The Oxford Art Factory are pleased to announce that we have installed a proper band PA in the gallery bar, and plan to break it in with a new weekly Wednesday night – YELLOW BRICK ROAD.YBR showcases up and coming bands that may not have had many opportunities to play at established venues. We want bands who can draw approximately two garage loads of people to a gig, to give them a chance to build up their profile and fan base, and give their careers a good nudge along the way to the stage where they’re headlining their own shows in the main room at OAF. We know that there’s a world of talent out there waiting for an opportunity to be heard, and we have some very exciting acts planned for the coming months.
For the kids, entry is free and the booze is cheap ($4 beers and $5 spirits!), which is a pretty strong incentive to get out on a Wednesday night. If you need another good reason, one of our favourites is the sheer joy of seeing a band play a house party style gig. Band on the floor, so close you can smell them, and the dance floor at risk of intrusion by rogue band members. We love the electricity of a band playing in an intimate space, and we reckon you should get along and experience it for yourself.
The next YBR is on Wednesday 25th February, and features Sydney indie darlings, The Spirits.
Be there!
