We finally made it to The Basement after 8 years! Fiona arranged a girls night out to see the double bill of Axle Whitehead (of Australian Idol and getting-naughty-bits-out-on-stage-while-drunk-at-award-ceremony-and-getting-the-sack-from-Channel-10-fame) and Brian McFadden (of Westlife and shagging Delta Goodrem fame).
The venue itself is near Circular Quay tucked away and obviously downstairs under ground. We went with the dinner option for some extra cash which also means you get a great table close to the tiny stage and waiter service for drinkies :)
The venue is pretty small considering, I couldn't tell you how many people it holds but it's more like a big bar and couldn't be more than a couple of hundred max which gives it a really intimate feel. The food was good value and tasty for the price, I'd certainly go for that option again.
There was even an acoustic support act who was really good while we waited for the "headliners" to appear. Axle arrived on the ickle stage around 9:30 and performed a pretty lengthy and high energy set before Brian belted out tunes new and old from about 10:30pm. Both the boys, regardless of your opinion of them (probably the same as mine) put on a really enjoyable show and made the most of a great venue.
