Get In Sydney - Things to Do in Sydney

Russian Standard – Live at the Chapel | Venues | Newtown

2011-11-23T13:51:00.001-08:00

Russian Standard Vodka likes to put on a good show. Last night Eskimo Joe and Pnau took to the stage or rather the altar at The ChapelNewtown. This was a night not to be missed. The venue was the perfect setting for the two bands who rocked the very foundations of religion itself. The candle lit church was the perfect setting to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Outside the Russian Standard girls served vodka mixers amongst the decaying graveyard.

Check out previous Russian Standard Gigs.

Bondi Social | Bondi | Restaurants Sydney

2011-11-19T23:44:00.001-08:00

Bondi Social was the venue and a birthday was the occasion, the weather, the staff and the food catered to our every need. We were seated on the balcony and treated to a sunny Bondi view and a packed beach. There was a table of 20 and food and bar service were excellent. We each had an individual tab making billy paying nice and easy. We ordered the degustation which had everything from oysters to Spanish meatballs. At $45 is was well priced and we were all nice and full by the end.

I would recommend for a birthday or even just an evening meal. Even if you don't get a seat on the balcony the inside is well decorated and with such great staff it make for a great dining experience.

This was the lovely view we had, minus the drag queen

Food Society | Darlinghurst | Restaurants Sydney

2011-11-17T16:47:00.001-08:00

Food Society is tucked away in the backstreets of Darlinghurst. Loved it here! They had really nice décor and great food. The staff were excellent and the food was just as good. It is a lovely mix of eastern European food, served in the style of Spanish tapas. They had an extensive wine and cocktail list, which we took full advantage of.

I would recommend a visit to Food Society, if you like good food and booze at a reasonable price then this place should be on your list.

They Will Have Their Way

2011-11-16T20:21:00.001-08:00

They will have their way is a cool concept by EMI music. It brings together the music of the Brothers Finn sung by popular Aussie Artists. Check out the Sydney Opera House Video

Dead Cat Bounce - Hit Sydney like a dead cat bouncing

2010-05-13T03:07:00.000-07:00

Think Flight of the Concords and The Lonely Island all rolled in to one and you have Dead Cat Bounce. Dead Cat Bounce are a mix of sexy Irish and English good for nothings and by the power of greyskull can they make you laugh.

Dead Cat bounce are currently touring Australia, with the Sydney shows now over you can catch them on the comedy tour in Melbourne. If you want to spit your sides and make a song and dance about it then these are the guys to see.

Check Dead Cat Bounce out for yourself.

Irelands next big thing - Crystal Swing

2010-03-14T01:00:00.000-08:00

Watch out Sydney because the next big thing has just arrived and I'd say U2 are shitten themselves. What you are about to witness is a mother, son, daughter trio who go by the name of Crystal Swing. This loving family love to sing, dance and generally make right tits of themselves. So much so that the Irish have embraced them with open arms. Now I'm pretty sure they are all hooking up. But i'll let you be the judge.

I mean seriously dude that's your sister you are singing to. All the same I am hoping to see them headlining next years Big Day out.

Peats Ridge Festival - Glenworth Valley

2009-11-23T03:12:00.000-08:00

Peats Ridge Festival is the pick of the bunch. Ok so it's not slap bang in Sydney, sue me. This 3 day festival is bound to be a dirty.

Performances from Lamb / Sarah Blasko / The Panics / Liam Finn and 196 more acts. You can not ask for more

Tickets available from Peats Ridge

Lamb - Lowlands 2003

Space Ibiza - The Ivy / Sydney

2009-11-23T02:50:00.000-08:00

Ok, usually I stay away from places like The Ivy, especially because they think it is ok just to call it Ivy when it is clearly The Ivy. AnD when Justin Hemmes spent far too much money on what can only be described as below par interior muck the bar come nightclub was destined for failure. What started out as "the in" crowd turned into muscle bound idiots looking for a fight on Saturday night. After these meat heads pump themselves full of protein at the gym they get their insecurities in check by spending stupid cash on alcohol in an attempt to appear as thought they actually making money.

I will however make an acceptation for NYE as The Ivy has a killer sound system and a line up to boot.

Performances from Pete Tong / Sam Sparro / Tiefschwarz / Derick Carter and many more

Ticets Available from Moshtix

Pete Tong - Radio 1

Shore Thing - Bondi / Sydney

2009-11-23T02:31:00.000-08:00

Shore Thing has become a legendary NYE festival in Sydney. This year Bondi hosts a string of international acts. Apart from being a pain in the hole to get home from (unless you live there) the beach setting, bad teenage fashion and booze make for a great night out.

Performances on the night from Carl Cox / Danny Tenaglia / Roger Sanchez

Tickets available from Fuzzy and Moshtix

2009-11-23T01:46:00.000-08:00

I'm a teacher that's for sure in a world of crazy kids. That's exactly what it is to be a night club these days in a world of crazy festivals. Darling Harbors Home still punches out some good nights despite the competition from day long festivals. This years Summa Nights boasts a good line up over multiple floors and rooms.

Performances on the night from Josh Wink / Mark Knight / Sharam (Deep Dish) / Eddie Halliwell / Don Diablo

Lost in the Underworld - Event Review

2009-11-10T17:50:00.000-08:00

Lost Events are one of Sydney best kept secrets, so I probably shouldn't tell you about it. Opps just did. As the story of the legend goes, Bollo a crazy monkey, best know for his work in the Cadburys ads, was having a party. He hired Shark Island, invited a bunch of mates and Lost Events were born. Since then Lost have hosted parties in secret locations around Sydney. Last month saw the return of the lost parties with Lost in the Underworld. This creepy dance event was held in a secret location, only released on the day of the event. Unfortunately a last minute venue change meant that the Lost Boys had to pull together a kick ass night in a matter of days. Despite the set backs the night went off and had party Ghosts and Ghouls dancing all night long.

Harborlife 2009 - Sydney

2009-11-08T22:15:00.000-08:00

If you have missed out on Harborlife the last few years then I have one thing to say to you. PLAN BETTER.

Harborlife is a great collection of local and international talent. Apart from the bad fake tan and blokes not wearing shirts, when they really should be. This is a great session in awesome surroundings. The line up this year is looking hot Martin Solveig/ Stanton Warriors/ Holy Ghost! / Bag Raiders /

Check out some awesome Fuzzy TV to get you inspired or feel left out if you aint go a ticket. Tickets were available from Moshtix
