It’s an alt-country Sunday at the Brunswick Ballroom!

Good Corn Liquor (NSW) are on tour, bringing their mix of country, blues, and bluegrass to The Brunswick Ballroom this February. With over 600 gigs under their belt, the band, which has been playing together since their teens, knows how to put on a high-energy show. After a tragic car accident in 2015 that claimed the life of their lead singer, Stu McKenzie, and left other members injured, the band made a strong return to the stage. They recently released their third EP, recorded in Newcastle and mixed by Steve Newton (John Williamson, Troy Cassar-Daley, Alan Caswell), with the lead single The Junction signaling a triumphant comeback.

Joining them are Melbourne's The Smith and Western Jury, blending alt-country with punk rock energy. Their debut album Hotel Texas (out June 2024) is already generating buzz with its heartache and grit. Also on the bill are Wild Dog Mountains, an exciting Melbourne-based act known for their unique blend of alt-country and Australiana, born out of a backyard shed in Thornbury.

Don’t miss this high-energy afternoon of country, blues, and bluegrass—three bands, one unforgettable show!

Pioneering new realms of modern, psychedelic country sounds, Lost Ragas announce new live shows.
Showcasing tracks from their most recent album, This Is Not A Dream, a collection of stellar tunes showcasing the mastery of the band at a whole new level. Expect songs of cosmic flight, a psychedelic jungle, imprisoned men and boxing legends, and dance amongst the wild guitars and interstellar pedal steel.    

Lost Ragas have become infamous on the Melbourne scene, and their electrifying live shows are something to behold.
The band was born a few years back when Matt Walker was touring his album In Echoes Of Dawn. A solo recording which he then wished to expand on, in live performance. Enter Shane Reilly. The two crossed paths while playing with Tex Perkins and discovered that in down time on the road they would sit around jamming and writing songs. Both bringing their swag of swagger to the coffee table to produce something entirely new.

A notable element of the live show is the guitar interplay between the two and the sparks that fly once they hit the stage. On bass is Roger Bergodaz who has been a long time friend and collaborator of Matt and Shane's...Although known as a first class drummer it is worth mentioning that Roger chose to play bass in this band, and once he placed his note, who could argue? Finally on the tubs there is Haydn Meggitt. Playing a slow burn groove while singing harmonies as sweet as a bird. Haydn joined the line up for the bands most recent album, taking over from original drummer Simon Burke.

As all members of Lost Ragas individually work with an impressive roster of other bands, it is needless to say that when the planets align and they find themselves on the road together again, it is cause for rejoice.
They can transform a room. Don't you dare miss them!
