Every Tuesday night Bar Open in Melbourne invites musicians to come and improvise experimental sounds. Founded by percussionist Will Guthrie and guitarist Ren Walters in 1998, ‘MIUC’ has become the longest running program of its type in Australia. It has helped to cultivate a vibrant and diverse scene for avant-garde improvisation, challenging boundaries of current musical trends while remaining open to all genres idioms and instrumentation. Listen in and keep and ‘Open’ mind.

No the 70’s new wave group from Sheffield haven’t made a come back, this is something much better! The excellent live and club named after these new wavers, (or perhaps after the famous café in Zurich which was the inspiration for the pop group) in Edinburgh is now streaming live almost every night on Awdio.com. The program at Cabaret Voltaire is a diverse mish-mash of live concerts early on in the evening and club nights every night of the week.

Every Thursday night it’s ‘Sick Note’ featuring indie and electro carefully selected by local Indie kids Clash! and Spies in the Wires DJs as well as live bands on an indie/rock tip. This is a night where Kate Nash, the Horrors, Spektrum and Jamie T happily rub shoulders (ok not in the flesh but almost…)

On the weekends expect anything from dubstep to shuffle house with a multitude of different club events rotating throughout the month. Listen to Cabaret Voltaire LIVE on Awdio!
