Friday December 13, 9:30pm. Free Entry.
The indie surf-pop 4-piece have plenty to smile about, fresh off the steam train of 2018; touring throughout regional Australia with The Rubens and Tia Gostelow, as well as making waves in New Zealand on their ‘Bridge the Ditch’ tour. Amassing 14 million streams internationally and constantly growing their shaggy family of fans – 2019 hasn’t dimmed the spotlight either.
Since the release of their debut full length album Barefoot (2017), Shag Rock have toured the USA and embarked on multiple headline tours across sunny Australia, clocking up the miles in the band van. Following this success, they have released two singles ‘Double Life’ and ‘Fuzzy Connection’ (2018) which have evolved into full-blown party anthems. Whether they’re sung in sold out Melbourne shows, or steamy pre-work showers across the world; there is always a time for some Shag.

Sunday, December 8, 3:30pm. Free Entry.
It began in a swamp. Well, in a Tipi in a swamp, with a telephone attached to an ironbark gum. This is not fiction. This is the cold smoking truth. Guthrie delivers honest and distinctive foot stompin’ electric blues. These rugged southern gents sing songs of love, murder, vengeangce, addiction, redemption, lust, longing and loss.

+ ANNOUNCE SOPHOMORE ALBUM
APPLE CRUMBLE
OUT THIS NOVEMBER VIA SWEAT IT OUT
+ SHARE REGIONAL TOUR DATES
Sydney-based funk, soul and R&B act Winston Surfshirt today release their latest single, “Smile”paired with the announcement of their second studio album, Apple Crumble, due out this November via Sweat It Out. The six-piece celebrate the news with a fresh set of regional tour dates, as they debut their new material live across Australia this summer.
Premiered on triple j’s Good Nights, “Smile” enlists brass hooks folded with shimmying beats, enhanced by Winston’s unmistakable cocktail of sultry R&B and soul-driven vocals. More slowed-down in approach than the disco movement of recent track “Make A Move”, today’s release ties a bow on the signature mood their loyal fans crave, and is certain to crack grins and stir visions of summertime in listeners everywhere. Funk-dipped grooves and catchy rhythms point to smiling words of love, as the esteemed act get set to embark on the next round of their musical story.
Winston says of the single:“I’ve been with the same woman for 14 years and she has the most emphatic smile. I think I was always meant to write this song…”
Today’s new music and album announcement is coupled with a regional summer tour for loyal fans to get around. The eight-date leg kicks off at Langhorne Creek’s Handpicked Festival on November 9 before heading to Byron Bay’s Beach Hotel on November 15. The band next arrive at Maroochydore’s Sol Bar on November 16, followed by Spilt Milk Canberra on November 23, a Uni Bar takeover in Hobart on November 29 and a return to Spilt Milk Ballarat on November 30. Wrapping up, Bunbury’s Prince of Wales receives a dose of new music on December 6, before a final show ignites Margaret River’s Settlers Tavern on December 7.
Apple Crumble marks Winston Surfshirt’s second full-length release, following on from their applauded 2017 debut, Sponge Cake. The hit album bound together brass, hip-hop sensibilities and airy vocals to receive nods from international tastemakers, including Beats 1 host Zane Lowe, Sir Elton John, Jason Bentley (KCRW), Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart (BBC Radio 1), Lauren Laverne (BBC Radio 6), and triple j feature album.
Having developed a cult following for their smooth style and raucous live shows, the band’s unique blend of funk, soul and hip-hop originally emerged as the solo project of singer/rapper/producer Winston Surfshirt, before organically adopting other local artists and snowballing into what is now a musical collective filling each stage they grace to the brim.
From a sell-out debut national Sponge Cake tour in 2017, to festival billings at Splendour In The Grass, Spilt Milk, Falls Festival, Field Day and sold-out British & European shows, Winston Surfshirt continue to sell out crowds at home and abroad. Now with an Apple Crumble in the oven, be sure to follow the second chapter of Winston Surfshirt closely.

THE FLOORS
2019-12-06 21:30
Friday December 6th, 9:30pm. Free Entry.
“Come Unstuck”, the third full length album from The Floors was unearthed and born in a rural abode in France while the band toured Europe in 2018.
Luke Dux speaks about the writing process:
“It’s a rare thing to find all 3 of us in a room together, touring with others bands keeps us apart, which is most likely why we still tolerate each other. With no outside distractions and a plentiful supply of wine, cider, beer, hash and cheese we spent 4 days jamming and writing in a small farmhouse in the middle of the French countryside. The perfect algorithm of quintessential + cabin fever= songs.”
The album speaks the idea of growing up and coming to terms with the distortion of life’s twists and turns. The title of the album, inspired by Kurt Vonnegut, ties in with the nation that we all lose our way at some point.
The Floors previous album “Beat It Down” was recorded on an 8 track tape machine however this time, a broken tape-machine yielded an opportunity for The Floors to explore new sonic depth in their recording. A change in recording style saw the band move from live tracking, to a combination of the former, plus the added bonus of over-dubbing and more complex layering.
“The large room at Rada studios allows us to play live together and turn up as loud as we like with little bleed into the other mics. Finding the tape machine broken was a bummer at first but I think we ended up with a fuller, more realized record, rather than limiting ourselves to 8 tracks and no overdubs, like we usually do, we could record 600 plus bass guitar tracks.”
Recorded with producer Dan Carroll at Rada studios, The Floors have emerged with “Come Unstuck”; it’s all the same hard-hitting, bare-knuckled blues music you’ve come to know from The Floors, but with a few extra nuts and bolts thrown into the equation for good measure.
The album will be set free exclusively online and on vinyl August 26 th via BEAST records
