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 Licklash, W.O.M.B.A.T and Laura Norda are stopping by for a show. 

Licklash are a fierce, femme-fronted four-piece punk band from Naarm. After playing 45 shows in 2024—including support for Jack White (USA) and Private Function—they’ve welcomed Shauna of Cable Ties and Maiya of Scud to the lineup. Their debut EP Big Smile (2024) was hailed as “a masterclass in garage punk” by Far Out Magazine.

W.O.M.B.A.T - Just a Waste Of Money Brains And Time... with a little slither of rock n roll.

Laura Norda is the brainchild of Laura Scheirich and Aidan McDonald. Their songs will tear your heart apart and mend it back together all in the same breath. With a lineup featuring talents from Private Function, Lizard Queen, Good Morning, and Steel Wheels, Laura Norda will have you begging for more of their refreshing blend of laid-back 90s-inspired rock and roll. Their debut self-titled album was released in February 2025, which features singles “Bone to Pick”, “I Want to Believe,” and “Kitty”.

Social Sanctuary is proud to be sponsored by Mountain Goat.

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.
