It's been a long time between drinks, but I thought I should let everyone know of a couple of the bigger thinks approaching. On August 28th the annual Revolution Rock returns to Sydney with a lineup that won't disappoint:

The Domnicks (WA) (featuring Nick Sheppard from The Clash)
The Rumjacks,
The CityLights,
Madonna (VIC)
The Tearaways (VIC)

This year the Sydney event will be held at the Annandale and there will also be a gig in Melbourne on September 4 @ the Birmingham Hotel.

Later in the year Melbourne will play host to Ska Nation again, and Dizzybeat will be there to cover it again. Last year was awesome, with the One Night Band from Canada topping a great weekend of music. This year the event will be on October 30, 31 and November 1. Be there!

STEPPIN RAZOR
THE MY TY's
SHORE RHYTHM
DJ GLEN DIZZYBEAT
TOMMY GUN
DJ FROM FULL HOUSE

Garageland returns with its energetic mix of punk, reggae, ska and soul and a line-up as good as any the Loft Bar has seen.

Steppin’ Razor will follow their hugely successful record launch with a show to end all shows before they take an extended break. Their political punky reggae will invigorate the critical thinker and energise those with a tendency towards the dancefloor.

The My Ty’s have been creeping into the Sydney consciousness with their mix of ska, rock and reggae. The 9-piece act will demonstrate the full effect that only a 9-piece band can have on an audience.

Kicking off the night, we’re happy to introduce the rootsy reggae act Shore Rhythm to Sydney. Warm your winter souls with the harmonised sound of this 4-piece featuring lap-steel guitar and keys.

Before, between and after the bands DJs Glen Dizzybeat, Tommy Gun and DJ from Full House will be spinning the smoothest sounds for the dancefloor, from JA to the UK and all the way to the Motor City.

It all makes for an upbeat night of roots- rock-reggae that no other night of live music can offer.

There are a couple of things worth checking out in Sydney this weekend. The first is Steppin' Razor's CD launch at the Annandale on Friday night and the second is Uptown Top Ranking at the Hollywood on the Saturday. Full details of each are below:
