‘The Espy’ in St Kilda has been Australia’s premier live music venue since the late 1800’s and was a little worse for wear when it was bought up by nightclub owners Paul Adamo and Vince Sofo in 2001. They gave the place a new lease of life adding a restaurant and different floors all featuring live music. The impressive Gershwin room upstairs hosts main acts and the Front Room (Live on Awdio) has become the place to discover live local talent. Sunday night’s celebrations feature the Sunday residents Headspace, Nudist Funk Orchestra and Bad Boys Batucada. More details on: http://theesplanadehotel.com.au/

Originally from Liverpool but with Bulgarian and Japanese roots, the electro/rock group Ladytron have been building up a solid fan base over the years.
