Ups and Downs: Staying home for now.
Tropical Cyclone Alfred is bearing down on the Australian coast and is already wreacking havoc on this weekend’s gigs in South-East Queensland. Today, it took down one in Sydney.
The sold-out Ups and Downs show with a reformed Crystal Set at Marrickville Bowling Club has been postponed as most members of the headliners are unable to leave Queensland for reasons that are too obvious. The band posted on Facebook:
Friends, it is with great regret that we have decided to postpone this Saturday's sold-out show at the Marrickville Bowling Club with the Crystal Set. Those of us who live in and around Brisbane need to stay close to home with family and friends as Cyclone Alfred approaches. The new date for the show is Thursday 10 April - all tickets remain valid, with refunds available if you cannot attend. Our huge apologies for all inconvenience this has caused!
Crystal Set’s shows at Smiths Alternative in Canberra on Friday and The Chippo in Sydney’s Chippendale from 5pm on Sunday are going ahead.
