Building on their renowned live music program in the Bandroom, Kindred Studios is launching a new live music series this summer and autumn (every Saturday afternoon 1 February to 5 April) on their newly renovated outdoor deck and beer garden.
The outdoor deck and beer garden is in the front of Kindred Studios and when live music is performed makes for a great setting.

At only a three minute drive from the Yarraville shops Kindred Studios and the Bassnote Cafe makes for a perfect place to either have a bite to eat or take in the live music and have a beer or two.

From 1 February to 5 April every Saturday afternoon local and emerging talent will be plugging in and performing live and FREE for your enjoyment. Everyone is welcome!

Bassnote Cafe is perfect to get your caffeine fix while you are here with brunch fare such as chilli scrambled eggs, smashed avo with feta, a huge range of paninia, burgers, toasties, veg and vegan options and old faithfuls such as nachos, fies, muffins, falafel, souvlaki, roast pork and gravy rolls.

While perhaps not gourmet everything is made up for with very fair pricing and they also have a kids menu for the little ones.

The Kindred Studios has a cool vibe going and it was nice noticing people enjoying themselves and just chilling out.

Location
Kindred Studios: is located at 3 Harris St, Yarraville VIC 3013.
In A Nutshell
Kindred Studios makes for a great setting to chill out, catch some live music, get your caffeine fix or have a beer, cocktail or glass of wine. Slightly off the beaten track it's definitely worth a pitstop if they have live music on offer.
At just 3 minutes drive away from the Yarraville shops it's also a great spot if you are getting just a little too familiar with your local spots.

If you are a music lover it's also great to support local and emerging musicians and it's always nice having a music spot close to home.
