Editor’s Note
Every night of the week Melbourne is awash in an array of sounds. From heartfelt folk at The Gem to scuzzy guitars blasting through The Corner, the next generation of hip hop stars carving up Laundry Bar, or a night of soul and jazz at The Night Cat – the list could stretch on, and to each of us a night of sounds in Melbourne means something different. We are so lucky that our wealth of artists is as diverse as our tastes, and exploring the venues that house them is all part of the adventure. That’s why an event like Leaps and Bounds is such a mainstay – whether you’re into electronic, hip hop, jazz or rock, there’s something in their smorgasboard of events for you.
Here I am, with the weather chat again – because I know it’s bloody freezing, and that makes it extra hard to leave the warm confines of your house. But these cold months are when our local venues, and the bands that fill their rooms, need our support the most. So deep dive into the Leaps and Bounds program, pick some shows to fill your week, and continue living it up in this great music city we call Melbourne. What are you waiting for?
