Inner West’s living music organism, Lazy Thinking, will return. In this issue of CULT. CIRCUIT, Joseph shares his clinical one-on-one with CEO Jim Flanagan on the mechanisms behind Sydney’s independent music scene.

Culture Editor Joseph’s curated Over The Underground follow-up. Detailing the experience at a local gig, exploring what the Sydney music scene looks, feels and sounds like right now.

Some records become part of your routine. Others change the way you listen forever. The Gateway EPs are a personal collection of five Australian bands whose music opened the door to Sydney’s thriving live scene and still soundtracks everyday life.

Sydney’s independent live music scene isn’t hidden beneath the surface. It’s happening in pubs, galleries, parks and community spaces across the city. CULT. CIRCUIT #002 explores the people, places and moments that make the underground feel anything but underground.
