- The Station opening weekend
- Temper Trap, Betty Taylor
The Station’s Opening Weekend with see massive Aussie act Temper Trap kick off celebrations on Friday night with local four-piece, girl band Betty Taylor.
Betty Taylor bassist Claire Chittick (main photo) said she was pumped to be supporting such a big name act, and helping celebrate the opening of the Sunshine Coast’s newest live music venue.
“It feels so exciting to be a part of the grand opening of The Station, and have the opportunity to get up there and play, then watch the Temper Trap afterwards,” she said.
“I’m keen to see how the stage set-up is similar to when it was the Nightquarter, ’cause the shows I’ve been to there have always felt so massive.
“I have so many friends and family coming to the show, including the girls I teach piano to and some other friends’ kids.
“It’s sick to have a music venue on the Coast that can provide such a great space for all-ages shows, and for shows with a larger capacity.
“It’s also exciting to have a place on the Coast where we can enjoy all the different local craft beers in one place.”
Cheers to that!
