THE SHUT UP AND LISTEN CLUB – No. 10

Sat 7 Nov 2pm - 5pm

Wax Music Lounge, Melbourne

Arrive early. Grab a drink. Talk to a stranger. Shut up. Listen.

Know that feeling when you sit in front of a piece of art in a gallery? How you notice something new in the work, or see something else in yourself?

That's what the Shut Up and Listen Club is about. A communal bench where we listen to an album with no phones and no talking.

Each month a secret album is presented. Picked purely for its artistic ambition and weight. You might know every word, or you might never have heard a single note. Trust the process.

ABOUT NOVEMBER'S SECRET SELECTION

A raw masterwork built on real voice recordings, spoken-word poetry, and euphoric rave energy. Written through profound grief, friendship, and working-class youth, it is a crushing piece of work that demands presence.
