Listen up, because we’re making moves. This isn't just another night out; we are taking the show on the road for a very special edition of Last Words. For the first time ever, we are planting our flag at Bootleggers in Newtown, and we’re breaking the place in the only way we know how: absolutely loudly.Leading the charge is the unstoppable force that is CLAY J GLADSTONE. Fresh off the back of their own massive headline tour, these legends are prepped. dangerous, and ready to tear the fkin roof off. If you caught them on the road, you already know the chaos they bring. If you didn’t, consider this your redemption arc 'cos you're about to find out .
....and you know we aint no one hit wonder. We’ve got the Newcastle grunge heavyweights GRATITUDE kicking the night off in support - this is a legitimate all-star lineup featuring scene veterans and former members of Eat Your Heart Out, Introvert, and Speakeasy.
Once the bands have torn the place up - the best fkin alternative DJ's in Sydney take over. We’re spinning your fave punk, emo & metal tracks until they physically remove us. You know the drill. All bangers, no mercy.
A venue debut, a headliner in peak form, and a support act built from scene royalty? You won’t find a better excuse to get to Newtown this month.
Don't be the one scrolling through the stories on Sunday wishing you'd been there to see it go down. xoxo

Last Words was built on a clear mission: to smash industry gatekeeping, foster community, and create a space where everyone feels safe and welcome. We endeavour to regularly champion local emerging artists, guest DJs, and afterparties for touring bands visiting Sydney.
Taking over the upstairs at Bootleggers brings that raw, intimate energy back to the heart of Newtown. Expect sweat, loud tunes, and the best party in the inner west.
