After kicking off with free gigs from indie types like Cloud Control and Hungry Kids Of Hungary in December, Carlton Dry’s ‘Thanks God It’s Monday’ industry nights return with four huge gigs this month.

Making your Mondays more bearable in this second round of free industry events will be local live heroes Miami Horror and Bag Raiders, both acts coming off a watershed 2010. For something a little different, Philadelphia Grand Jury and Bluejuice are doing Brisbane and Melbourne respectively.

Specially brewed for those of you who spend your weekends slaving away at cafes and bars, Thank God It’s Monday is a series of free monthly gigs featuring some of Australia’s finest acts.

Sydney – Miami Horror
Monday 24 January @ Kit & Kaboodle
