Dark synthwave leader Carpenter Brut will kick off 2027 by finally bringing his critically acclaimed and visually stunning full live show to Australia! Having spent the last decade dominating the European festival circuit and scoring numerous video game soundtracks with metal and horror inspired synth bangers, last year saw Carpenter Brut’s powers reach a new zenith in the form of a third full-length album - the cinematic and thrilling Leather Temple. Three headline shows in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne will precede an appearance at Froth & Fury Festival in Adelaide, with fellow French national and likeminded synth producer SIERRA VEINS joining on all shows.
170 Russell is a large live music venue and nightclub, depending on the day and event. The venue opened as Lido Theatre in 1965 and showcased some of the largest live music acts in Melbourne. In 1980, 170 Russell began operating as Billboard Nightclub, and is colloquially referred to as Billboards. The Billboard brand still operates on a Saturday at 170 Russell, as well as, associative company Lucky Entertainment that runs the Lucky Thursdays.
170 Russell is deceptively huge, given the view from the street. You walk down stairs and into a large slightly tiered space, with a stage at the front. The main dance floor space is wider than it is long, but the venue is also long with space leading up around and past the bar. The smoker's area is to the left of the stage, going upstairs on to ground level next to an alleyway lined the local apartment and business big rubbish bins.
One of the great aspects of the venue is the side room to the right of the stage area, called the 'Bunker'. This area is most often used during Lucky Thursdays and Billboard Saturdays as an electronic music room. On your way to the 'bunker', is an area filled with couches.
The music offerings at 170 Russell vary depending on the night of the week and event/show that's on. when the venue operates a live music venue, they host a range of well-known international artists, that consistent sell out. However, on a Thursday and Saturday, the music centres around party anthems and commercial pop music, whilst dabbling in EDM and other pop sub-genres.
