Teen Archer/UV Race/Dead Farmers - Birmy this Sat the 8th!

Save The Birmingham Hotel

Dear Friends of The Birmingham

We'd like to reach out for your help!

Since new management took over the birmingham last year, we've seen some incredible local bands through the venue and have grown to be a great fixture Melbourne's live music community.

The idea of hosting bands at the Birmingham is slowly fading due to noise complaints from one neighbour. And in the last couple of days,
has become serious to the point that we could be told to cease bands as of tonight - I would also like to point out that the neighbour moved into the residence after the venue had been hosting bands.

In a last minute dash - we are asking for anyone who has visited the venue, for a beer or a band, or even anyone who appreciates the importance of preserving the venue to sign this petition below.

Although - on a legal standpoint, the petition will not hold water, we are hoping to appeal to the neighbour so they can see the venue is loved and cherished by a broader public.

So, if you could please take the time to write a small message, or even just a signature - we will be passing this on the neighbour.

Thanks,

The Birmingham Hotel

SIGN THE PETITION

Digger & The Pussycats/TAPE MAN

So Geelong won the Grand Final- i got stuck on a train full of footy fans, i got asked by an old drunk guy "Hey mate where's your beer?"

Right now i'm sitting at my friend Jimi's house watching Box Elders live on the Gonerfest live stream. Sonic Chicken 4, Box Elders, Nobunny, Cheater Slicks. Today is a good day.

I went to The Birmy last night to catch Jack Petty dj'ing, it was a good crowd- lots of good requests like Whitney Houston!



Then i swung by Yah-Yah's to catch Digger & The Pussycats-

Yes, that is 3 beers taped together.

Pony 2am for The Ghost Of Tape Man!

Pink Reason

Late Arvo Sons

This Saturday Late Arvo Sons are launching their debut album. I've heard a few of the tracks and they sound great. It was recorded with Mikey Young so you know it's quality already. Supporting them are Chinese Burns, Trophy Wives and Lost Burrows. It'll cost $10 and it starts at 8pm.
