Rektango

Rektango This is Rektango. Or, rather, this is a page for what is now known as The Rektango Courtyard. It's a Hobart institution.

Hobart's funkiest and cruisiest start to the end of the week is on every Friday from 6pm to 7:30pm. It's also probably the coolest hour and a half that you'll spend all week. Situated in the historic Salamanca Arts Centre Courtyard in Salamanca, with a rotation of eklectic and groove driven bands entertaining a melting pot of hippies, suits and everything in between, it's not a place you'll only go to once.

Hey folks, the forecast and radar are looking very wet so the Courtyard is cancelled tonight (June 19) I'm afraid. You’ll have to go and do some Mofo-ishy things.

See you next week for the very fun multicultural shenanigans of Balachko Beats !

Hey folks, if anyone left a bag and a jacket at the Courtyard last night (May 29), shoot through a message to be reunited.

Autumn's back it seems...

And so is the soulful groove machine that is Tracksuit.

Come on down tonight, we'll put the hot drinks on !

It seems we're having a short burst of summer before it gets cold again - we'll see how long it lasts.

Here's what the balmy evening and Studley Moore brought us last week, hoping for more of the same this Friday when the Vest Friends hit the stage.

23/04/2026

Well I don't know folks, one week its icy and ready for mulled wine, now this week its 26 degrees and a cold beer seems more appropriate.

One constant at least, is the fabulous fun Studley Moore bring to the Courtyard.

They're back tomorrow !
(April 24)

Not sure the hot drinks will be there, but the funk certainly will !

10/04/2026

Wet, windy and cold is how it’s looking tonight folks, and the radar looks like it’s gonna keep coming through so this evening’s Courtyard (April 10) is cancelled I’m afraid.

Stay warm and we’ll see you next week for The Stitch who are doing a mini tour of Tas.

If it’s cold again next week we’ll bring out the hot drinks and heaters !

This is what was going on at the Courtyard on Good Friday. The Black Swans of Trespass tore it up and much fun was had !

Here's a list of the next few weeks' bands:

Apr 10 - Mangus and Co
Apr 17 - The Stitch
April 24 - Studley Moore
May 1 - The Vest Friends
May 8 - Tracksuit

01/04/2026

Well folks, nobody can afford to drive anywhere for a holiday this Easter, so we're staying put.

Why not join us down at your favourite courtyard this Good Friday with the fabulous Black Swans of Trespass !

As always - free entry, great live music, lovely people and reasonably priced bevs. It'll be the last one before we bid farewell to daylight savings and begin lighting up the cliff face for A/W season.

The next 6 weeks of bands will be up on Tasguide in a jiffy.

Here's another little piece from the wonderful fusion of these 5 amazing musicians.

A huge thanks to Katy, Maelle, Lily, Flora, and of course Emily who also pulled it all together. Collaborations don't get much better than this.
