Music

Brother and sister multi-instrumentalists joining forces to produce an emotionaly exciting and sometimes, groovy, musical experience.

Tremolo-steeped folk from a local crooner.

Tight, driven, high-flying post-punk. Might be louder than Dinosaur Jr.

Casio-fueled electro from the avant-guard poet in Hawaiian shirt.

Jazzy space jams undercut with alternative RnB.

A tightrope walk betwixt lively alt-rock and emotive slow burners.

Born in lutruwita/Tasmania to Japanese–Australian heritage, エミエミ (emi emi) channels the colour and chaos of modern J-pop through a local lens. Mixing Japanese and English vocals, synths and choreography, her live shows radiate energy and invention.

Airy Americana folk from Utah-born, Tassie-based Raccoon Dog. Tender lyrics and southern warmth, live with full band.

High-octane alt-rock from Tasmania. Raw riffs, gritty energy and the spirit of the ‘90s. PowderKeg bring the noise.

Guitar and vocals that vary from intimate to expansive, coloured with flecks of psychedelic folk, alt-country, and art pop.

Japanese-born bluegrass banjo-er Montz teams up with North Carolinian Ross for acoustic blues and bluegrass (with Celtic and Japanese flavour).

Louise O’Reilly’s Feeding Fauna merges Berlin cool with Icelandic chill—restless synth-pop that hums with ache and atmosphere. The Headland, her first album since 2017, marks a return to form and force.

Solo ambient flamenco with contemporary kinks and experimental detours.

From his home studio in Sorell to stages across Australia, Koh-Dee shapes textured worlds of indie-electronica, lo-fi hip-hop and trap. A producer, rapper and sound designer whose work bridges the digital and the visceral.

A folk-punk outfit from Meanjin/Brisbane, blending traditional bush poetry and acoustic punk to tell stories that swing between the jovial and the heartfelt. A rowdy, poetic take on the Australian condition.

Folk-rock full of feeling—sometimes tender, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, but always catchy. Hailing from Meanjin/Brisbane, their songs hum with queer joy, heartbreak and self-awareness.

Country-folk melancholy courtesy of Amy Kerr, plus Doug Kerr’s bass, harmonies, and extremely serious songs about fish; Martin Taylor drums it all into place.

Naarm-based duo David Craven (drums) and Jon S Williams (guitar) have spent sixteen years exploring composition and improvisation through an ally-friendly lens. Their instrumental work folds folk, rock, punk and noise into a distinctly jazz-inflected exchange.

Left-of-centre folk rock with specks of darkness and light.

Maverick, whimsical and anchored tight, 8Foot Felix sail between gypsy, ska and funk roots, spiced with sea-shanty salt and splashes of hip-hop and blues. A magical brand of dancing music built for joy and chaos alike.

A blend of Japanese ambient, jazz-funk, city-pop, space-funk and Brazilian boogie. Expect nostalgia for eras you (likely) never lived through.
