Gamelan DanAnda X Firetail: ANGLAYANG

The night also features Ready New Gang, playing traditional Gamelan Music of Balinese Wayang Kulit shadow puppetry, expanded with The Living End’s Scott Owen on double-bass and Augie March’s David Williams on drums.

About Quad Club
A revolutionary new live music venue has opened in Melbourne
The Quadraphonic Club draws its name and inspiration from the quadraphonic audio format, a groundbreaking innovation from the 1960s. Known for its multidimensional soundscapes, this format revolutionised the way people listened to music. While quadraphonic systems faded with the rise of digital audio in the 1980s, the Quadraphonic Club brings this immersive experience into the modern era. Equipped with state-of-the-art quadraphonic speaker systems, the venue offers a rich, four-dimensional sound experience unmatched in Melbourne’s live music scene.
The front bar sets the tone with a vintage yet modern aesthetic. A cozy whiskey den and DJ booth greet patrons as they step inside, creating an intimate atmosphere that flows into the venue’s standout feature: a sprawling, 1950s-style dancehall. This main room is designed for live performances that take full advantage of the quadraphonic sound system, immersing audiences in music from every angle.
