“The Small Bar That Could” and “Sydney’s version of CBGB”. They’re two of the names for MoshPit, the dive bar on King Street in the suburb of St Peters that’s been a spawning ground for countless up and coming bands - and a home for some not so young.
The venue is notching its ninth birthday in May and is holding a three-day event to mark the occasion.
“None of us know which birthday will be our last so we're going all out with bands all weekend - Friday night, all day Saturday, and Sunday arvo,” said mine host Pat Jones (pictured above).
“It's free entry all weekend and we're pricing our three most popular beers at our opening 2017 prices all weekend.
“We've got a mighty fine line up that we're very excited about, and we're incredibly grateful to all the bands that have agreed to take part.”
