    Local events and culture
    Live music

    Newtown has traditionally been a hub for live entertainment. Throughout the 1990s it was particularly known as a centre for indie rock, with the suburb both home to many musicians and several live venues. In the late nineties it boasted a handful of venues: Goldmans / Newtown RSL, The Globe, Feedback and The Sandringham -- all of which had closed by the late 1990s due to noise complaints or other factors. However since the new millennium, the suburb has enjoyed a renaissance with the return of live music to The Sandringham (dubbed by regulars as "The Sando"), the re-opening of the former Newtown RSL (now taken over by Petersham RSL Club) under the name of @Newtown, the opening of the intimate venue The Vanguard, and the continuing popularity of the lyric-sized Enmore Theatre. The film Garage Days directed by Alex Proyas was based on a fictional indie rock band located in Newtown. The ABC television drama, Love Is A Four Letter Word, starring musician-actor Peter Fenton and featuring live bands each episode, was mainly shot at the Courthouse Hotel in Australia Street.
