My new song ‘HETERONORMATIVE NIGHTMARE’ is out right now! This song chronicles my awkward adolescent (and let’s be honest my awkward present) and the humbling realisation that you’re a big homo. I'll be heading around the country supporting cock rock icon BEC SANDRIDGE on her national ‘Try + Save Me’ album tour and then i'll be bringing it home with a regional romp!
I'm so excited to be heading out on my first headline tour that I'm bringing the whole band along as well as absolute corker humans Rin McArdle & Georgia Knight !!!
We would like to acknowledge that this event takes place on the land of the Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, the traditional owners of the land, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty has not been ceded. Dja Wurrung

After releasing their debut album which enjoyed high rotation on Double J and airplay on community radio stations across the country, Human Face emerge from their forest studio to launch ‘Parallels’, the band’s second full-length album.
From the creepy psycho-disco ‘Moth’ to the heartbreak ballad ‘Shadow’, the album can’t be wedged into a single-genre pigeon hole. Human Face’s penchant for studio gizmos and classic gear shines through, with drum machines, obscure analogue synthesizers and the band’s beloved RE-201 Space Echo featuring across the album.
Themes on ‘Parallels’ also cover much ground, from the intergalactic fantasy of the title track to the political sentiment of “Dirty Rinehart”.
Catch Human Face in a rare live show with support from local talent "Bruiser".

Leo Rondeau deals in stories candid and honest and plainspoken. Based in Nashville TN, his own story finds root in the Turtle Mountains of North Dakota, where Rondeau grew up surrounded by country music listeners and pickers spanning three generations. “It was always around me,” he says.
This aspect of his adolescence bolstered an unwavering sense of self and place in his work that sets Rondeau apart from peer musicians. A child of the rural American west and owning family lineage within the Turtle Mountain band of the Chippewa Indian tribe, his own history and worldview are engrained in the lines of his songs. This is about a type of honesty that means more than simply telling the truth. It’s a voice that either lives within you or does not.
Early on, Rondeau found and dug into such contemporary mainstream artists as Steve Earle and Dwight Yoakam, gleaning from them a penchant for up-tempo numbers geared toward the dance hall. But Leo Rondeau is a country dance band with a folk singer’s heart. If there's a dance floor you'll find it in full swing when Leo's playing, but you’ll also find bar sitters turned on their stools watching the stage.
Rondeau is first and foremost a songwriter. As a boy, he took immediate interest in writing and has maintained a deep respect for studying one’s own life through song. He calls himself a lifelong musician, and to hear him play will take the wind out of anyone who says otherwise. In his writing, Rondeau has been heavily influenced by the dolorous and at times bleak illustrations of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers and Townes Van Zandt. His marked presence within the scenes of his stories is even reminiscent of early Tom Waits tunes in their somber appreciation of the darker realities of life.
This is Rondeau’s third visit to Australia, having been invited back to play the incomparable Dashville Skyline Festival in NSW, and will be touring with full band, the East Coast with Melbourne’s Prince of Honky Tonk James Ellis and the Jealous Guys

Special guest The Smallgoods (duo)
Broads launch their new album STAY CONNECTED at Major Tom’s.
Melbourne queens of indie-noir, Broads, will release their highly anticipated album ‘Stay Connected’on Friday August 23. They will be launching it at Major Tom’s, Kyneton on Saturday 21st September as part of their national album launch tour.
Fresh off the Tim Rogers 'Liquid Nights' tourbus, Broads return to Castlemaine with their sophomore album ‘Stay Connected’. Self produced, Broads have pushed their sound from their acoustic roots into a wider spectrum of colour - with hints at 60s pop, 70s folk, a little 80s new wave. Tying the album together is the duo's disarming vocals and lyricism, defying any obvious comparisons.

A Brother by Lachlan Denton & Studio Magic has just been released! The Age and SMH has given the album 4 stars saying “there’s often a quiet thrill listening to his music, like driving too quickly over a sharp dip in the road”.
After releasing his debut solo album ‘Two Months In Ben Woolley’s Room’ in 2018, Lachlan Denton directed his focus back to The Ocean Party. After finishing off their next record and in the midst of organising its release Lachlan’s brother and Ocean Party band mate, Zac Denton, tragically and suddenly passed away. The band released ’The Oddfellows’ Hall’ as well as an EP of Zac’s final Ocean Party recordings, titled ‘Nothing Grows’ and put their band of 10 years to rest.
In a state of shock and confusion Lachlan put his thoughts to music, working through his emotions and looking for solace in a time of immense sadness. ‘A Brother’ though born from grief, is work of catharsis and a stunning reflection on a loving relationship between brothers.
To record the album, Lachlan assembled a band now collectively known as Studio Magic, featuring Ambrin Hasnain (Cool Sounds, Pregnancy, Skydeck), Dainis Lacey (Cool Sounds),Liam Halliwell (The Ocean Party, No Local), Rose Kean and Anila Hasnain, to live track the album at his Coburg home and Halliwell’s home studio in Preston. Mixed and mastered byHalliwell, the album has a live charm that lends itself to the honest and personal nature of the songwriting. The clean instrumental interplay and Denton’s deft pop hooks perfectly juxtapose against the devastatingly direct lyrical content, creating songs that are equal parts sad and hopeful. ‘A Brother’ is also a tribute to an incredible person and songwriter taken from us far too soon.
