The Common Room at The West End will cement itself as a revered live music venue when it presents a sneak peek of the "Live @" music series. Over two weekends in February, Melbourne's newest purpose built live music venue - The Common Room - will amplify the live experience for music lovers, industry and performers.

Rai Thistlethwayte, front man of pop rock band Thirsty Merc, treats guest to an acoustic solo performance. Rai has been praised for his solo act, which often involves playing bass with his left hand on a synthesiser, keyboards with his right hand and singing simultaneously.

"Live @" supports Australian music and proudly presents a world-class stage for punters to experience talent intimately and exclusively. The striking venue is unlike any other in Melbourne and will host big-name bands and acoustic acts to play up close and personal, almost at arms-length.
