Rad Bar was a music venue in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It opened in 2013 and played a crucial role in the development of young musicians and bands from the region, including Hockey Dad. At the time, it was Wollongong's only dedicated live music venue of its size, and was considered iconic in the local scene. The venue was closed in August 2019, when its building was demolished to make way for a multi-storey office block.

History

[edit]

Wollongong live music company Yours and Owls were the previous owners of the site, which was a live music coffee shop. It was sold to drummer and venue manager Daniel Radburn in 2013, who renamed the site to Rad Bar. Radburn said that "It would be too much of a loss to lose this place. I've loved it since it's been open, and being a musician myself, I wanted to keep it going ." https://archive.md/Wf5Ed#selection-2501.1-2501.142

previously owned the space that would later become Rad Bar.

The venue had a maximum capacity of about 80 people, making for an intimate live music setting.[1]

Rad Bar's final trading night was 16 August 2019, with Sydney band Dear Seattle headlining.[2]

Domestic La La is an Australian record label founded in 2017 by Violent Soho guitarist James Tidswell. It is a subsidiary of Unified Music Group, headquartered in Brisbane. Prominent artists include Dear Seattle, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Teenage Joans and West Thebarton.

History

[edit]

Named after a Violent Soho song, Domestic La La was founded in 2017 by the band's guitarist James Tidswell. The label is managed under Unified Music Group.[3] Its first two signings were Adelaide rock band West Thebarton and Sydney grunge group Dear Seattle.[4] Tidswell said managing his own imprint had been a life-long dream and that his approach was to "allow bands to be on a label with someone who is sympathising with the artist themselves".[5]

Record club

[edit]

The label has released ten seven-inch singles through their own subscription service, Domestic La La Record Club. Each issue features two tracks from different groups, with the first featuring "Ivan" by West Thebarton's backed with "Dark Shadows" by Stork.[6]

In early 2023, Spacey Jane frontman Caleb Harper relocated to Los Angeles for recording and writing sessions that would inform their third album. He said to NME that the band would be more deliberate in finding time for writing the project, and that they would "try and ease into it a little more" than they did for their prior album, Here Comes Everybody (2022).[12]

In late 2023, Spacey Jane headlined several Australian festivals along the east coast, including Grapevine Gathering,[13] Rolling Sets (Central Coast),[14] and Changing Tides (Kiama).[15]
