Rocket Bar is located in the heart of Adelaide’s most popular club district, the West End. It is the city’s most unique live music venue. Rocket Bar boasts infinitely superior sound and lighting and a deluxe interior, along with tap beer, a fully equipped stage, and two ample dance floors. Retro decor in the form of lamps, light-fittings, lounges, arcade games, and pinball will put you in the mood. But, the real reason Rocket is famous is for its music; the incredibly wide range of indie-rock, punk, psych, electro, beats, soul, jazz, funk, and afro will keep you guessing and keep you dancing.

I’ve never really been to that many hip hop shows, in fact I don’t really attend many live shows at all outside of festivals. However when I saw Spank Rock was touring, there was no way I was going to miss out.
