Let’s be real: Australia, and particularly Sydney, has been going through some tough live music times. We’ve all experienced the struggle of trying to find a bar after-after hours to enjoy a drink and some live music.

And you are all cordially invited.
Last Sunday, we were in attendance for a sold-out FCxMCA party – an immersion of contemporary art, music and good times in the spectacular surrounds of the MCA Sculpture Terrace.
