Kindred Bandroom

Kindred Bandroom is a live music venue within Kindred Studios, a larger creative hub in Melbourne’s inner west. The space is designed around working artists, with facilities that include band rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, a bandroom, bar, cafe and function space available for hire.

The venue’s programme is presented through Kindred’s What’s On listings, with event updates available for visitors who want to keep track of what is coming up. Beyond live music, the wider site supports photographers, designers, dancers, actors, artists and other creative practitioners through studios, co-working areas and production spaces.

Kindred was first established in 2005 and remains privately owned and operated by artists. That background gives the venue a clear connection to Melbourne’s creative community, rather than presenting as a standalone entertainment room. It has also received recognition including a Maribyrnong City Council Civic Award for Arts Organisation in 2019.

The bandroom suits people looking for live events, as well as groups needing a music, function or creative space. Kindred states that its facilities are wheelchair accessible, with step-free access to ground-floor rooms and an elevator to level one. The bandroom reception operates into the evening on weekdays and from midday on weekends, with exact event times best checked through the current listings.
