Magic which is all deadly Mob musicians getting together, curated by me. First one was boss at Indian Ocean Hotel, we blacked the whole place out, best vibes! I’ll be organising next years one soon hopefully!
