The Jade Monkey is dead.

Long live The Jade.

It’s been a long, painful 12 months seeing the mind-numbing, senseless arguments and hurdles the Jade Monkey crew have had to deal with, but seeing the new venue it all seems worth it.

While play / pause / play has been pretty quiet blog-wise, podcast-wise and #PPPParty-wise in 2013, we’ve been doing heaps of work behind the scenes. It’s actually been a pretty huge year for us. But you’ll hear about all that soon enough.

Tonight, we party.

Our favourite Victorian band, The Stiffys, are visiting to tell us about boner triggers and high fives and kick flips and generally how to just have a really nice time.

Our favourite miscreants, Central Deli Band, play one last show for us before Matt Hayward moves overseas.

Our favourite local pop funtime band, 20th Century Graduates, reunite for one night only.

Our favourite solo melancholy disco act, FIRS, joins us to kick off the festivities.

Grab you tickets now from our ticketing page and score free tunes from each act.

Come along and celebrate the year that has been and excitedly discuss the year ahead.
