Max Watts

cbd →
125 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

max watts keeps the calendar full, with gigs running several nights a week and thursdays through saturdays carrying the heaviest load. expect a proper mixed bag - covers and party sets rubbing up against rock, heavy stuff, pop and the odd experimental bill - with a handful of familiar names cycling back through. it's usually a door charge rather than a free night, but that's the trade-off for a room that never really slows down.
