In our latest print mag – issue 23, on streets and in cafés now! – CityMag brought back the gig guide in street press form.

We also reached out to some friends in the local scene for some tips on the shows we should be attending over the summer, and everyone’s favourite publican / label founder / guitarist / vocalist / lyricist / long-time clarinetist, Dave Blumberg reckons Boat Show’s appearance at Cats is a must-see.

Hailing from Western Australia, the five-piece indie rockers grace Rocket Bar as part of an eastern venturing tour in support of their recent single I Don’t Get It.

Here’s Dave’s take:

Played a bunch of gigs with Boat Show in WA last year – hard rockin’ band of sandgropers fronted by the legendary Ali Flintoff.

In support, Dead Roo are sensational local slackers featuring the sublimely talented Jess Johns.
