It’s all happenin’!

Rattle Sydney is a community-minded micro festival curated by popular local band The Ruckus, held with the intention of squashing popular misconceptions and proving that Sydney’s music scene sure as hell ain’t dead.

Keen activists of Keep Sydney Open, The Ruckus have pulled together with some of their muso mates to put on a mini festival with a political twist, pushing to promote local music under the strain of the lockout laws.

With an absolutely chocka lineup of some of the city’s biggest names, Rattle Sydney looks to celebrate the varied positive aspects of what’s available to Sydney residents despite the restraints from the man.

Some of the bands set to prove that live music is in fact alive and well include –

The Ruckus

Kallidad

Rick Dangerous and the Silkie Bantams

Suiix

Daniel D’arcy

Azaria Byrne

Wolves in Fashion

Lord St Collective

And many more bands on the day, supported with burlesque dancers and comedic interjections from several local stand ups. And the best part of all this? The entire event is free.

Prove the politicians and press wrong and party at Botany View Hotel, Saturday October 1 from midday till late. For more information, head to the Facebook page, here.
