Live Music in Sydney
Late-night east, indie-rock inner-west, jazz on Crown Street
Sydney's live-music geography splits clean — Oxford Street and Crown Street for the late-night dance floors, Marrickville and Newtown for the indie and punk circuit, the Northern Beaches for laid-back acoustic and roots. This week pulls from all of it.
