CATCH TWO TRIPLE J FAVOURITES + DISCOVER THE NAKED TRUTH

This month we invite you to funk it up! Triple J Unearthed band Kingfisha will perform their melange of sun-soaked reggae tunes and fresh dub beats, while Golden Sound (who recently supported Sydney Festival hit Reggie Watts) will play their James Brown-inspired feel-good soul. There's plenty more on offer, including the highly anticipated black comedy Often I Find That I Am Naked by Fiona Sprott, as well as the new Judy Breaks and free Shopfront Jazz gigs. Plus, we're calling all inventors! If you've got an invention or project idea we want to hear about it. The most exciting projects will be showcased at the Invention Lounge in September. Applications close soon so read on for all the details!
