Why am I posting about a bridge? More importantly, this bridge:
Not very pretty, is it? This concrete behemoth is the Go-Between Bridge, named after the iconic (read: no one actually knew who they were in their day) Brisbane band, the Go-Betweens. And to celebrate the opening of this bridge, there's going to be a concert. On the bridge.
In the spirit of the extreme indie-ness of the Go Betweens, the concert features all Australian indie. Angus and Julia Stone for some reason are headlining over the last remaining half of the Go-Betweens: Robert Forster. Also included are Josh Pyke, Bob Evans, Yves Klein Blue and locals, the John Steel Singers.
It's the afternoon of June 25th, on the West End side of the bridge and will be about $50.
The sad thing is, the Go Betweens are still relatively unknown in their home country and town, but were incredibly large in England. You may know the Go Betweens from their song in a Sunday Mail ad a few years ago:
