Joey Lightbulb & Friends (Northcote SC 20th Birthday Opening Party!)

NSC is turning 20 and we’re throwing one helluva party!

To celebrate two decades, we’re rolling out 20 Gigs for 20 Years — a huge birthday series running through July and August, stacked with some of our all-time favourites!

We wanted to start our 20th Birthday shows with a BANG so we tapped man about town, Fan of the People and general rogue, DJ Joey Lightbulb. He agreed on one condition: Lightbulb could play a 5 hour set and bring surprise guests on during the night.

Say less, Joey.

That's right, the carryover Interstitial DJ champion of Golden Plains 16/17 is going TURBO for our 20th Birthday. In the last 12 months he’s supported Roisin Murphy, The Presets, Chet Faker, Tash Sultana, sold out four (!) Night Cat shows and learnt how to properly use the loop function on CDJs. On April 26 there’ll be surprise guests, drink specials and Lightbulb playing 8pm-1am.

He'll drop all bangers no clangers from Harvey Sutherland, Goldfrapp, Soulwax, The Kinks, Riton & Kah-Lo, The Avalanches, Peaches, The Reflex Revisions, Amyl and The Sniffers, David Bowie, Dua Lipa, Big Wett, Midland, Roni Size, KNEECAP, Mowgli, Bonobo, Dismantle, Green Child, Chappell Roan, Axel Bowman, Kylie Minogue, LCD Soundsystem, Kornel Kovacs, Idris Muhammad and Crookers (Kid Cudi we’re looking in your direction). You'll hear sleazy funk, indie bangers, disco edits, sexy house, UK bass, throwback breakbeats, Berlin techno and hip-dislocating drum'n'bass.

Everything is on the table and as usual, Lightbulb’s DMs are open for the best requests (you may even end up on stage with him). This will sell out, be the hero of your group chat.
July 4, 8pm-1am.

Come raise a glass and help us celebrate 20 years of great gigs and good yarns at NSC — we wouldn’t want to do it without you! 
Plus, snag a ticket to one of our birthday series shows and you could win a double gig pass, pub voucher & merch! 

Our show is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of this land we are gathered on. We also pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities that may join us for our show.

This series is supported by Oztix & Creative Victoria.
