If you spend your weekend slaving away at a café, studying for uni or working behind the bar, only to get to Monday and feel like you have missed a weekend, then Carlton Dry’s new industry nights may be just what you’ve been looking for.

Thank God It’s Monday is a free series of gigs that will be running nationally through December and into 2011, featuring some of Australia’s finest acts. We’re also told that later editions may have more of an indie-dance focus, so stay tuned!
