Food & Folk at BASE Social Centre
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"PWYC! Rebel tunes + tasty vegan food from the good comrades at BASE Anarchist Social Centre! Fuel yourselves with politically-charged punky folk and folky punk from picket line finger-picker Cosmo, warbling fairytale balladeer Molly Samson, Squirrel Monologues’ continental dissent anthems + more."
