Monnone Alone pay a visit to Major Tom's in Kyneton to help launch their fourth album Here Comes the Afternoon on Sunday, May 18 with special guests, indie legends The Steinbecks.
Although the name may suggest otherwise, Monnone Alone are a bona fide pop group based around the songwriting of Mark Monnone (ex-Lucksmiths) and featuring members of A-grade pop tinkerers Architecture in Helsinki, Mid-State Orange and Ciggie Witch.
The new album was predominantly recorded on 8-track cassette by Monnone Alone in their shabby-chic backyard studio Stock Cube in the inner-northern Melbourne suburb of Coburg, with some sparkly touches added by Gareth Parton at Los Bomberos.
Deviating from the straight-ahead powerpop of 2019’s Summer of the Mosquito and the locked-down bedroom pop of Stay Foggy (2021), the new album delves into some gentle psychedelia and sunshine pop whilst touching ever so fondly upon The Apples in Stereo, The Who, The Cure, The Bats and yes, Happy Mondays!
Very special guests at the Major Tom's show, making a rare live appearance, will be The Steinbecks featuring various members of the Meadows family, who’ve also been known to play with bands such as Blush, Leaf Mosaic and The Sugargliders.
2:30pm doors

AN EVENT NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
USER hits Major Tom’s
USER are a DIY force. They create a sound inspired by electronic, post punk and goth pop soundtracks.
USER retain creative control of their music from inception, recording, mixing and creating their always unique one off vinyl covers.
USER are touring their third album “MIRA IMPOSTA” around Australia featuring 150 different album covers with 3 vinyl colour variants using upcycled materials.
MIRA IMPOSTA digs deep into the collective USER minds reflecting on an untimely 2am loss, romantic death marches, how far you can take your hate, sexy spy thrillers and our worship of the late David Lynch.
Their live shows are sonically and visually spectacular.
Once described by a punter as “Imagine Portishead being whipped by Trent Reznor (NIN), that’s what you get with USER”.
THE MOTH BODY
The Moth Body (Sam Sejavka & Lisa Gibbs) plays a sparkling admixture of Eighties post-punk and Nineties alternative / dark-wave influences. Sejavka’s (The Ears, Beargarden, FACT) clever, emotive, often eccentric songwriting is most often compared to that of early David Bowie.
Sun 2:30pm
Formed in 2013 by founding Bluebottle Kiss member Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Infinity Broke are a quartet that have been described by Rolling Stone Australia as ‘A powerful exercise in dissonance, rhythm, and melody’. The band’s two headed percussive approach (Scott Hutchings on drums/guitar and Tyrone Stevens on aux drums/percussion) alongside Jamie on guitar/vocals and Reuben Wills on bass has seen them hypnotise audiences all over the east coast, as well as throughout France where the band has toured twice. The group releases its fourth album ‘This Masthead’ on April 4th 2025 via Love As Fiction/Come To The Dark Side Luke Music.
Recorded over five days at Stranded Studios in Bellambi, NSW by Cody Moore and mixed by frontman Jamie Hutchings, This Masthead was inspired by rhythm-heavy jam sessions. Whilst a caustrophobic push and pull informs much of it, there are moments of ethereal beauty as well as lyrical rabbit warrens.
Infinity Broke: Hypnotic avant-rock with teeth!
‘Infinity Broke have always thrived in that murky, experimental space and here, they push it even further, creating something that feels both raw and meticulously crafted’ Amnplify
‘Infinity Broke always have the demeanor of an out of control oil tanker plunging through a thunderstorm in a Tsunami: barely controlled chaos that manages to enthrall and hypnotise in a cotton wool cocoon while leaving you clutching your pearls with joy.’ Backseat Mafia
‘It all amounts to a swirling miasma of underground noise rock and post-punk dissonance that perfectly balances structure and free-form sonic expressionism.’ Doubtful Sounds
RIVER OF SNAKES
ROS are Raul Sanchez - guitar/ vox (Magic Dirt/Midnight Woolf) Elissa Rose- bass/vox (The Loveless/ex RocknRollHighSchool) Dave Payne-drums (Grindhouse/Drifter)River Of Snakes have been splintering ear holes across Australia for over a decade with their brand of dirgey-noise-melodic-shoegaze rock.
Sat 10th May 8pm

Sat 25th April 8:30pm
EGGY are back with their third album in 5 years, a journey through time and genre that continues their creative and experimental streak.
Diving into more synthesised and expansive sounds, From Time to Time is EGGY's boldest work yet. A cinematic soundtrack that traverses musical eras from 50s piano bars to 00s indie, borrowing from 60s soundtracks, 70s prog, and 90s festival stages along the way. Transitioning between songs like scenes in a movie, From Time to Time showcases EGGY at the peak of their creative cinematic ambition.
EGGY are taking the album on the road this April - June, playing galleries, converted ballrooms, festivals and music venues around the world.
The EGGY sound and live show is an evolving shift of creative energy that bends to shape its environment, enveloping halls and ballrooms with cello and overdriven violin, or in clubs and bandrooms with saxophone and blown out riffs.
On April 26th, From Time To Time will travel to Major Tom’s in Kyneton for a special album launch show with prolific Wagga Wagga born musician, Snowy.
