An incredibly meta free gig is going down this Friday with Poolroom. playing a free show at Pool Club this Friday. From 7 pm you can dance your heartbreak away to the ebullient and playful soundtrack of Poolroom.

Merivale is hosting a bunch of excellent free gigs over the next few months to encourage Sydneysiders to embrace the vibrancy of this city. The hospitality heroes are hosting a programme of free live music, laneway pop-ups, late-night bites and exciting initiatives throughout the CBD. Check out a bunch of delicious gigs that they’ll be hosting this month that’ll help make our summer forever dreams a reality.

Last month, Poolroom. dropped an absolutely delicious slice of dance-pop heaven with single ‘Tangerine’, set to feature on his forthcoming EP mood~ring. The joyous little ditty is the perfect track to sweat out the woes of the working week to.

“For me, ‘Tangerine’ is the colour I associate with immense gratitude for my friends. I made this just after getting a coffee with one of my closest,” Poolroom. explains. “I was going through a pretty tough time & they cheered me up so much that I ran home afterwards & wrote the song. It’s a huge ‘thank you’. My friends make me boogie and smile so it made sense to capture that.” Listen to the track below.

We’re certain that the Poolroom.
