Chapter Music ventures into the dark, dystopian present for Now Or Never at the Curtin Hotel. 

Joshua Wells & Karina Utomo are legends in their respective fields - Karina's work in projects High Tension, KILAT and Rinuwat has redefined metal in Australia, while as Nerve, Joshua has released dark, percussive electronica for labels like Butter Sessions and A Colourful Storm. Together they fuse live rhythm experiments with extreme metal vocals, and have just finished a sold out Australian tour supporting Health (US).

Over the last two decades, Fabulous Diamonds have built an ever-evolving, ever-engrossing world like no other, based around treated vocals, percussion and swirling electronics. They have toured the world and been released by legendary labels Alter (UK), Siltbreeze (US), including two albums for Chapter Music. Their most recent work Plain Songs (Alter/Research Records) drew them out of an extended period of reclusivity, and they have recently made a welcome return to live performance.

NPCEDE are one of Chapter's favourite new live bands, a sonic and visual assault that always gets the heart pumping. Blending 80s German industrial chaos with elements of shoegaze and modern rap, they have played The Eighty Six Festival and shared stages with Teether, CLAMM and Shady Nasty.
