About this event

Dunedin's The Bats make the trip across the Tasman to Marrickville Bowling Club, bringing the live version of their 2025 album Corner Coming Up to Sydney's inner west.

It's the band's eleventh record, cut with Tex Houston at Chicks Studio in Port Chalmers, and it sits alongside a catalogue stretching back four decades. Same lineup since their first gig on New Year's Eve 1982 — a quiet constant in the Flying Nun story, sitting next to The Clean and The Chills.

Special guests round out the bill. Tickets $67.
