Last night, over 400 of Sydney’s arts, cultural, and music underground elite came together at the Sydney Opera House to celebrate FBi Radio and Time Out’s inaugural SMAC AWARDS – Sydney’s very own cultural awards to recognise this city’s brilliant, diverse, and energetic cultural community.
Under The Marquee overlooking the harbour, an eclectic gathering of inner city artists, rockers, musicians and performers drank champagne as The Chaser’s Chris Taylor handed awards to those ‘people who make Sydney the vibrant, exciting cultural capital that Melbourne insists we’re not’
