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 blue diner., Blue Vedder + Edvard Mac are stopping by for a show. 

Rosa, Jarren, Jack and Tim are blue diner. A shoegaze quartet from the sleepy suburb of Ashgrove, Meanjin/Brisbane. In the relatively short time since their first single, Bearings, blue diner have gone from strength to strength landing multiple editorial playlist adds and sharing stages with the likes of First Beige, Floodlights, The Belair Lip Bombs, Noah Dillon, Platonic Sex and RINSE. The band are set to close out 2024 with an east coast tour off the back of their second sold out hometown headline show. Their newest release Mezzanine is a blistering track that perfectly encapsulates the energy of a blue diner live set. blue diner is recommended for fans of Slowdive, Armlock and DIIV.

The past 2 years have been a steady and blossoming success for alternative rock / shoegaze band, Blue Vedder. After winning a Triple J Unearthed competition in 2022, the band went from small rooms to performing at staple festivals including Spilt Milk and Yours and Owls Festival, playing cities across Australia, and selling out shows in Melbourne. Their forthcoming EP FAREWELL. GOODBYE. will be out November 8.

Known for his work at Melbourne based independent label COHORT, Edvard Hakansson has somehow found the time between running his label, producing, mixing, and managing to bring us Edvard Mac, his new solo project. No stranger to the stage, Mac has been playing in bands for the last 10 years, most recently finding himself alongside good friend Phoebe Go. Mac’s life and work often finds him surrounded by an ecosystem of close friends and talented creatives across Australia. Often found behind the scenes of local favourites like Juice Webster, RINSE, Mimi Gilbert, Geography, Darcy Baylis and Darcie Haven. Now comes time for Edvard Mac. Written and recorded between his Chinatown apartment, North Melbourne studio, and a space just outside of Castlemaine, this project is a map of Mac’s world… A culmination of experience and emotion, with his community by his side. Think Elliot Smith meets The Shins, has a drink with Alex G and listens to Porches on the way home. This record feels like stepping out on a winter's day. Wind chill to the face, moody and introspective but refreshing nonetheless.
