The Neptune Power Federation (NSW):

Like all great threats to decency, the church of The Neptune Power Federation was born far from the tired gaze of the masses. Operating out of dive bars and biker clubhouses, playing to troubled souls with dirty hair and crude intentions, their high volume psychedelic gospel spreads like a glorious subterranean infection.

Seedy Jeezus:

Once referred to as “The Bearded Shamen of Riffology” Seedy Jeezus take the beast that is 60s psych and meld it to the throbbing corpse of 70s rock. Renowned for never playing the same show twice and breaking off into ferocious jams and improvisations. “What the audience receives is a fully fledged rock and roll demon leaping down from the stage and racing around the room” - Sarah Kidd, Ambient Light.

Nuada:

Sludgy, groovy, B-tuned riffs, spacey guitar solos, and big hooks, Nuada is a band comprised of Melbourne rock stalwarts.
