It’ll be a homecoming of sorts for Love of Diagrams this weekend.
Two-thirds of the band – drummer Monika Fikerle and bass player Antonia Sellbach – hail from Tassie, and they’ll be returning to the Apple Isle for the Broken Social Thylascene mini-fest in Hobart this Saturday (August 20).
Inspired by last year’s Hobart + Music=Yeah (read a full report of it here), the event will be held across two stages at the Grand Poobah to coincide with the Amplified music conference (although it’s not technically affiliated). Other acts performing include Ivy St, Tiger Choir, The Native Cats, Anthony Rochester and the Tasmanian Beat Ensemble, Manchester Mourning, Charles Du Cane and Carl Higgs.
Co-organiser Sam Nicholson from Tiger Choir said he wanted to “celebrate a bunch of Tasmanian based-bands and also bring back down relocated Tas bands”. Doors at 7pm. Cost $10.

Congratulations for topping 'What I like About Jew'' for the worst event name in history
i'm with you goal attack that name is severely poor.
Apple Isle.
Bah, i think the name's meant to be daggy more than anything.
Apart from LOD, that's a pretty sweet line up.
Jesus fucking Chris.

no striborg?
The name is clever, seeing as though the line-up features local bands and those that hail from Tas but have had to move elsewhere or suffer extinction. Nor is it too precious to take itself seriously. If more Australian events/acts took this approach, our music wouldn't be leading the rest of the world in the race to the middle. As for the above comments, congratulations on proving yet again exactly what threatens originality and creativity. Skinny jeans restrict the blood flow to your balls.

I love a good dad joke.
I laughed.
Tonight!
