Cancel your Saturday morning alarm because Sydney’s new pop-up rock bar Dingbats Party Pit is back in action this Friday eve with a veritable rock n’ roll circus of wild and wonderful attractions.
Hosted by local legend Thraxxy, the TGIF debauchery set inside the grungy basement bar of Inferno’s Rock Room in the CBD will run from 8pm til 4am with a smorgasbord of sweaty live rock bands, mind-boggling performance art and metal DJs keeping the vibes cranking til the wee hours.
“A big, gnarly party for those who like it loud.”
On the music side of things, psych-rockers Large Mirage will be headlining festivities with their hypnotic grooves and lightning licks, on a bill rounded out by local hard rock heathens Avalanche, surf-grunge purveyors Headsend, the duel guitar classic rock antics of Mystery and party folk maniacs, The Bottlers.
Supplementing the riffage, punters will be treated to some batshit crazy performance art from badass local creators the likes of Marlena Dali, Misstaken Identity, Arizona, Raq The Clown and Bella Louche.
Finally, a fat DJ roster featuring Goggles, Axl Bros, Nitecall and Azaria will be soundtracking the antics with the face-melting selection of rock and metal singalongs.
Dingbats Party Pit is an event concept devised by the maniac mind behind all the good times you had at Hunter St’s late great rock n’ roll dive bar Frankie’s Pizza, AKA Jordan McDonald, now head of one-of-a-kind event brand NITE-RITE Entertainment.
“These will be very occasional, spark in the dark events that never outstay their welcome, always showcase the sickest Rock acts of the minute and always surprise,” McDonald tells Music Feeds of Dingbats. “The surprise on Friday’s bill will be the performance sets between each band. Each performer’s created a unique show for Dingbats designed to dazzle, shock and awe to a Heavy Metal soundtrack.”
He continues: “I’ll probably be juggling fire extinguishers, rock bands and the community who come out to revel in it all, and can’t fuckn wait. The bands, fans, performers, doorstaff, DJs etc are all like family. It’s just a big, gnarly party for those who like it loud. It will definitely sell out though so I’d suggest snagging tix while they’re hot.”
