The Calabrians & The T-Bones

The Calabrians bring a uniquely Australian hard rock edge to the stage, driven by the legendary Pip Pupillo, co-founder and frontman of veteran alt-country/rock band The T-Bones. With over 35 years of experience, Pip's distinctive voice and style are unmistakable. Teaming up with Baz Valance, a skilled guitarist with a metal background, The Calabrians deliver a high-energy sound influenced by iconic bands like AC/DC, Sunnyboys, Radiobirdman, and REM.

The combination of Pip's rough, emotive style and Baz's slick, metal-infused guitar work has created something truly special. The Calabrians' music is a testament to the enduring power of Australian rock, with songs that explore themes of heartbreak, isolation, and everyday life. With their unique sound and wealth of experience, The Calabrians are a force to be reckoned with in the Australian rock scene.

Capturing the essence of the moment by making a connection with instruments, environment, body and soul: The Tangled Orbits are a group of adventurers, traveling together into the undiscovered depths of the moment filled with groove and harmonic energy.

The funky jazz fusion experiment, led by trumpet player Gabe Smale, is delivering their very own improvisational style of performance, gearing up with a slightly different lineup every time.

Like musical astronauts orbiting Naarm’s most hidden jazz bars, live music venues and festivals, the Tangled Orbits are delivering a unique and unusual performance every time by embracing the unique character of every musician.
