The sun's clocking out for the day, but inside Brisbane's The Tivoli, the action is just getting started.
Thirty years of service is a monumental milestone for a band and helping send off one of South Australia's most beloved live music venues was a bittersweet way to celebrate Shihad's achievement.
There are a few things in life that are synonymous with being a kiwi; jandals, tomato sauce, pineapple lumps, marmite and Shihad. Even if you aren't a fan you would be hard-pressed to say that you didn't know at least one song.
