The Shifters Do Their Usual Punk Thing At The Pinnacle

The Fitzroy Pinnacle is a peculiar venue. Like a miniature Melbourne version of Manhattan’s iconic Flatiron Building, it’s narrowness begets a stereotypical gig experience. So it was that The Shifters put on this free performance on Friday night squeezed into the stage space, facing an audience entirely sitting down. The occasion felt more befitting of a stand up comedy night or a piano lounge bar - essentially anything but a raucous concert.
