Bandmate blind dates: Speed dating for bandmates comes to Brunswick this week

Words by Staff Writer

Musicians seeking their perfect bandmate match can now find them at The Beast's latest event series kicking off this month in Brunswick.

In a city where finding the right collaborator can feel as challenging as scoring a rental under $500, The Beast is launching Bandmate Blind Date, a monthly mixer aimed at connecting Naarm’s growing pool of musical talent. The concept is simple: musicians of all stripes gather, jam, and potentially spark the creative chemistry that could lead to the next breakthrough act.

The inaugural event promises to transform The Beast’s main room into a meeting ground for prospective bandmates, complete with a fully equipped stage and house band The Dead Amigos filling any awkward silences between connections.

The venue is providing drums and backline equipment, with participants encouraged to bring their own instruments. The night will operate as an open stage environment, allowing impromptu jams between potential collaborators.

Whether you’re hunting for the next Amyl to your Sniffers, or the next Lux to your Poison Ivy, RSVPs for this musical matchmaking night are already rolling in. The Beast’s monthly mixer aims to connect musicians across genres and experience levels in Melbourne’s thriving music scene.

The event comes as Melbourne’s live music scene continues its post-pandemic renaissance, with new venues opening monthly and increasing demand for fresh local talent.

RSVPs are flying in, so email [email protected] with your name, what you play or what you are looking for and join us for a beer, a yarn, or even a jam.
