Music

Fingerstyle guitar. Pluck yeah.

Funky-ass jazz-pop with electric keys, horn section and sprinkles of gospel and Motown. They also 'go cosmic' on occasion

Old and new sounds of Latin America. Boleros, cumbias, bossa, and more.

Luke does a bit of everything. Got a background in jazz and electronic production; loves melody and texture.

Who cares what they sound like, they've got a great name. (But they do subtle grooves, high energy originals, and modern arrangements of jazz standards.)

Local (ex-Brisbane) rockers who believe people go to see bands to have a good time: 'no bummers, only hummers'.

A pair of improvisers 'driving musical trains headfirst across multiple genres'. Guitar and keys bent into hypnotic mantras influenced by experimental, post-rock, jazz, doom, rock and classical.

DJ with a unique ear and a passion for diverse sounds—Detroit hip-hop, Nigerian funk, classic soul, future beat, etc., etc.

Aphex meets pop, plus noise. 'Intelligible pop songs that are more primeval than poetic'.

JP leads a jazz-posse (pozze?) with his elite guitar skills.

A psychedelic, cinematic fusion of post-punk and new wave. All the good stuff.

TSO-electronica meets processed world music, via Luke's mandolin.

An exciting new local crew 'exploring the realm of chordless jazz performance'.

Fully improvised one-song-per-set chamber jazz. No holds barred. Possible guest artists.

A Tasmanian experimental flute duo improvising and exploring the works of twentieth century composers like Laing, Kaneko, Takemitsu and Flynn (all of whom we're intimately familiar with, of course).

Track & Field is a DJ who quotes Paula Abdul in her bio—'opposites attract'. So expect pleasing blends of old school, new school, dance, electro-house, chill and danceable.

Critically acclaimed DIY-folk from Cedar Creek, Queensland—which sounds like a really good place to make folk music. JB will be joined by Rebecca on banjo.

Synth dirges wrapped around cut-up samples, spiced with the occasional 'beat frenzy'. Possible kazoo solos; guitar drone.

Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hans Zimmer go out clubbing, with Jerry Goldsmith as their designated driver. Electric Chapman stick and drums plus bassoon, bass clarinet and cello.

Guitar, bass, drums. Original jams.

Dark / light folk tales from the heart, via voice and a very old violin.

Unique, whimsical music from the Blue Mountains—songs about home, the Nepean River, and the local netball courts, among other things.

Bär McKinnon (of Mr Bungle) and his band do shape-shifting stuff, from stadium-rock to small-orchestra-style compositions.

Formerly Tokyo-based salaryman turned pianist blending chamber pop and one-man-band energy. Has garnered 'equal parts derision and gleeful buzz' across Australia over the last year.

A jazz-cat called Linzee is joined by Steve and Ben. Cosy, nice and groovy.
