The Zebs: Party times are ahead with local dance-oriented indie-pop group The Zebs. Their amalgamation of sprightly lead guitar hooks, bounding drums and vocal hollers make for some sweaty dance floor times. They wont be doing it alone though as they’re joined on the night by the equally energetic Skyways are Highways (Melb), The Cadres and Train Robbers.

Brothers Grim & The Blue Murders: A rollicking good time is guaranteed with this sordid swamp blues collective. With their brash slide guitars, whiskey worn vocals and uncompromising rhythm section Brothers Grim are not just your average blues band. You can imagine the rough and tumble sounds of the group pouring out of a raucous juke joint, separated from outlaws as they play behind the protection of chicken wire.
