As sure as day becomes night, Brisbane’s 4ZZZ slips into the streams of creative diversity once more, as the risers of this vibrant ZED51 doorstep cross over into another 50 years as part of a Brisbane community of media-active cultural spaces.
Presented by 4ZZZ, ZED51 is set to reinvigorate Brisbane on Saturday, October 24, as 13 bands once again cloak the hills of Roma Street Parklands with music, stalls, and that incredible community spirit that only live music can bring. Two stages, no crossovers, open to all ages, along with markets, stalls, food, etc., running from midday to 10 pm.
“Last year 4ZZZ turned 50, and to celebrate, we hosted a plethora of events across three months that resulted in one heck of a birthday party,” 4ZZZ station manager Nick explains. “One such event was Zed50, a nod to the market days of old and a showcase of the sound of our community – past, present and future.
This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever. It recognises how far 4ZZZ has come since 1975 and where it is headed post-50th. Music is a universal language, and we here at 4ZZZ look forward to sharing some of our favourite acts from near and afar with you (our community) at Zed51.”
Leading the charge will be MUDHONEY, who played a show for 4ZZZ in 1990 at East Leagues Club with Proton Energy Pills and Alien Virus to about 600 people. Later that same year, the band ventured back for the December 8 LIVID FESTIVAL at the RNA showgrounds, along with TISM, Died Pretty, Jackfrost, Falling Joys, Clouds, Xero and more in lieu of the 4ZZZ 15th birthday celebrations.
Joining them in this burgeoning moment for Brisbane to rejoice in the love of culture will be the pop-drenched goodness of Brisbane’s very own CUSTARD, running riot in the apartments caught between having the technology and a Wisenheimer… music is never crap. It is fun!
Add to that BARKAA, THE MARK OF CAIN, CASH SAVAGE & THE LAST DRINKS, SHONEN KNIFE, I HEART HIROSHIMA, TAPE/OFF, DEM MOB, MITCH, PLEASE, SUPERHOTEL, STILL FULL FROM LUNCH, plus BABY COOL, and you have all of the necessary ingredients for yet another unforgettable day of music, brought to you by 4ZZZ.
