Orange Street Music has a live event most nights too.

A point to note is that events on campus are likely to be changed for the final term due to the noise ban – I will update the list when I hear more about those events affected.

Sadly due to exam term the live night at Mungo’s has been cancelled but I hear that Alex is trying to arrange for an alternative venue (possibly on another day of the week). I have taken down a couple of other nights that will be off due to exams and the noise ban.
* Every alternate fortnight at one or other of these places
If there is anything I have left out then add a comment and I will update the list, I know there is an indie night at studio41 sometimes… not sure when.

** Every first monday of the month

    Isn’t there also a live night@hobgoblins every monday? I think it’s always the same guy playing guitar/singing (…don’t personally like it, but its something :)

  2. Nath Says:

    Ok, will add it :D

  3. Ross Says:

    Could always add Ruby Tuesdays at Origins (Darwin College)

  4. Nath Says:

    Done :D

  5. Gemma Says:

    Sorry to sound stupid – but whats C4 acoustic night and where is it?
    Cheers dudexx

  6. Nath Says:

    Gemma, it is Christchurch SU – C4 is (or at least it was) the name of their bar :-)

  7. Katy Says:

    Surely you should have:
    Boycott the prom (Thursdays at Beercart)
    Rutherford Live (Saturdays at Rutherford bar)
    A kick up the arts (Tuesdays at Tonic)

    :p

  8. Katy Says:

    And Lost Boys Collective (Wednesdays at Rutherford Bar)

    Correction on the hobgoblins thingy:
    the “live event” is Luke Smith, and it’s on the first monday of every month.

    Also… it does seem that beer cart has started to have live bands on Tuesdays. But I’m not sure if it happens every tuesday… Can anyone verify that?

    An idea: Would it be possible to add some form of classification to the various events… e.g. the various sorts of music.. e.g. most people that like mondays at beer cart, will hate mondays at mungos… (and vice versa)…
    so it makes the selection process easier :)

    Cheers!

    Updated.

    Am open to suggestions for how to divide it up? Maybe Accoustic and Chilled / Hard Rock & Dance ur ass off events?

  11. Mike Says:

    Yeap… …that would work for me… not sure about the others though..
    Or, even better, there could be three cateogories:

    1) Accoustic/Chilled etc
    2) Hard Rock/Metal etc
    3) Potential mosh pit

    …that would be sufficient I suppose!

    Divided it up a bit; if anyone thinks something should be in a different place or i’ve accidentally lost something in the process drop a comment on here
    :)
