We had a cheeky chat with one of our fave local bands rocking the Aussie music scene. These legends are gearing up for their THIRD gig at Harbord — where they not only love the intimate vibes of the stage but also adore the subtle jingles of dancing jewelry (ah, the sounds of the good life).
Formed in 2016, this surf rock band and their infectious sounds have earned them slots at huge music festival around Australia such as Splendour In The Grass, Spaced Out Fest & Tone City Fest.
Join us for their FREE gig on Friday 26 July with special guests Scatter Light and Good Pash. Have a read – it’s a good one!
