Songs for MND Victoria is a day of live music led by Thom Johnston and an incredible lineup of local musicians and collaborators, all coming together to raise funds and awareness for MND Victoria. This special event is more than just a normal festival - it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and charity.

Featuring a rich mix of musical styles including folk, country, rock, blues, and pop, the day promises something for everyone. Whether you’re a supporter of live local music or simply looking for a way to spend your Saturday, this event offers a good excuse to see some great acts for an even better cause.

Coinciding with the event is the release of a special compilation album, featuring original songs written and performed by each artist involved. The album will be available to purchase on BandCamp, with physical CDs also on sale at the venue - another way to support the cause and take home a piece of the day.

Whether you have a personal connection to motor neurone disease or just want to support an important cause while discovering great music, Songs for MND Victoria is a powerful reminder of what music and community can achieve together.

Over the last few years, Gold Coast's HAMMERS have fast become one of Australia's most tirelessly active and difficult to categorise purveyors of the heavies in the country. 

The release of their three recent singles Top Fun, F*cked Around and Found Out and Traps all display a textural bandwidth and complexity that defies pigeonholing within the heavy rock and metal realm, throwing pangs of exciting anticipation towards their forthcoming debut full-length, aptly titled Death Wobbles (due for release late 2025).

Anthemic, riff driven post-hardcore, alternative hooks by the fistful and pit-dwelling beatdowns... all dancing on the edge of where rock'n'roll falls hard for metal.  Apparently delivering everything you want in a song might actually be achievable?!

This Spring, armed with new material and a fire in the belly like never before, the lads hit the road on their ‘The Moment of Struth Tour’.  They’ll bash out not just the three singles, but additionally showcase a handful of unheard material across venues up and down the East Coast of Oz, following recent tours of New Zealand and Japan.

Be the first to hear Hammers' freshly crafted bangers, up close and personal.  It's been a hot minute and the boys are back and ready to rage!  Do not miss these shows. 

Appearing with Arabella and the Heist and Fron.
