Very few artists wield so much charisma that they can sell you just about anything before you’ve realised what’s happened. Matt Joe Gow has the charisma to be one of those artists – but he isn’t.
Having performed around Australia from The Sydney Opera House toThe Queenscliff Festival Blue Train, Matt prefers to concentrate on the conviction.You don’t have to listen to more than thirty seconds of Matt’s debut 'The Messenger' to appreciate that.And that voice. Rich, resonant. A baritone cloak of many shades and shadows.A songwriter whose swagger has taken him from the dusty influences of Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams and others, to the swirling urban chime of electric, ambient rock . . . and now, back again.
Matt Joe Gow returns with his 6 piece band in tow to play songs from his latest album ‘Seven Years’.A diverse set of songs from heartfelt americana belters through to spacious ballads.‘Seven Years’ contains seven years worth of Matt Joe Gow’s finest work.

JP & THE TROUBLED WATERS
Since their inception in early 2017, Jess Parker & The Troubled Waters have been cooking up a unique
brew of Tarantino-esque desert blues and dark Australiana, captivating and possessing audiences along the
way. Their debut EP 'Goin' Swimming' released in March 2018, received wide support on community radio
incl. a live in-studio performance on 3CR. Highlights in their short time include sold out shows supporting
Cash Savage & The Last Drinks and Cable Ties, and King Wolf, and playing 3 packed shows at the Bendigo Blues & Roots Festival all while writing and honing their sound in countless dimly lit bars across Australia.
RUM FOR LEGBA
Bringing their atomic, hypnotic rock n' roll blues to the humble Major Toms Stage, Rattlin' Bones Blackwood and Fowlmouth are a true force to be reckoned with.
Hailing from the regional swamps of the Victorian outskirts, they are professionals in the art of voodoo-driven fuzzed out sonic medicine, their live performance a true vibrational excorcism.

Emerging from the subconscious, please meet the wide-eyed DIY bunch of eccentric drifters, Pleasure Coma.
Combining milk, exercise and punk rock, Pleasure Coma is thrilled to introduce you to its debut single, “Waiting” and the accompanying video, conveniently sub-titled for German audiences.
The precursor to their 3-track EP Naked, “Waiting” is the first piece of music to be released by the flamboyant 4 piece having spent the last 2 years leaving their mark on venues along the Australian east coast.
Outside of putting pub PAs through their paces, to date they’ve shared stages with Gooch Palms and Bleeding Knees Club charming crowds with their loose and boisterous energy driven by their infectious songs. Along the way Pleasure Coma have become acquainted with festival stages including King Street Crawl and were blessed with an opening set at Splendour in the Grass 2018, charged with the role of christening the Smirnoff tent with a blistering 2 hour DJ set of punk, rock and garage.
Pleasure Coma comprises 4 upstanding young Centrelink beneficiaries who hail from all parts of NSW. Lead singer and guitarist, Tasker, calls the tiny regional NSW township of Guyra home (population 1,900). Later moving to Coffs Harbour and now Sydney, the band’s debut EP was recorded entirely in the space under Tasker’s Ikea-inspired raised bunk bed in his Redfern sharehouse (also featured in the “Waiting” video). Reminiscent of early Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day, the band’s eccentricities and energy beautifully colour their DIY approach, always anchored to carefully crafted songwriting.
A prolific songwriter, 22 year old Tasker might already be familiar to many Australian music fans, with songwriting credits on tracks by Tia Gostelow and Kinder alongside his solo production work collaborating with artists like G Flip and Alison Wonderland. The melodic instincts and musical prowess evident on that work comes to the fore in Tasker’s debut alongside his pals in Pleasure Coma.
Beneath the scuzz and swagger of this ramshackle group are songs which intelligently give breath to day to day struggles. And at a time when being a group of white dudes releasing music might not – on paper – resemble a compelling hook, Pleasure Coma lift the veil on that very concept of modern identity, by exploring themes of esteem, courage and compassion. Lean in closely, there’s more to them than you might think.
SAT 16TH MARCH 8:30PM
