Just in case (for whatever reason) you were on the fence about catching the incredible Alex Lahey kill it at SJ’s this Saturday night, here are my top 5 reasons to ditch the couch and that planned Mulholland Drive and clean skin wine marathon and party with the people.

She Shreds

You don’t jump off the Splendour Stage, straight to Big Sound and come home to an invite to South by Southwest for just any old performance. A passionate yet humble performer, Alex is sure to put on a killer gig.

She Gets It

Your mid twenties can be one of those times where you find yourself floundering, seeing some of your mates buying their second investment property whilst you’re still waking up hungover in strange houses without your shoes and trying to remember how to get home (re-telling for a friend). Unlike those mates of yours who’ve apparently “got it together” Alex’s debut EP “B-Grade University” is an ode to the 20 something, and through her music, has all of our backs.Her Songs are Catchy As Hell

Her Songs are Catchy As Hell

For the Triple J fans out there, I’m sure you’ve all caught yourself tapping the steering wheel whilst  cruising with your windows down through suburbia. What’s that song, you know the one… For the record it’s called “You don’t think you like people like me” and it’s by Alex Lahey. And hey, you’re in luck. You can see her FO FREE at SJ’s on Saturday night.She’s Been Dropping Hints For Months

She’s Been Dropping Hints For Months

“Let’s go out and have fun tonight, let’s go out and get drunk tonight, let’s go out and have fuuuuuuuunn”. Catchy and oh so on point. Let’s take her up on that offer and party like only Novocastrians can.Rachel Maria Cox aka RMC is Supporting

Rachel Maria Cox aka RMC is Supporting

RMC and their incredible bad (the cox) are kicking off the show on Saturday night. There is nothing more important than supporting our local music community. RMC’s Ep “I Just Have a Lot of Feelings” was released earlier this year and is totally going like gangbusters because it’s a ripper of a record. Muster up your home town pride and get down early!

PS: Did I mention it’s a FREE SHOW!!

p.p.s Oh and Alex, in case you’re wondering… we definitely do like people like you.
