Brisbane music’s best say Farewell to Joc for The Zoo’s handover party
Joc Curran is handing over the keys to one of Brisbane’s most beloved music venues, but is being sent off in style with two massive parties.
As we reported in our Pavement Whispers a little while back, Joc Curran is selling The Zoo after 23.5 years of making it one of the best spots to see live music in Brisbane. Entrepreneur Pixie Weyand is taking over ownership duties, and to celebrate, Brisbane musicians will be performing two shows on June 24 and 25. The show on Saturday June 25 has already sold out, but Farewell to Joc from the Last Five Years on Friday June 24 is still on sale to the public and will see some of Joc’s favourite bands from recent years perform and celebrate the passing of the torch.
The night will see the likes of new age crooner Jeremy Neale, indie-rock powerhouse Babaganouj, punk tour de force WAAX and alternative rock foursome Born Joy Dead perform sets of tunes to rabid punters. Tickets are available now, with a portion of proceeds from sales being donated to providing care packs for Brisbane’s homeless. Come out and show your thanks for the tireless work of one of Brisbane’s live music legends.
