After three months of solid work, it's finally here. Don't Text Your Ex will be releasing their debut EP "Or You Can, If You Want" on the 27th of September and we figured it'd be only right to give it a performance to commemorate its existence.

The EP has been the brain child of both Bri and Aidan, they've done it completely DIY from recording right through to mastering it and they couldn't be more excited for you to hear it.

We would love to see your smiling faces at Bar 303 to help celebrate our baby being out in the world.

Joining us will be our good friends:

DRAGONFRUIT
Informed by sacred music and and various improvisational traditions, Dragonfruit plays set-long pieces which form surreal experiences for the listener. While the electro-acoustic quartet performs, the rhythmically divisive meets the harmonically devout. Dragonfruit is Theo Carbo (guitar, electronics) Robert Downey (vocals, processing) Noah Hutchinson (bass guitar, effects) David Quested (drums, sampler) Ollie Cox (percussion, electronics).

Introducing "The Guitar Lab", a new night of fret wizardry and daring musical experiments at Bar 303 on Tuesday October 15.

A rare chance to see a night of solo guitarists sharing the bill with each guitarist playing one set. The focus is on "low-key" performances that merge improvisation, composition, other people's music. Somewhere between a show and a work in progress. It's loose. But also maybe not?

Featuring guitarists:

Tom Allen-Graham

About
Based out of Melbourne in Australia,this live electronica act strikes the audience with a fun moniker and with a really cool sound.
Lazyboyproactive is a live Electronica outlet for Melbourne singer, songwriter, and producer, Ank Juwaheer, AKA "Ankie."
Five years after the release of the Ka... See more
This sound combines electronic bleeps, live guitars and vocals done in a lazy manner but proactively.
In 2006, LazyBoyProactive was created by Ank Juwaheer Aka "Ankei". In that same year, he played a few gigs but nothing too serious.
In 2009, he locked himself in a beach house on a remote island for ten Months in order to shape his project.
In 2010, he moved back to the city.From then he finished his album “Kaos Dream” in his home studio in Melbourne. The album was released on the 13th Of August 2011 through Tempest Recordings.
The second album 'In Space, In Time And In Life' which will be released in digitally on Friday the 13th of January is an epic conceptual album.
This album transports the listener into a sonic journey from start to finish. Composed like a symphony, in a 1-3-5 minor progression, all the tracks are linked through the chord progressions. With complex melodies and time signatures this musical masterpiece will impress the modern listener in this day and age.
The album although very contemporary and innovative in its sound production is also kind of old school seventies concept.
The albums features songs like Undermental, Runaway and Supersonic that have a pop rock twist and Electro house tracks like Glitched Monkey and Take this greed that will make the punters dance. It also features chilled out tracks like Parallel earth, Obsession and Future Species.
The eclectic combination of genres and styles makes the album take the listener through a journey In Space, In time and In life.
The Project is now available for live shows and tours Globally. Follow on Facebook and email lazyboyproactive on SoundCloud if you are a promoter searching for a live Electro Act.
DJ's and Producers who are interested to remix the tracks on the this album, contact via email for prospective business.

null hypothesis makes distorted-crashy-glitchy-desolate-ambient noisescapes. With bent and broken beats. Mostly out of field recordings gleaned from trains, retro radios, vegetables and malfunctioning electronics. Samples get cut up compulsively, looped and arranged with all the panache of a five-day-old goat and spat back out in a pounding tangle.

Notable live shows include the DISTORTED Festival (Melbourne, Australia) alongside Scorn, Converter, Mono No Aware, Architect, EPA and more; SIGNALS FROM THE OUTSIDE (Istanbul, Turkey) alongside Batur Sonmez; BOTOXIC (Sydney, Australia); RvM (Adelaide, Australia); and Melbourne events such as EMBOLISM, FILTH, ENZYME, OMEKO and RELAPSE.

Other less name-dropping stuff includes sound installation for exhibitions, and foley-sfx-soundtrack offerings for film. The next phase of world-domination is game audio (hopefully), and a little inept circuit bending…

Sister Thing is the alter ego of Melbourne Australia artist Jus 'The Thing' Godden, renowned for other musical projects such as The Ghostlight Project and Biggles in Space. Though history goes back much, much further. Sister Thing herself had been creating music as well as DJ'ing and co-organizing many regular and one off events around the Melbourne Australia 'Dark Alternative Nightclub' Scene since the late nineties. Known to some for sometimes implementing some very rough/crude mixing techniques. Sister Thing has certainly left allot of people with their jaw not quite up or down, probably slightly more confused than anything else. Sister Thing has recently been re-possessed by her alter ego 'The Thing' who has been writing and producing music for far, far longer, and given the experimental nature of The Thing's past projects, you will never really know what may come next, Check out http://www.mp3.com.au/ghostlight for more info on The Thing.

Jake Mason Trio with James Sherlock (Guitar) & Danny Fischer (Drums) play Melbourne's only regular Hammond night.

Taking cue from the golden era of organ trios (Smith, McDuff, and McGriff) and music from todays melting pot, the trio weave their way through familiar sounds with a modern twist. Bluesy soul-jazz, blazing vigour and soundtrack-esque territory.

“I love the place where Jazz and Soul meets” says Mason. “It has a simplicity that is so warm and welcoming combined with a complexity that is exciting and makes you move”

Released in 2018, the trio’s debut release “The Stranger In The Mirror” recently picked up an ARIA nomination for Best Jazz Album 2018.

The Thursday Hammond Sessions - Kickin The B at 303 are presented on the first and last Thursdays of each month The Leslie will be spinning and the tone wheels in the mighty vintage B3 style Hammond Organ will be grinding .

The Mystic Charmers are excited to present new tunes at their returning gig Bar 303 on Sunday September 22nd from 3:30-5:30pm.

Playing an eclectic array of tunes from cartoon music by Raymond Scott, tangos by Astor Piazzolla, 1930s jazz by Sidney Bechet, Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton, plus featuring specialised arrangements of Django Reinhardt’s ‘Hot Club Swing’ repertoire.

"This is Manouche style swing from the wrong side of the tracks. Where Trombones moan like old hound dogs, tomcat violins weep and wail, while the clarinet cuts through like a switchblade lover on a lonely night" - Joe Coool.

David Taylor will take his ‘Chapter Two’ Tour around Australia in 2019.

The tour signals the next Chapter for this 21-year old pop indie singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist since his last tour in 2016.

The ‘Chapter Two’ Tour features an exciting show case of David Taylor’s excitingly deep, melodic and moving original catalogue. Carried by the smooth vocals that we all saw in ‘Thoughts then reality’ (album released in 2016) and accompanied by guitar and piano, the Chapter Two Tour features David’s new 3 songs (names are a secret right now) which will be released in 2019.

Like its name, ‘Chapter Two’ contains David’s next chapter in singing and songwriting which explores those memories, moments and feelings that we all relate to and share. David has spent 2 years working on his new songs with musicians from around the globe and has been honing his vocal skills for this next phase. Is he Australia’s next great songwriter and indie vocalist? We think so – but come see for yourself.

From topping the singer/songwriter charts, to opening for Pete Murray, singing for Bon Jovi, and touring internationally all before she could take her first legal drink- , Vendulka is an artist who shows no signs of slowing down. A versatile and highly original songwriter who draws from both contemporary musical influences and a rich Eastern European folk heritage, Vendulka is a mesmerising solo performer whose career has seen her perform from folk and indie music festival stages to showcasing at Australian Music Week 2018.

A two time Australian National Busking Champion - , this 21 year old has won over audiences on streets, at festivals and from the comfort of their own homes. Vendulka appeared on the 2019 season of The Voice and her unique version of Culture Club’s ‘Karma Chameleon’ proved to be a crowd favourite, with over 1.7 million views online (and still climbing!). Her rendition was so captivating that Boy George himself joined her on stage and sang his song in Vendulka’s style. This publicly acclaimed rendition has led to many opportunities, one of which was a speaker’s slot at Canberra’s very own TEDx salon “No Place Like Home”.

Make no mistake- Vendulka is a compelling artist. Her most recent release ‘Good Words’ has just been announced as a semi finalist for the Listen Up 2019 Songwriting Prize from hundreds of Australia wide entries.

Joined on stage for this intimate performance at Bar 303 by Viktor Rufus on guitar, Josh Richens on bass, Joel Davy on cello and Ethan Mestroni on drums - this is an evening you don't want to miss!

The PutBacks have established themselves as one of the premier funk outfits in Australia. In their career they have opened for The Bamboos, Electric Empire and Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes, as well as international funk and soul icons The Menahan Street Band featuring Charles Bradley, and Booker T Jones. In May 2012 The PutBacks were chosen as the house band for the infamous Prince after party at the Hi Fi Bar. The PutBacks were also house band for Arts Centre Melbourne’s 2011 and 2012 Big Notes production, featuring the likes of Emma Donovan and Mantra.

Take a ride on the 86 tram for optimum convenience: stop number 32 is right at the venue's front door.

“Raw” “Unique” “Groovy” … insert whatever words you like, the truth is… none or all of them could possibly sum him up.
This bloke sounds exactly how he acts.. and that has never been anywhere close to predictable.
He’s gained a mass cult following in Melbourne’s underground/outdoor techno scene.. so we’re gonna see what happens when we invite this scruffy pup to the slightly angled back room of Bar303. Trust, it’ll be a true display of epic meets tracksuit pants.

BLUETONGUE
We happen to know that this Windex Licker / rock dwelling lizard has been up to heaps more than just lounging out under the sun in your backyards, don’t get me wrong.. he still loves it, he’s just seeing other spaces. The result is a shit tongue (see what I did there) of new and unheard tunes.. [commence the froth process now]
Come celebrate unemployment with our favourite ex-Bondi junk dealer / noise complaint enthusiast.
