Behold, the most splendid Friday night of live music Sydney has ever offered up

Can you remember a time when we had THREE 'featured' shows on a single night'?

In fact, you need to go all the way back to September 2001 (pre-internet days when this website was written on a single A4 page and photocopied out to the masses) for the last occurrence of such a phenomena. On that particular Wednesday evening the trio of shows included Phil Collins playing at The Basement, Dr Dre playing a 'secret' show in the Stanmore McDonalds carpark AND Bit By Bats playing at Spectrum.

While TONIGHT's trio of entertainment options might not quite match up to that epic evening of pleasure (remember Bit By Bats?? Fuck!) BUT it's really damn close...

Spunk Single's Launch @ Hopetoun Hotel

In case you didn't 'get' this post, we think Leader Cheetah are a pretty incredible band. To make it even sweeter they will be joined at the launch by The Middle East, megastick fanfare (who I have been trying to catch since forever) AND The Maple Trail. Tickets are $16 on the door or $14 presale via Moshtix.

Naked On The Vague

Naked On The Vague fundraiser @ Serial Space

The Sydney DIY duo are hosting a show to raise money for their upcoming pilgrimage to the US. While in the ol' You Es Of Ay the group are planning to play at SXSW and also touring with Blank Dogs. They will be joined tonight by an array of awesome Sydney artists - Holy Balm, Justice Yeldham, Red Pinkos and Bed Wettin' Bad Boys. The show costs just $10 and kicks off around 7pm.

SPOD @ World Bar

You know it's a BIG night in Sydney town when one of our favourite entertainment machinezz and THE inaugural Person Of The Year winner is our third option. SPOD is expected to not get on stage until around midnight so there is the option (as discussed here) to go to one of these other shows and still catch his performance. If you chose that option, however, you will more than likely miss the fantastic support cast - Jordy Lane, Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers, The Waysiders and We Say Bamboulee. Tough call all 'round.
