SUNDAY

TAINE JOSO – Solbar – w/ Daisy & the White Jacket, Velvet Radio and Nana’s Pie – Formed in 2018 by front man Taine Josephson, drummer Daniel Trochei, lead guitarist Alex Wilton, and bassist Chris Allen, TAINE JOSO have made their talent for songwriting undeniable as the group expresses a vast array of musical influences in their compositions including Jeff Buckley, Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, TOOL, Soundgarden and D’angelo. 

DAISY & THE WHITE JACKET play songs of sensitive self-reflection and social commentary ranging from upbeat tunes that’ll urge you to do anything but stand still, to sombre ballads that will leave you knowing in times of darkness you truly are not alone, Daisy & The White Jacket (‘Daisy’ for short) well and truly offer up a pallet of colour that’ll make you want to break out that alter ego as well as soothe the soul. The fellas take a lot of inspiration from Aussie big guns Holy Holy, Matt Corby & Powderfinger just to name a few as well as international favourites Arctic Monkeys & Queens of The Stone Age again… just to name a few. 

VELVET RADIO sunshine coast four piece, playing smooth rock. MILO HUNTER is a solo music project built around a DIY aesthetic with the bizarre and beautiful at the base. With a handful of experimental single releases at the end of 2018, “Zam-Zammah”, his debut EP (April 2019), showcased Milo Hunter’s unique “weirdo” take on pop
song writing. “Lux Flakes”, his follow up EP was released later that same year with bloggers drawing eclectic comparisons between the War on Drugs and Daniel Johnston. The live birth of his bedroom project happened in early 2020, seeing a six-piece band delicately comb through an already impressive array of songs with maturity and dynamic precision. What Milo Hunter delivers as an artist is something fresh, a dip in the fountain of youth and fish slap to the face.

VAUDEVILLE SMASH
Made up of three brothers and two mates, no other Australian band sounds like them. An explosion of funk, flute, sax, synth and groove, the dance floor is packed at a Vaudeville Smash gig, the crowd goes wild.
“I’ll be damned if Vaudeville Smash aren’t the most mind-blowingly refreshing live act to emerge from Melbourne since God knows when.” – Beat Magazine
Melbourne’s Vaudeville Smash have carved their own niche, building a formidable following in Australia and around the world. Their national and international adventures have seen them tour Japan and the Sapporo Jazz Festival, grace stages in New York, South by South West in Austin, Singapore, Toronto, Spain, Italy, as well as numerous Australian festivals, including Woodford Folk Fest, Secret Garden, St Kilda Music Fest (Main Stage), Blues On Broadbeach & Bello Winter Music to name a few.
Vaudeville Smash continue their ongoing musical evolution, teaming up with Nashville’s Grammy Award winning producer, Bobby Holland, to record their third studio album, set for release early 2021.
 
MAPSTONE
Combining voice, didgeridoo, bass, percussion, guitar and hammond organ, Mapstone infuse the dancefloor with an uplifting and enticing sound. The lyrics and music are powerful and take the listeners and dancers on a deep journey; some say transformative; some say awakening. Their music is from the heart, for the heart and of the heart. You’re going to LOVE this 5-piece powerhouse band. Steeped in conscious lyrics, thoughtful grooves and an energy that is simply captivating.
 
SKY EATER
Hailing from the Byron Bay Hinterland, Sky Eater is the daring ‘mermaid trip-hop dub’ story of two multi-instrumental musical warriors: sax-wielding Chelsea Skyeater, armed with honey vocals, powerful lyrics, lush flute and keys – and dub soldier TK Bassdread with his artillery of beastly bass, beats, vocals and live dubs. The icing on this reggae cake is an additional full femme horn section who add their lush vocal harmonies and killer dance moves. They’ve released two EPs, two Singles and have an album currently in the works, have toured extensively in Australia and NZ and are often noted as one of the hardest working acts in the Byron Shire. Sky Eater are not to be missed!
DJ ROLAND WEST
Will be keeping the garden pumping with a rad set of unexpected tunes and infectious sounds.
