What’s On at Kiss My Brass
At Kiss My Brass, we don’t just host events — we cultivate experiences. Nestled in the heart of Marrickville and just 200 metres from the Metro, our venue is alive day and night with creative energy, killer sound, and a rotating calendar of performances, exhibitions, and open mic magic.
Whether you’re a music lover, a curious wanderer, or an artist ready to take the stage, there’s always something happening at Kiss My Brass. Here’s a look at what’s on.
Live Music Nights at Kiss My Brass
There’s nothing like the buzz of a live gig in an intimate room — and we’ve built our venue to be just that. Every week, we welcome local legends, rising stars, and touring acts to take over our back-room stage. The vibe is gritty, raw, and unforgettable — the kind of night where the audience and artist feed off each other’s energy.
We’re all about curated chaos. Expect everything from stripped-back singer-songwriters to energetic indie bands, underground rock sets, and the occasional genre surprise. Our live music nights are never cookie-cutter — we’re committed to showcasing diversity in sound, story, and stage presence.
Some shows are free entry, while others are ticketed events, especially for larger or special acts. Check our weekly lineup or follow us on socials to catch your next favourite artist before they blow up.
Live Music Nights at Kiss My Brass
Who says the party starts after dark? At Kiss My Brass, we’re reclaiming the daytime with a calendar of chilled-out acoustic sessions, artist showcases, and collaborative community events.
Think midday melodies over toasties and coffee. Picture a Saturday with a local folk duo playing softly while you sip something cold or browse a pop-up art show in the front room. These daytime gigs are designed for easy listening, spontaneous connection, and creative inspiration — perfect for Marrickville’s laid-back weekend scene.
Day sessions are usually free entry and walk-in friendly, and the vibe is casual. Just grab a seat, enjoy the music, and maybe meet someone who’ll become your next creative collaborator.
Whether it’s a solo loop artist, a jazz brunch set, or an experimental guitar piece echoing off the brick walls, these sessions offer low-key magic you won’t find anywhere else in the Inner West.

Open Mic Nights – A Platform for Local Talent
Everyone starts somewhere — and we’re proud to provide the stage. Our Open Mic Nights are a cornerstone of what we do at Kiss My Brass. Held regularly throughout the month, these evenings are open to musicians, poets, spoken word artists, comedians, and performers of all stripes.
Got something to share? Sign up and step into the spotlight. Our room is small enough to feel intimate but large enough to give you real performance experience. We welcome first-timers and seasoned pros alike, with a supportive crowd and no judgment — just appreciation.
You don’t need to pre-register (though it helps!), and you’ll often find industry folk, collaborators, and music lovers in the crowd. Some of our favourite local acts got their start at one of these very nights — and we’re always on the lookout for the next standout performer.
Each open mic night has a unique theme or twist — from folk focus to genre mashups or “no covers” challenges — so check the calendar and bring your A-game.
More Than Just Music
While sound is at the heart of what we do, Kiss My Brass is also a home for visual art pop-ups, concept shows, creative workshops, and spontaneous performances. From upstairs rehearsals to full-blown immersive events, our venue thrives on creative unpredictability.
If you’re looking to attend something different — or even host your own — reach out to us or keep an eye on the ‘What’s On’ calendar. You never know what might be around the corner: a vinyl launch, a poetry slam, a one-night-only art installation, or an unannounced guest artist doing a surprise set.
