Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the Black Lips have cemented themselves as legends of garage rock since their formation in 1999. This year’s LP Apocalypse Love launched a new era for the shape-shifting outfit, debuting a whole new style and a change to their lineup.

It all goes down at The Hotel Esplanade, known lovingly by the locals as The Espy, on March 3. Live music shows, open mic nights and comedy sessions are all happening across the expansive venue, showcasing everything from intimate jazz and acoustic sets to heavier rock bands all weekend and most weeknights. Whether it’s a gig in the prolific Gershwin Room or a weekly free show in the basement, The Espy has always been and always will be the home of live music located right at the heart of St Kilda.

Reputed to be the longest continuously running live music venue in Australia, The Espy carries the torch of a prolific and storied history of live music.
