The Valiants

The Valiants are an explosive 5 piece Indie/Alt Rock outfit, sprouting from the hills of East Melbourne. With influences ranging from Arctic Monkeys to AC/DC, they bring a unique sound to the Melbourne rock scene. Punchy drums, groovy bass lines, duelling guitar riffs, and soaring keys are what you can expect from these boys as they tear up stages near you.

The Kids Next Door

A quirk filled, four-piece, alternative indie-rock band, The Kids Next Door blend a wide range of influences into a delicious sonic concoction. Originally from the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, now residing in Melbourne, their sound moves from crooning country ballads to fast-paced, fuzzed out rock riffs. Their harmonies will tug on those tender heart strings, whilst their air-tight dynamics will get your heart rate racing and your head banging.

Spoegwolf (ZAF)

Spoegwolf is 'n Afrikaanse musiekgroep van die Paarl, Suid-Afrika wat in Februarie 2012 gestig is. Die groep bestaan uit Moskou du Toit (tromme, perkussie en sang), Chris von Wielligh (kitaar, klavier), Albert van der Merwe (baskitaar, sang, rymklets) en Danie du Toit (sang, kitaar, klavier). Van hulle treffers is Loerie, Lenie Blou, Bittermaan en Somerset-Wes. Spoegwolf het geskiedenis gemaak deur die eerste Afrikaanse musiekgroep te wees om die nommer een plek op die Apple Music treffersparade in Suid-Afrika te beklee. Op hoërskool het Chris by hulle aangesluit op klawerbord, en in 2008 het hulle Die Burger se Jip Rockspaaider-kompetisie gewen.

Die eersteprys het 'n professionele opname in 'n ateljee behels deur Paris Recording Studios - hul eerste musiekvideo, en gigs moes sorg vir daaglikse uitgawes. In hulle tweede jaar het hy en Albert besluit om dié spelery meer professioneel aan te pak. Die musiekgroep het as Ysterkoei bekend gestaan tot en met 2012, toe Spoegwolf ontstaan het en die groep 'n sterker visie en beeld wou koppel aan die groep en die musiek wat hulle maak.

Hulle visie – en met Danie se nuutgevonde insigte te danke aan sy taal- en kultuurvakke verkry in die rekenaarlokaal waar hy saans na ete gaan werk het – was om ’n musiekgroep te skep vir mense wat lief is vir literatuur.

“Ons wou ’n Afrikaanse band wees wat dink.” Hy noem dan ook sy literêre en musiekinspirasie as onderskeidelik Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger en Bruce Springsteen."

FOXTROT OSKAR

Foxtrot Oskar is an up and coming indie/Alt rock group. Hailing out of Melbourne, these musos are recently coming off of their first official single "Paper Thin" and are now working on stamping their name across town with their hard hitting energetic sound.

Featuring Chloe Horler on Vocals, Connor Davis on Lead Guitar, Michael Donaldson on Rhythm Guitar, Riley Davis on Drums and Sage Brandini on Bass.

All from different walks of life, Foxtrot Oskar's music and lyrics range from political prospective, exploring the differing states of mental and emotional barriers and touches on the beauty and complications of all kinds of relationships.

The Here Here’s

Inspired by the cinematic surf sounds of Joe Meek, John Barry and Jack Nitzsche, the hot rod twang of Link Wray and the eccentric genius of Lee Perry’s Upsetters, The Here Here’s play an all original repertoire of melodic, toe tapping and memorable killer instrumentals.
