The Gem Bar

06/09/2026

This Sunday from 3.30pm catch Yours, Georgina and her band at The Gem for an afternoon of rich and tender songwriting and storytelling. With support from Jarryn Phegan.

Yours, Georgina is the artist project of Naarm-based musician, Georgie Currie. She draws her name from the gut-punching honesty of her cursive songwriting and the rare and arresting strength of her voice.

When joined by her band Yours, Georgina’s sound evolves from bedroom-folk to a punctuated and brooding cinematic rock. This show comes fresh off the heels of two new singles for Yours, Georgina in 2026, ‘Keepers’: a release infused with twang and longing for home, and ‘Dazzling’: a gentle, shimmering ballad about the words left unsaid.

Punk, grunge and metal outlaws GHAZZA are leaving the insular Northern Beaches of Sydney this September and storming into The Gem this Friday night on their NO F**KING AROUND TOUR.

Named after their old PE teacher, Garry "GHAZZA" Theodore, these four 19-year-old best mates write, produce and record everything themselves — and their liveshows have the roof shaking.

The band rose to a cult following after dropping the satirical punk anthem "DIRODI," a piss-take on the e-bike culture taking over their neighbourhood, which quickly became a certified hit. Since then, they've picked up some epic supports with such bands as C.O.F.F.I.N and The Bennies.

Now GHAZZA are bringing that same roof-shaking energy south — no fu***ng around, no apologies made.

Support from COOLDAD.
