Come groove with us at Mamma Chen’s for an eclectic night of sound!

Gecko is a kickass alt-rock trio, blending together fundamentals of punk, rock and jazz to
create their unique sound. Drawing inspiration from their own musical influences and time
studying jazz at Monash University, the band explores each-others’ odd experiences and
chaotic energy in their songwriting and blends punky and velvety vocals alongside punchy
riffs and catchy melodies. Beneath their sometimes intense and always captivating
performances, Gecko is, beneath it all, quirky and fun.

Rooted in the rich rhythms of the African continent and uplifted by global grooves, Sub Sol
bring a powerful fusion of afrobeat, highlife, jazz and soul to every stage they step on. Led by
the nigerian-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tobi, the group channels a timeless
energy through polyrhythmic percussion, funky basslines and groovy melodies that ignite
dance floors and uplifts the spirit.

Dërty Bërd is a Naarm-based, soulful/funky-reggae syndicate composed of mellifluous
vocalists, earthy-toned brass players and a rhythm section that thrives on a dance-floor
atmosphere. Dërty Bërd is an eight-piece collective that borrows elements from afro-beat, ska,
funk, soul and jazz and weaves them into one, attaining a sound akin to a love-child of Fat
Freddy’s Drop, The Shaolin Afronauts, Jorja Smith and The Fearless Flyers.
