When Sailor Jerry approached us with their #supportyourlocalartist live gig series, we were thrilled to get onboard and collaborate to support not only our industry, but the music industry too,” Wijesena said. “The hospitality industry has undoubtedly been hit hard in the last couple of months. The bar’s owner Pasan Wijesena said they were keen to get involved with something that would support a range of struggling sectors.

The series continued on August 19, with The Polish Club (pictured in header) taking the stage at Newtown cocktail bar, Earl’s Juke Joint. The Tattoo Movement’s Deepak Munsami added: “After being gone for so long, we can’t wait to partner and embrace Sailor Jerry’s ‘All-In’ spirit with an amazing live gig in the studio.” “When Sailor Jerry gave us the call and told us they wanted to support the industry, we were super keen to get involved! Then when they asked us if we’d be up for the challenge of getting tattooed while we perform, we thought ‘why the hell not?!’ We appreciate all the support and can’t wait to have a banger night with crew that are into our music.” It sucks we can’t play and hit up live shows in our local venues. The Dead Love described their involvement, and said: “The last couple of months in lockdown have been tough, not just for bands, but for the entire industry. The lucky attendees will also have the opportunity to be inked themselves while they watch and sip on Sailor Jerry premixes.īecause in these uniquely trying times when you’re not allowed to get up and dance, what better way to replace a moshpit than with a tattoo bed? Local punk band The Dead Love will perform live in The Tattoo Movement tattoo parlour, while simultaneously being tattooed with Sailor Jerry flash art.ĬOVID-19 restrictions will be strictly upheld in all events, with limited guests who will remain seated for the performance. ‘Sailor Jerry Sessions’ kicks off August 12, with a one-of-a-kind Australia-first event.

Over the next month, Sailor Jerry will be bringing live music back to Sydney, with a series of free, intimate and COVIDSafe gigs, through partnerships with local bands, bars and tattoo artists. The rum producer brought together and celebrated these sectors pre-pandemic, so when it came to finding ways to support the city now, it made sense to bring them together again. While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone in different ways, some of the hardest hit sectors in Sydney include bars, live music, and tattoos.Ī brand that saw the hardship of these industries through its connection to all three is Sailor Jerry.
