Today we’re looking back on the first ever gig of Australian instro surf/psych band The Break. Consisting of Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie & Martin Rotsey (Midnight Oil) and Brian Richie (Violent Femmes).

The gig was at Notes in Newtown, a great Sydney venue that sadly shut its doors a couple of years back. Photos by Mandy Hall.
