Oh ho ho, it's time for another gaze into the cinematic abyss with CineCult303. This June, we are proud to present Eric Red's COHEN & TATE (86mins - 1989).

A modern noir filled with existential dread, and a looming sense of doom, COHEN & TATE tells the story of two hitmen who kidnap a child after assassinating his parents.

Inspired by the O. Henry short story 'The Ransom of Red Chief', COHEN & TATE was the directorial debut of Eric Red. Red, known primarily as the writer of cult classic THE HITCHER, as well as Kathryn Bigelow films NEAR DARK and BLUE STEEL, delivered a lean and mean slice of cinematic carnage, and went on to have one of the more odd and tragic Hollywood careers.

Starring one of Liam's favourite actors, Roy Scheider (SORCERER; JAWS) and that Gamer Gate fuckwit Adam Baldwin (A Knob), COHEN & TATE was unfairly overlooked at the time of release, and deserves your attention, buds.

Come through at 7pm to grab a drink, have a chat and to snag the good couches for a 7:30pm start.

As always, a gold coin donation is require to help keep CineCult303 awkward and weird..

CineCult303 is a not-for-profit film night dedicated to keeping the weird alive. Gold coin donation for entry. All proceeds will be donated to local arts organisations to keep the weird growing.

Materialising on stage in a vibrant, passionate flourish of purple bohemianism, Tasmanian troubadour Jesse McCormack showcases his signature style of “Swedish-infused acoustic Celtic folk-rock” utilising a small arsenal of eclectic instruments and a voice that's been known to reduce grown men to tears and rowdy pubs to awed silence. He'll present a generous selection of songs from his new album 'Enchanted Forest', a fantasy/history-themed project which evokes imaginings of mythological creatures dancing between the trees, as well as highlights from his debut album 'The Day Before the Fair' and tributes to his musical heroes.

Taking place in the quirky front bar of 303, the launch will feature three talented special guests from the Melbourne folk music scene: Jess Foot (5-string violin), Sam Davies (uilleann pipes), and 'Enchanted Forest' guest musician Claire Patti (harp, vocals).

Tickets at the door: $10pp, or $5pp for a group of 10+

Homebass teams up with newly established Corymbia recordings to present griff's new album - "Aerial One".

This is an album for those unfamiliar with the sonic sweet spot that is arrangement-driven electronic music, and for the intransigent characters who dismiss electronica for its supposed lack of musicality.

As one of Australia's long time purveyors of highly varied and unique music, we can trust this newest offering will please our ears time and time again. This marks the 3rd studio album from griff, a massive achievement for any musician's career and it looks like there will be many more certified classics to come!

The night will also feature support from Homebass residents

Hypnotech (Addictech Records/Addictech.com)
Kodiak Kid (Addictech/Omelette)
Auramechanic

All in the back room of Bar 303, where the bass will rattle your heart ;)

An eclectic but solid mix of Indie rock n roll, electro, garage/psych rock, 6' 7" drummers, little looped big bangin ukelele action from the 60's till now and projected into the future but with a retro fit. Soulful, funky, electro, acoustic etc. Too much to mention. What more could you want?! Come down to Bar 303 and gratuitously rock out without a care! The only regret you'll have, is if you don't rock on down to to Bar 303 avenue. You won't catch us with our pants down! Or maybe you will?!

After many years of successful live instore performances, Rathdowne Records are moving their live RSD component across the street to Bar 303. FOSSE is the solo project of Silver Lining's Francoise D'Argent, and she'll be warming up the stage from 4, then Lake Minnetonka will purify you with the gangster funk of the Melbourneapolis sound.

Asylum Sis†ers
A local 4 piece industrial metal electro band- Asylum Sisters. Originally from Los Angeles, these dirty talents have been around for a few years now and over the years not one show hasn't drawn in a massive crowd. They are extremely vibrant, great entertainers and fun enough to play for a massive crowd of alternative lovers. I can honestly say they would do amazing as a line up act. Not your average metal act, which is why they would be successful.

Giant Clam
Math-Prog 5 piece with big, wonky tunes, formed in 2015.
Featuring members from Grotto, Future Corpse, Lopaka, Space Cadet.
Things go from noodley to twinkly to epic but the band is mostly either counting while looking at each other or looking at the floor. FFO: Trailer Park Boys, Smokes, Other stuff, etc.

Fritzwicky
Formed in Melbourne in 2008, Fritzwicky bring a unique mix of influences together in a mix of experimental alt-rock. Fritzwicky have a reputation for unpredictable, high energy live shows and a penchant for not taking themselves seriously enough.

Good Grief
Shoegaze/Post-Rock 5 piece who play some gloomy stuff that gets big, while being haunted by the spidery voice of a talented vocal web-slinger. Featuring the entirety of Minorfauna as members.

Doors at 7PM, bands start at 8PM.
$10 entry or $5 concession
