Week 52
Week 52
Day 358–366
16–24 February 2017
Trendy Melbourne lanes, jazz, brutal Bach reinterpretations, epic sold-out shows, Austrian prog, indie vibes, solo artists, unexpected gigs, bands from Beijing, cruisy Sundays and a lot of metal. Week 52 marks the completion of stage one of my 365 Day Project and includes Daniel Tucceri at Northcote Social Club, The Big And Easy Jazz Band busking in Degraves Lane, Alithia and Mother's Cake at The Evelyn and Christ Crusher, Vicious Circle, Blunt Shovel and the Douche Crew at The Tote. VC being added to the Blunt Shovel lineup and discovering Shovels were playing upstairs in Cobra Bar on the same night made my week! Two of my favourite bands are now in 365! Win! This week also features Jade Imagine in The Tote front bar, Ross Elliott at Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar, Nuclear Assault at Max Watt's, Birdstriking at The Tote and the Baudelaires, Jules McKenzie and White+ sets at The Old Bar, Fitzroy. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their incredible support and interest in the project. As for 365 becoming 366, 2016 was a leap year, so although my project technically drew to a close on 23 February at 365 days, I decided to take it through the calendar year, closing out on 24 February 2017 at day 366. What a ride.

A quick stop into The Tote to say hi to Gus before heading to The Old Bar. Officially, this is the last day for my 365 Project, but with 2016 being a Leap Year, I’ve decided to take this beautiful monster the whole nine yards. Three hundred and sixty-six days it is
