How far would you go for free gigs?

Canberra's Green Room is offering free lifetime entry to ALL future gigs. In return, all you have to do is permanently tattoo the venues logo on your body. eg:

Green Room tatt

Tempting...but no.

ChrisBrimstone  said about 1 year ago:

Hell yes...i'd save so much cash. Le_disco, can I arrange this for Spectrum?

whats the green room like tho?


empra  said about 1 year ago:

Oh my god.


shaun  said about 1 year ago:

I thought the Green Room was closing? Or was that another Canberra venue?


nicko_mcbrain  said about 1 year ago:

yeah, if that was for a decent melbourne venue, i'd so do it - what's a tatt? $250 and 45 minutes of mid-level pain. i'd make that back in a single year of shows, even if they had a 'no internationals' clause.


ChrisBrimstone  said about 1 year ago:

whats the green room like tho?

Its like the only venue in Canberra


littlesmoke  said about 1 year ago:

Canberra's best venue. Make of that what you will. :-)

(actually, it really is a good venue. Particularly since its move to the Uni of Canberra bar)

only if it's on your forehead.


littlesmoke  said about 1 year ago:

Not quite Chris...one of a few though, yes.


plaidplaidgirl  said about 1 year ago:

Only if it comes with drinks subsidies too.


empra  said about 1 year ago:

Have you even been to Canberra?


littlesmoke  said about 1 year ago:

It was going to close, but ended up moving to bigger & better premises instead.

the album leaf have/had this deal for fans who get an album leaf tattoo ... free entry to all gigs


scrag  said about 1 year ago:

perhaps if it was called something other than the green room i'd think about it


LockingPlier  said about 1 year ago:

The Tote did this a while back.


ChrisBrimstone  said about 1 year ago:

I thought the Green Room was closing? Or was that another Canberra venue?

it was, but then it wasn't


LockingPlier  said about 1 year ago:

RFTC had the same deal too.


ChrisBrimstone  said about 1 year ago:

Have you even been to Canberra?

Nope...but other venues exist in Canberra? Educate me


bamesjaker  said about 1 year ago:

I'd like to see the person who won the Tote competition a few years back grace the stage again. It's been too long.


michael_horse  said about 1 year ago:

at least the album leaf tattoo is a lot less ... self explanatory ... than the green room one


littlesmoke  said about 1 year ago:

Nope...but other venues exist in Canberra? Educate me

ANU The Venue (yes, that really is its name) The Pot Belly The Basement ANU The Pheonix Bar


littlesmoke  said about 1 year ago:

I'll try that again...

  • ANU
  • The Venue
  • The Pot Belly
  • The Basement
  • The Pheonix Bar

empra  said about 1 year ago:

Is that it littlesmoke? Because I'm sure I have more on my list at home... I also know quite a few good bands from Canberra. If you're not educated on a subject, don't comment on it.

I got paid to see Elvis Costello in Canberra, that was tops.


redlips  said about 1 year ago:

quite scary that someone who works for a national gig guide makes such rash, incorrect statements.


the power of 666  said about 1 year ago:

I'd get a tattoo on my face of the Queen shitting Peter Russell Clarke into Rolf Harris' soup to NEVER have to go to canberra again.


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

i have some permanent scars from nights at the annandale, would that count?


shaun  said about 1 year ago:

The Phoenix has live music?! That place is tiny! Nice place though.


empra  said about 1 year ago:

i have some permanent scars from nights at the annandale, would that count?

I have some from Spectrum too....


littlesmoke  said about 1 year ago:

Is that it littlesmoke? Because I'm sure I have more on my list at home

Also The Transit Bar, Holy Grail, The Front, a couple of youth centres.

& yep, Phoenix Bar is tiny but hosts some of the best live music nights going. Monday nights in particular are usually fantastic there.

Er, i was speaking metaphorically - as in 'thats the only place that has consistant good live music and international touring acts and as such is the only one that would be worth getting a tat for in Canberra. i'm aware of Canberra's music scene and have listings for all those venues...but i can't see myself geting a tat of them

anyone walking around with a FUCK THIS I'M GOING TO THE ANNANDALE tat?
