Citizen Sex Get Naked For North Melbourne

The beauty of the Melbourne music scene is that you never know when or where a random band will just set-up and stage an awesome guerrilla gig! I've literally seen countless bands in lounge rooms and kitchens across the sprawls of hipster house parties and it's always fun, but never too surprising. This weekend I was sincerely impressed with a new band with no boundaries, raw energy and a taste for illegal afternoon gigs. Citizen Sex have busted onto the scene with an array of shocking and sometimes half naked gigs across the city and Saturday was no different. The North Melbourne lads sent out an event invite to meet at the Town Hall pub on Errol Street where we would then be directed to an abandoned house for a semi-secret performance.
With the power borrowed from the lovely new record store in town Wooly Bully, Citizen Sex set up in an old hollowed out and graffitied terrace ready to rock.
With about 30 participants in tow, front man Robbie and co. exploded into a charismatic set of what I feel was the most legit garage punk-rock episode I've seen in some time. Think The Hives meets The Stooges but not without the shirtless antics of Iggy. Citizen Sex's songs were energetic and catchy as hell, there seems to be some definite millage here. The set closed with an impromptu version of Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' which was not lost on an eager crowd who joined in -- who knew we all still remembered the lyrics?
So that's what I did last Saturday afternoon and what you should definitely do soon!
