SYDNEY SOUNDS LIKE …

For many, Sydney sounds like the endless chatter of construction noise and the grunt of traffic. For others, it’s the metronomic crash of waves, the warble of kookaburras, the buzz of cicadas. And for others still, it’s the cry of partygoers, the throb of inner city pubs, the tinkle of broken glass. For local radio station FBi, Sydney sounds more like the lilting folk of the Jezabels, the sunny pop of The Holidays, the cutting-edge experimentation of the PVT DJs, the irresistible catchiness of Cloud Control. This all-day, all-ages festival filling out every nook and cranny of the Factory Theatre will guide you through the Sydney’s sonar landscape via a hot young bunch of young and emerging bands, plus DJs, art, and comedy. Sounds pretty good to me. (AB)
