It would be fair to say that each gig-going Melburnian has exhausted their whinge-o-metre for one lifetime when it comes to the closing down of iconic band rooms.

Well, whinge no longer. Like superheroes with their knickers on the outside of their sparkly leggings, A Good Sort are saving the day. They may not rescue kittens from trees or scale the Eureka Building with suction-caps for feet, but they will bring you live and local music via the refreshed band room at Gertrudes Brown Couch in Fitzroy.

A Good Sort have lovingly booked artists; Sly Hats (this Thursday in fact – more on that later), Tic Toc Tokyo, Marcus Teague (Deloris), Big Cats, Jerry Falwell Destroyed Earth and Ned Collette among others.

At Brown Couch there are fine and affordable drink prices Wednesday to Friday evenings and cheap door charges too. This Thursday, for $5, see Sly Hats (mental note, a good preview of the album before the June 22 Toff in Town launch) supported by Barrage and Failing Star. It’s comforting to know that live music continues to survive the battle against pizzerias. Cheers to A Good Sort for the peace of mind.
