March 23rd 2013
Credits will roll for the final weekend. March 23rd will focus on underground legends the Ooga Boogas who will be launching their new album with supports from Woolen Kits and intermission music from Justin Fuller. It’s been way too long between drinks, albums and gigs for the Oogas so this gig will be huge. Get down early.
All gigs are free entry and bands play between 2pm and 6pm in the Shadow Electric’s indoor bar area, where you can also enjoy a refreshing beverage or seven.
The Shadow Electric Open-Air Cinema and Bar is located at The Abbotsford Convent, 1 St Helier’s St, Abbotsford.
