Quince Jam consists of Don Jordan on trombone with Jim Glasson tenor sax, Ben Hooper on piano, James Lockwood on bass and Rob Mercer on drums. We play songs like "Moanin'", "Five Spot After Dark", "This I Dig Of You", and "Sweetness", written by such as Bobby Timmons, Benny Golson, Hank Mobley and Curtis Fuller. We also play tunes and arrangements by J. J. Johnson, plus mainstream versions of tunes like "I Should Care", "Louisiana" and "Crazy Rhythm.
This is a classic line-up from the '50s and '60s, with a beautiful warm sound - the tenor sax and trombone combining to produce beautiful sonorities and nimble interplay. We get great support from our stellar rhythm section, too."
Across so-called ''Australia'', military and industrial projects have repetively undermined First Nations peoples' rights to their lands, culture, and laws. Currently, Senior Kokatha Elder Aunty Sue Coleman Haseldine is actively challenging the company Southern Launch, who run Koonibba Test Range, a rocket launch and testing site established over Kokatha Country. Approved in 2020, the project excluded Aunty Sue from any consultation, as well their potential and now actual defense ties.
Aunty Sue is out on country continually carrying out her cultural responsibilities and practice. Whilst being deeply concerned about the threat these activities pose to sacred sites, local ecosystems, and the safety of being out there as rockets fly over. We want to raise awareness about her fight and raise funds for both her and for Native Title Rockets, a documentary currently in post-production that shares her story and the significance of this cause.

The Little Bands Melbourne: 1979-1980 LP will be officially LAUNCHED on Saturday the 23rd of November at BAR 303 in Northcote from 3pm-7pm, with tons of Little Band performances in the band room, as well as tracks from the LP+ playing in the front bar.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. CASH ONLY!
Unique to Melbourne, the ‘Little Bands’ was a sub scene of the punk/post-punk underground world that came together for a brief period of time across a small number of supportive venues. This 20 track compilation captures a selection of Little Bands that were recorded live in 1980 by 3RRR champ Alan Bamford on a Sony Reel to Reel machine. Included is a detailed 8-page booklet with info/photos/interviews etc...along with a repro of a 4-page fanzine/interview, ’The North Fitzroy Beat', by Alan Bamford.
The Little Bands scene was helmed by experimental, electronic pioneers, Primitive Calculators & Whirlywirld in 1979. With band names like Too Fat to Fit Thru the Door, Bags of Personality, Clang, Hoy Family Swingers, Morpions, Simplex, The Delicatessens, The Saxophone Caper and World of Sport, over 50 bands became a part of this Avant Garde and experimental musical scene from 1979 - 1980.
Lost Canoe The Devil's Own Circus and Ymago for an awesome night of tunes.

The Putbacks are stone cold pros, grizzled veterans of all the tours and all the studios. As individuals, they’re the players behind so many bands it’s difficult to list. Featuring Simon Mavin on Hammond, Mick Meagher on bass, Tom Martin on guitar, Justin Marshall on percussion, and on the drum kit – Rory McDougall. Their collaboration with Emma Donovan elevates their music and Emma’s songs to another level, an enigmatic sound that can be heard on their most recent release Under These Streets (2021) written in the depths of lockdown, and prior to this Crossover (2020).
The Putbacks take their cues from the great house bands of the 60s and 70s soul studios - think of The MGs, The Meters and The Wrecking Crew, as well as film composers from David Axelrod to Adrian Younge and contemporary instrumental groups BADBADNOTGOOD and Khruangbin.

Delicate, humourous, ethereal, intimate and quirky. The band features:
