Ira Calder believes that a great live gig depends as much on the room's acoustics and human warmth as the band on stage. Between evening mixing shifts on Beaufort Street and afternoon cable maintenance, he stops by Bossman Coffee for a flat white or grabs a late burger at Bad Love. His account provides unvarnished venue sound notes, gig recommendations, and honest guides to Perth's grassroots live music spaces.
