Rip It Up magazine has all the listings in it for live bands and you pick it up free at various places.

There is a very healthy live music scene here. I can play about 50 little rock riffs on the guitar, but that's about it. I am, however, learning some chords on the ukulele and everyone seems to have a uke player these days........

He would be happy lol

As a money maker they record stuff and sell to simon cowell's company that puts music on tv and films and they get royalties for it

Hey! Live music scene is great in Adelaide - I was (and still am) for the amount going on compared to the size of the city. A few great venues to check out: The Gov (The Governor Hindmarsh, on Port Road, just outside the city) is a great pub that does live music in the front bar (usually free) and paid gigs in 'The Venue.' A real mix of emerging artists and bigger names. The Thebbie (Thebarton Theatre) is a bigger venue with usually bigger name bands.

 

The Wheatsheaf Hotel in Thebarton is a lovely pub that does live music every weekend plus special events (either free or $10ish entry), the Grace Emily in the city centre is very quirky and hosts live acts often, the Crown & Anchor in the city is known for heavier gigs, there's also Jive in the city plus Jade Monkey, just to name a few.

 

Rip It Up is a great suggestion - that's Adelaide's main free street press. They also recently launched an iphone app with the guide guide on there. Happy gigging! =)

Hey ladies and gents!

I LOVE live music - only just discovered the Grace Emily last week and LOVED it!

Anyone fancy going to watch some live music and have a few drinks next week at any of the venues mentioned above? About time I got out, caught some decent music and made some new friends!

PM me if you're game - I'm sure we can get a few of us out :-)
