2025-06-01 15:00 - 18:00 (Australia/Perth) | Settlers Tavern, 114 Bussell Hwy, Margaret River, WA, 6285, Australia
The Sinnermatics are time travellers from the dawn of rock’n’roll. They hail from an age when the sound of youth rebellion exploded like a bomb. An era where people dressed as sharply as the fins on the stylish cars they drove.
Rockabilly was a primal strain of this new dangerous music, fusing black rhythm and blues with white country styles, pioneered by Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley
The Sinnermatics play rock’n’roll as its originators intended.
The band consists of Margaret River residents lead singer Peter Jones, and amazing lead guitarist Inti Velazquez ((lead guitar). Double bass wizard Leon Pratt, drummer John Flint complete the line up.
The Sinnermatics Rockabilly band perform regularly in Perth at The Mustang Bar, Alabama Song Bar, The Ellington Jazz Club, Honky Tonk Blues and Bar Orient in Fremantle, as well as many other venues. The band also recently played to a packed audience at The Arts Margaret River Community Sundowner in Pioneer Park, Cowaramup and AFL Grand Final day at Settler’s Tavern.
Expect to enjoy a high energy performance from these talented musicians with music that will keep you on your feet.

Fresh of their recent national tour, The Satisfaction return to Settlers Tavern for a surprise show comprised of all of the electrifying (and somewhat chaotic) Rock n Roll one’s heart can handle.

EMPIRE BLUES
2025-09-07 15:00 - 18:00
Empire Blues – Duo an offshoot of the prominent Perth Blues band “Empire Blues” which formed in 2005. As the title suggests it is an unplugged duo version of the band with Andrew McIlroy on acoustic, electric and dobro guitars/vocals and Alan Dawson on fretless bass, upright stick bass and vocals. Andrew and Alan have performed hundreds of shows together with an infectious familiarity in their playing styles and in the past, have supported countless interstate and overseas artists.
The same principals of Empire Blues apply in that a considerable percentage of the songs focus on humour, social comment and Western Australia.

MOSSY FOG
2025-09-13 21:00 - 23:30
Perth swamp lords Mossy Fogg have been stomping down the hallways of the WA music scene and beyond since their formation in 2014.

Vocalist Turin Robinson was already something of an industry veteran by this time, and the initial line-up came together to band up on his solo songs. They evolved, however, into a rusty mix of rock, blues, roots, folk and scrap iron that is collectively known as Mossy Fogg.

There’s a damn big voice in that there Robinson’s throat. It’s been fuelled by whisky and a life told in song. His growl is underscored by Dom Barrett’s weaving, stabbing guitar and the hell-broke-loose rumble of Callum Morrison’s bass and Andy Pearson’s drumset.

The results are real, raw and thoroughly alluring. Triple j’s Dave Ruby Howe in a four-star review for Weeping Willow stated it was ‘so authentic it ought to come with its own moonshine’. ABC Country Music Programmer/Producer, Kath Devaney was equally effusive, proclaiming, ‘… the swamp is missing an angel! This is smart psychedelic prog swamp blues rock and I had no idea Perth was harbouring the next great Australian band’.

Weeping Willow was also nominated for a WAM Song Of The Year award in the ‘Blues & Roots’ category and featured on Mossy Fogg’s second EP Stagnant, which they pulled from their ever-mutating swamp in 2021. At odds with its title, the EP represented a rebirth of the band, with an evolved line-up and a bigger sound to match.

They are influenced by – but not beholden to – Tom Waits, Timber Timbre, Hozier and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, bringing elements of noiseful beauty and rough charm into their compelling live shows.

TURIN ROBINSON
2025-09-14 15:00 - 18:00
To say Turin Robinson is a veteran of the Perth music scene is an understatement. Turin has made a name for himself with his Tom Waits inspired blues, roots and hip hop vibes. Turin grooves and growls his way throughout WA and beyond turning heads wherever he goes.
Fronting original band Mossy Fogg and cover band Pimp Whiskers, Turin brings a vast variety of unique versions of songs to the unsuspecting listener.
