Novelist

Novelist was formed in 2005 by Chase Middaugh and Ryan McMullen - both looking to explore new options to writing and performing music. The initial sounds were heavy, slow paced, constructed pieces with improvised performances such as those heard on Drosera- their debut recording. From there, Novelist evolved into a rhythmic, repetitvive sound heavily influenced by krautrock performers such as Can and Faust. The sound continued to change through many performances on the east coast- eventually arriving at a completely improvised free-formed chaos.

Matt Sonic & The High Times

Matt Sonic began a music career at a Brisbane musical institution, Red Zeds Studios, in early 1996, cutting a demo with musical maestro David Atkins in the wee hours of the morning. The demo, Rebel Riders From Mars, would form a template of the deep and subsonic sounds that have become trademark of his bands that followed through the next 10years. Late 2008 saw Matt touring Australia, from Coober Pedy to Coolangatta playing bass for Magic Dirt, and writing a debut solo album in the back seat of a Holden Commodore.

Yo el Rey

Born in Bradford City, a place once described as "like descending into Hell", we are a guitar rock four piece with a penchant for sleazy riffs and even sleazier lyrics. We have dirty guitars and even dirtier minds. If we can't convert you to our ways, we just might rape your ears and piss on your mattress, then be on our merry way. This is the life we have come to know, and this is the life we invite you into. Our manifesto is a simple one, we want to make your girlfriends dance so we can mate with them, ...and when your girlfriends haven't quenched our thirst, ...you will be next.
