'Thousand Footsteps' is expansive and broad, whereas 'Invisible Desert', recorded on the same day was more personal and intimate. 'Thousand Footsteps' is an allegory of change in a world of complacent discontent; a world where the future is unseen, unknown and extremely fragile.
The band once again shine in an atmosphere of musical alliance that portrays a beautiful yet simple comittment to wholistic music making.

The Wimmera speaks. D’Arcy Molan

After skronking with saxophone delight in The Impossible No Goods and being part of BJ Morriszonkle’s Toy Symphony wrecking crew, D’Arcy Molan is sufficiently pacified to perform an interpretation of his matrilineal connection to the Wimmera region in western Victoria. In ‘The Wimmera speaks’ D’Arcy will project landscape photographs, and use spoken word, pre-recorded soundscapes, and live instruments to present material themed around people and place, the ethics of non-indigenous belonging, and the multiple history of spaces explored in his recent work, ‘The Wimmera: a postcolonial mosaic memoir’. Experience the premiere of this new multimodal work with punctuated support from MC Rhythmic Gibberish and vocal haiku from The Northern Belles.

doors at 8pm, $10.

The Good Minus 10pm
Copperhead Brass Band 9pm
Mijo Biscan 8pm

THE GOOD MINUS bring their inimitable style of angular pop to Bar 303 on Sat 8th July. Matt Welch, Dave Kean and Stu Hazelman blend widely different influences to create intricate arrangements, featuring three-part vocal harmonies and obscure yet groove-heavy time signatures. These three instrument-swapping singers have each garnered over a decade of experience with artists such as The Hazelman Brothers, Cavanagh & Argus, and Fly South.

Armed with nothing but a slew of horns and percussion, COPPERHEAD BRASS BAND combines elements of the loud, gritty street parties of New Orleans with the meticulously arranged sounds and beats of a hip-hop troupe. Inspired by the heavy-hitters of American brass bands such as Youngblood and the Stooges, Copperhead will bring the dance wherever they see fit.

MIJO BISCAN - “Moody, heartbreaking, stunning, f**king epic.” –Beat Magazine
Delicately crafted lyrics, floating melody lines and sometimes intense croon/howling.

Dirty Lopez and his sax Mambo is a four piece Latin group from Melbourne.

We recently came together from previous larger Latin band (Da Chos) where we have been playing lots of shows and festivals around Australia for almost 20 years.

We play various Latin (and some modern hip tunes-Latin-fied) tunes as well as originals.

The band Includes: Henry Chaparro - Vocals, composer, Jorge Duran - Keys, Steve Forss -Drums, Percuss, and Cristian Lopez - Vocals, Sax

The Jackson 4 Groove - Blues - Jazz and Swing Hammond B3 driven groove quartet. Perfect to Swing dance and groove to.

The style of the band is very much a classic 50's/60’s Blues, soul/jazz and Swing dance. In keeping with the classic 50's/60’s sound and look of the Hammond B3 organ the band is centred on.

Hammond Organ - Gary ‘Groove Keys’ Jones
Sax and vocals - Jeff Mead
Drums - Nick Mierisch
Vocals and Percussion - Peter Jackson

Doors at 8.00pm - Performance time: 9.00pm - 11.00pm

The Leslie will be spinning and the tone wheels in the mighty vintage B3 style Hammond

Organ will be grinding to the music from Australia's finest Hammond Organ players

with their highly acclaimed rhythmn sections and surprise guest musicians.

303 Bar is ‘pulling out all the stops’ and has installed a big and beautiful vintage 60’s Hammond organ (B3 in a churchy cabinet) and mighty ‘Leslie’ rotary speaker in the front bar. Few, if any, venues are lucky enough to permanently host the incredible and unique sounds produced by this dynamic combination. We all know - there is no substitute for the real thing.

Trickbox.
The Trickbox project creates entire electronic sets on the spot using electronic and natural instruments going into a live looper; adapting the set spontaneously to each environment.
The tools are two synths, a melodica, a hand-drum with theramin, vocal effects and bags full of cheeky tricks, including the ability to sample FM radio and the crowd, and then live remix and tweak the input into a new song.
The show is a performance, and an interaction with the environment it surrounds. Any sound, style and speed is possible and this is decided in the moment. Each set is unique, and is made only for the moment, each sound and song, never to be heard the same again.

"...original songs in the vein of The National, Echo and the Bunnymen, with a hint of The Saints"
"...echoes of Scott Walker at his most reflective, of John Cale (circa Paris 1919), even of mariachi."

Daniel's songs have been covered by Bad Seed Mick Harvey and Cruel Sea member James Cruickshank.

They will be joined at Bar303 by the very talented Laura MacFarlane (ninetynine) & Ashtray Boy

w/ Max Quinn, Jo Neugebauer & Obscura Hail

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
