Coast to Coast is a new live music initiative spearheaded by MusicSA and the Crown & Anchor.
Across two weekends in May and June, six handpicked acts from Adelaide, Mt. Gambier and Melbourne will take to the stage at the Cranker for a free evening of awesome live music.
The first night, held on Thursday, May 8, features a lineup consisting of local upstarts Molly Rocket, Mt. Gambier indie electro duo Sexy As Shit and Melbourne's multi-cultural, neuro-diverse and gender-diverse dance-punk outfit Dole Manchild.
A month later on Thursday, June 12, groovy Adelaide rock and rollers The Shadow Ministers are joined by rising Mt. Gambier surf garage act Stokes and Melbourne indie delinquents Stimpies.
Both gigs are free but punters must be 18 or over to attend.
Coast to Coast is a great way for Adelaide music lovers to support the local live scene and maybe even discover their new favourite band.
Coast to Coast is held at Crown & Acnhor on Thursday, May 8 and Thursday, June 12. Entry is free.
