Sydney-based solo artist JACK R. REILLY is stoked to announce his new single ‘Newland Street’, together with a string of East Coast shows this June. ‘Newland Street’ is the follow up to 2016’s Video Tapes EP, and is available to listen to on Unearthed now.

Drawing from a wide landscape of influences, from Elliot Smith to Fugazi, Jack R. Reilly cultivates a vast landscape of emotion through his music. On ‘Newland Street’, an introduction of finger picked guitar grows to a full sonic soundscape with pianos and drawn out, ringing guitars. He sings of the little moments that give way to greater contemplations; considering survival, desire and belonging through the routine lens of travelling to work every day.

Originally hailing from Kiama, NSW, Jack R. Reilly has established himself as a welcomed staple of the NSW music scene. Testament to his versatile sound, over the last couple of years he has supported the likes of Into It. Over It. (USA), Kevin Devine (USA), Andy Bull, Tiny Ruins (NZ), Owl Eyes, Georgia Maq and Bec Sandridge, to name but a few. His last handful of singles have all had strong support on triple j Unearthed and even scored the co-sign of Kevin Smith (Jay and Silent Bob) who called his music “ingenious.”

To celebrate the release of ‘Newland Street’, Jack R. Reilly is playing four shows in NSW and Vic with Max Quinn this June with a stellar cast of friends to support

Eureka! The moment when you get three killer musicians and a DJ on stage together. Get ready to get your groove on.

As fun as it is having a boogie to a DJ playing funk, soul and disco edits, how much more fun can it be when those edits get funkified a whole lot more with some kick arse live musicians! The beats and tunes are just the beginning, with Mark and the Alex's free to layer and solo with impunity. No tune will be safe. What happens at any given point in time is up to us. If the soloist is flowing then we can keep it on. If the groove is tight, we can hold it.

Eureka! is Mark Knowledge on the decks and percussion, Alex Yarosh on guitar, Alexander Leslie Abercrombie Howroyd on sax and trumpet. Let the games commence!

Doors open from 7.30, $10

Mal Webb and Kylie Morrigan

Vocal adventurer, multi-instrumentalist and looping beatboxing songwriter Mal sings his brain provoking songs using all sorts of vocal techniques, guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, trombone, chromatic harmonica and a loop recording pedal called Derek. And Kylie (who's played with Orchestra Victoria and the likes of Stevie Wonder and Barry White!) provides violin and voice in a perfect balance to Mal's nutsness. Their arrangements are intricate and playful. Imagine Einstein, Dr Seuss and Paganini making pancakes.

Around the world and into your brain, vocal adventurer, multi-instrumentalist and looping beatboxing songwriter Mal Webb sings his songs about all manner of stuff. He's like Bobby McFerrin, Aphex Twin and Cole Porter playing scrabble. Ebulliently eclectic. Nefariously varied. Family fun free from facile frippery. "You're a freak!"-Ani DiFranco

Jamie MacDowell’s Hammond Combo is the new instrumental project from Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Jamie MacDowell. After selling out shows at a slew of international festivals as one half of guitar/beatboxing duo Jamie MacDowell and Tom Thum, he’s bringing it home to Melbourne to give his tunes the Hammond treatment. Joined by Felix Elliot-Dedman on keyboards and Holly Norman on drums, the band is a platform for MacDowell’s lyrically acrobatic showmanship, weaving together flavours of blues, jazz, RnB, and soul, to create anthems of truth for the everyman that pack a meaningful punch. Original music dished up with elongated jams, hypnotic syncopation, tasty organ licks and a 10% chance of
spontaneously breaking into a Destiny’s Child rap.

Our colourful show will portray West African culture through rhythms, songs, and movement incorporating African dance and drumming at its best with Aboriginal didgeridoo. Come and see our high energy blend of West African and Aboriginal culture . An original performance, not seen anywhere else.

After the success of their debut EP ‘It’s All A Dream’ and tour which featured sold out headline shows in Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra, Sydney’s up and coming alt-rock six-piece Gostwyck are back, and set to celebrate the upcoming release their new single 'Riverstone' on The Riverstone Tour.

The tune signals a new direction for the band, drawing on strong 80’s New Wave influences channeling the arena sounds of Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen and The Cure while holding steadfast to the ambient aesthetic reminiscent of The War on Drugs and Gang of Youths. Having spent the last six months refining their recorded and live sound with accomplished producer Lewis Mitchell (The Parliament Studios), Gostwyck are back with their punchy and mesmerising live show, embarking on The Riverstone Tour this April, May and June!

"Bollard are definitely the kind of guys that would wear sunglasses indoors." - Barman Geoff

Co-Headlining with Gostwyck on the Melbourne leg of their Riverstone Tour are local newcomers Bollard. Expect fuzzy guitars and driving rhythms influenced by bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Drones & Gang of Four, and lyrics that vascillate between philosophical musing and modern Australian storytelling.

Penelope Swales (guitar), Carl Pannuzzo (drums), Mal Webb (bass/mbira) and Andrew Clermont (violin/mandolin/guitar). Songs by themselves and a few dear friends. Imagine Joni Mitchell and James Brown getting down in Bob Marley's pumpkin patch via the Muppets. Infectious eclectic beauty in the gourdiest of costumes. All the instruments are made by Penelope under the guidance of world renowned luthier, Jack Spira.
