Lake Mac is gearing up for one of the biggest months of gigs and events this year.
Set the reminders, grab your tickets and get set to get amongst all the action and live music throughout October.
One of the highlights will undoubtedly be the return of Skunkhour to the region.
Skunkhour emerged in the early 1990s when the Australian live music scene thought its best days had come and gone.
It was a period marked by the ascent of Grunge, the blossoming of Rave culture, and the initial sparks of Hip Hop’s influence. Somehow, this band out of Sydney managed to capture all the excitement of these new genres into one package. Then they went on to become one of the country’s most exciting acts.
You can check out the details for the Lake Mac gig below and info on what else is happening around the city in October.
