PREPARE FOR A FULL-ON NIGHT OF ROCK N’ ROLL AT THE BENDIGO HOTEL ON THE 10TH OF MAY WITH FULLNOISE ARTIST CASS AWARE!

Cass Aware is a high-energy grunge rock band from Melbourne, formed in 2024. Shaped by their diverse backgrounds across Colombia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Perth, their unique upbringing fuels a sound that blends thrashy riffs, melodic bass lines, pounding drums, and high-intensity shredding, with influences from Muse, Green Day, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana—and hints of funk and metal.

They will be joined by AltaV, a gritty alt-rock piece packed with punchy guitar riffs reminiscent of the 90’s hard rock sound, as well as Chloe Booth, whose songs are a seamless blend of
electrifying riffs, honest lyrics and memorable hooks.

Hold onto your teeth—Judo CHOP! are back, and they're not pulling punches. The Melbourne-based six-piece have unleashed their long-awaited new EP 'Cosmic', and to celebrate they’re throwing the launch party of the year. Blending melodic punk, thrash metal, and martial arts madness, Judo CHOP! deliver a turbo-charged live set packed with triple-guitar harmonies, pounding rhythms, and hook-laden choruses that hit like a roundhouse to the soul.

With a pedigree that includes supports for A Wilhelm Scream, Ignite, 28 Days, and airplay on Triple J’s Short.Fast.Loud, the band’s return after four years is nothing short of explosive. Signed to Canada's People of Punk Rock Records, their debut Shelf Life made waves—Cosmic promises to flatten the shoreline.

Joining them are Aussie metal legends Frankenbok, bringing their signature chaos and freshly fired-up lineup following their explosive new EP Irrepressible. Emotional punk rockers Catholic Guilt will tug your heartstrings with their powerful, melody-rich anthems, while pop-punk newcomers Maizie serve up 2000s nostalgia with a fresh and energetic edge.

Clear your calendar & call your mates.
