With our beloved pubs, clubs and live music venues being forced to close during this strange and uncertain period, we’re forced to adjust to a new reality of life in iso.

While life has no doubt served us a METRIC tonne of lemons, the music community are making lemonade and taking their gigs online with live streams and virtual concerts. Following the lead of some of the world’s biggest artists and labels including Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie), Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Jack White’s record label Third Man Records, local Aussie musos are coming together online with free live performances, Q&A’s and Iso-concerts.

Thank god for technology, amiright?

So crack a frosty quarantinnie, get your mates on Google Hangout and tuck in to this week’s Iso-gig Guide.
