Other gigs booked for the venue’s final month include a couple of Laneway Festival sideshows, a headline set by Jordie Lane, a double bill featuring Dick Diver and Geoffrey O’Connor and a five-band line-up curated by local label Wireless Records. The 400-capacity venue has operated since 2006, hosting hundreds of Australian and international acts.

Pop superstar Pink was a regular visitor at the adjoining bistro when in Melbourne; she tweeted her support for the venue’s vegan parma.

Plans to turn the venue into a five-storey apartment complex were lodged with Moreland City Council last year and are still pending approval. Farewell East Brunswick, you’ll be missed. Visit eastbrunswickclub.com

Ra dio heads

Radio can be pretty boring, what with the irritating presenters, endless ads and hearing the same song three times an hour – if you listen to a commercial station.

Thank goodness for indie radio station PBS 106.7FM, which kicks off its regular Drive Live week on Monday. Three acts will perform live to air in the drivetime slot each weekday, with the likes of Graveyard Train, Lost Animal and Howl at the Moon already announced.

Members of the station can score free tickets to watch the sets in the studio, while others can tune in and be less frustrated in peak-hour traffic. Drive Live has been a fixture since the late 1980s, with Paul Kelly, Gareth Liddiard and Thee Oh Sees among the acts to have taken part. Visit pbsfm.org.au

With a bullet

A bunch of Melbourne bands, comedians and DJs will take over Richmond’s Corner Hotel on February 16 to raise funds for a friend. Genny B, a Triple R regular and former member of the Bites, has been battling cancer.

To help pay her medical bills, Glenn Richards, Dan Kelly and Davey Lane will take to the stage. Also on the bill: Spicks and Specks’ Alan Brough and members of Architecture in Helsinki on the decks.

Tickets are $25 plus booking fee, with all proceeds towards Genny B’s treatment. Visit cornerhotel.com
