Like many music fans, I’ve long felt that the iconic Sydney venue Selina’s has often been on the brink of using up all nine of its lives. This month’s confirmation that the redevelopment plans had finally been approved, without the band room playing any part in the future, was sadly its last gasp of breath. Selina’s has never been a perfect venue. If you weren’t in the front half of the room, you battled to see past walls and mixing desks.

The Funhouse winds it back to 2013!It was the year Breaking Bad ended and House of Cards started; the year the Harlem Shake, twerking and Flappy Bird obsessed us all; and the year 'Blurred Lines' created so much controversy. It was also the year Arctic Monkeys dominated with AM; when we heard Lorde for the first time; and when Daft Punk created their final masterpiece with Random Access Memories. So join Richard and take a trip back exactly a decade to hear what else we binged that year...
