FREE ENTRY | $20 CHICKEN & EGGPLANT PARMAS | $10 PINTS OF MOUNTAIN GOAT Kick those Monday blues to the curb at Social Sanctuary – your weekly night of free live music at NSC. We've lined up a stellar roster of your fave local artists and some exciting new talents breezing through town! This week Munroe are stopping by for a special EP launch show, with Norwood and Grace De Vos. Munroe blend jangly, coming-of-age alternative rock with brooding, reflective ballads. Known for their emotionally charged performances and endearingly awkward stage banter (emphasis on awkward), Munroe invites audiences into a space that feels both personal and unpredictable. The Naarm-based, four-piece outfit, are excited to be celebrating the release of their new EP, ‘Said And Done’, out September 10th. Grace de Vos is a Melbourne/Naarm based songwriter. Rooted in folk but not confined by it, her music leans confidently into indie, rock, and pop influences. Grace writes songs that hold space for the unsaid. Whether she's reflecting on conflict, self reckoning or the messiness of human relationships, her lyrics speak from the kind of perspective that only comes with distance, honesty, and time, the result is emotional truth without apology. On stage, Grace brings a quiet intensity: open, vulnerable, and deliberate. Norwood is the project of Naarm/Melbourne based singer-songwriters Olivia Bolmat and Nathaniel Peacock. Formed through a shared admiration of upfront lyricism and inseparable harmonies, the pair have always aimed to create songs that find weight in their unassuming tenderness. The band fuses Americana inspiration with the alt-folk sounds of their home city and weaves their way through past conversations and memories; songs of old weatherboard share houses, suburban floods, failed networking events and late night curbside consultations. Social Sanctuary is proud to be sponsored by Mountain Goat. Our show is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of this land we are gathered on. We also pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities that may join us for our show.
