With MMW (Melbourne Music Week) fast approaching, we thought we put a quick list together of the Top 5 gigs we think you should get along to. With 9 days of “city-wide musical domination, discussion and distortion” from 16-24 November which includes an electric line-up of local and international acts, this year’s program pushes the boundaries of traditional live music formats, blurring the line between art, film, design, and music. The extended program features multi-sensory and VR experiences, parties, workshops, talks, cinema and loads more! For all events and information, please check out the MMW site HERE.

2) You Am I, Gareth Liddiard, Clowns, New War at Melbourne Town Hall:
Sunday 18th November, 7pm.
You Am I’s (pictured) epic Melbourne Town Hall show just got bigger, with the announcement of special guest supports Gareth Liddiard (The Drones, Tropical Fuck Storm) and cult punk outfit Clowns joining the legendary Aussie rock band for their debut MMW show. This is You Am I like you’ve never seen them before; the rockers will play Melbourne Town Hall’s historic Grand Organ, a formidable instrument that uses ninety thousand cubic feet of air a minute, producing anything from a delicate whisper to deafening thunder.

3) Dark Space Project, Hextape, James Teague immersive music in darkness:
Sunday 18th November, 7:30pm.
For something a little off-beat, The Dark Space Project is an event not to be missed. The immersive psychedelic experience will turn off all the lights at The Toff and encourage your mind, in pitch black, to focus solely on the soundscape of modular synthesisers, loops, guitars, drums, bass and violin. Without any visual distractions, all you see is music.
