Description:
Whether you're a fan of lo-fi folk or just want to stop the pain shooting out of your eye, head to the Festival Club where Grand Salvo (aka Paddy Mann) and Guy Blackman will beguile your ears. Paddy's music is quiet, lyrical, melancholy and almost fairytale-like. He's on at 4.30pm. Hang around or pop back in at 8.30pm to clap eyes on a DIY legend, the adult baby himself, Guy Blackman! He will be purveying 'sly, elegant and unnervingly forthright' pop, so check yourself before you wreck yourself. - MC & PM

About
ThreeThousand is a subcultural guide to Melbourne, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Melbourne writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
