Jo Meares’ Silver Bullets launched their debut album in 2024.
Back seat Mafia review:-
"This is a magnificent album. Steeped in an antipodean dusty dryness yet leavened by bright rays of sunshine and Meares's eloquent poetry that strike like shards of lightning. Jo Meares' Silver Bullets take us on an extraordinary journey into the heart of darkness: a swampy gothic paradise laced with white frills and blood red velvet. His voice is an unguent, a salve that at the same time hypnotises and mesmerises, drags you into a beautiful stunning abyss" – Arun Kendall
They will play an extra special matinee performance of that album and other songs featuring the single release ‘Neil Young Saved My Life’
The Silver Bullets feature the explosive and brilliant guitar work of Mark McCartney, the groove and passion of the phenomenal upright bass player Mark Carson, the hauntingly beautiful saw and backing vocals of Charlie Barker and wonderfully powerful Scott Bennett on drums.
Legendary Melbourne Sand Pebbles released their eighth album ‘the Antagonist’ last year. Featuring glorious psychedelic guitars and cello they are hypnotic, cosmic, kinetic and freewheeling. This is a band who have toured/played with Luna, Primal Scream, Tame Impala, Sonic Boom, The Wedding Present, Ed Kuepper, Arthur Lee & Love and more.If those artists are in your wheelhouse, you’ll find something to love in the Sand Pebbles.
