Brisbane Gig Guide: 2nd to 8th September

Words by Scenewave Australia - Published on September 1, 2013

Welcome back to the ultimate Brisbane Gig Guide. We’ve scoured the net to bring you the most comprehensive guide to bands playing in Brissie. Check back every Sunday for your weekly gigs!

Weekly pick: The Growl. If you like your music eardrum-bursting-body-shaking-hary-dirty-loud, this is the band for you. Frontman Cameron Avery, also from Pond, and the newest bassist for Tame Impala, has created sexy gritty rock tunes, and will leave you sweat soaked and frothing. We reviewed their gig at Ric’s back in April, this is not one to be missed. Thursday at Black Bear Lodge
