FREE ENTRY | $20 CHICKEN & EGGPLANT PARMAS | $10 PINTS OF MOUNTAIN GOAT

Kick those Monday blues to the curb at Social Sanctuary – your weekly night of free live music at NSC. We've lined up a stellar roster of your fave local artists and some exciting new talents breezing through town!

This week Butternut Sweetheart, Harness and Kelsey Jean & the Bad Health are stopping by for a show. 

Butternut Sweetheart is the music of two strangers who unwittingly and simultaneously moved into a ghost town. With little else to distract them, they bonded over their love for the piano and beautifully written indie music. After spending a decade each in service of the music of others as producers, writers, and session musicians, Luke and Jazz shift their collective focus and talents to Butternut Sweetheart. The wheels of Butternut Sweetheart started spinning in Sydney's Inner West with the release of their first EP, 'Concrete Solid Lung', which "immersed listeners with delicious, dreamy indie pop" (beat mag).The release earned the band radio plays (Triple J, Double J RRR, PBS, FBi) and media coverage (BeatMag, Tonedeaf ) as well as national support tours (Ball Park Music, Elana Stone). Now Melbourne based, the duo turn their eyes to their upcoming EP, 'I've Got My Problems, You've Got Your Dreams’. Sitting at the intersection between alternative rock, electronica and an angular take on indie-pop, this new collection of music explores disconnection and the significance of communal existence in the modern world.

Naarm based, mid-north coast emo band ‘Harness’ play their debut show at Northcote Social Club.

Melbourne-based Kelsey Jean & The Bad Health weave a dynamic blend of psych rock and indie folk, crafting a sound that is both bold and cinematic. Fronted by whimsical and poetic songwriter Kelsey Jean, the band brings her evocative storytelling to life with tight grooves, shimmering lead guitar, and lush harmonies.

Social Sanctuary is proud to be sponsored by Mountain Goat.
