Gabba

Ballot closed

Gabba is the solo project of Manila-based musician Gabba Santiago, best known for his work on instrumental rock act Degs and Gabba (formerly Tom’s Story) and indie rock band Fools and Foes. He has also done session work for other Filipino musicians such as Clara Benin and Reese Lansangan.

Transitioning from a band set-up and scaled dynamics to a solitary project, Gabba adopted his mononym to approach and steer a new direction for his artistic vision, one that allows him to explore all elements of music-making without restriction and with a newfound appreciation.

On his solo venture, Gabba recontextualises the merits of isolation, playing with more textures to his signature brisk guitar and drumming styles inspired not just by his music heroes this time, but also harvesting the organic ambience of places he’s been to. The result manifests with the same mettle of handiwork one would expect from his band ventures, if not more individualistic and wholly his.

This performance is part of SXSW Sydney.

Ticketing FAQs

  • All performances at Phoenix Central Park are free.

  • Phoenix Central Park is an intimate performance space and tickets are limited. Due to high demand, tickets will be issued at random to those who have entered each ticket ballot. Each performance has a separate ballot, so if you would like to attend multiple performances, you will need to enter each ballot separately.

    We advise you to listen to the artist you are entering the ballot for, and consider which shows you’d really like to attend. Entering more ballots does not increase your chances of attending.

    Please only enter our ballots with your own details - if we catch you using false details, you won’t have any luck. We reserve the right to cancel any tickets we believe are obtained through false information at any time.

  • If you are successful you will receive an email up to ten days prior to the performance with instructions on how to claim your tickets.

    This offer is only valid for a limited time. Unclaimed tickets may be forfeited. You will have the option of confirming up to two tickets for a performance.

  • No, your tickets will be valid for a specific performance only. If you are unable to attend, please pass the ticket onto a friend or contact us at tickets@phoenixcentralpark.com.au to allow someone else the opportunity to attend.
