This Weekend in the Wick

You gotta love Brunswick. Every week there's great music and half the time there's no cover charge. The Retreat andthe Brunswick are regulars in this regard, but this weekend Plan B, Noise Bar, The Cornish Arms all offer free gigs and the East is only charging $8 on Saturday night. Add to this our first listings for the former Big House, now known as Don't Tell Tom and you understand why Brunswick is the premier location in Melbourne (if not the world) for live music.

This week's Golden Parrot just goes to Brunswick. That's it.

Perico band members Richo and Col are off to the snow this weekend so we're going to miss all the music action - but we'll be thnking about it when we're having our apres-ski beers in a crappy yuppy bar with some guitarist and drum machine playing dodgy Bryan Adams' covers.
