The quartet dives into a mess of psychedelic blues, filled to the gills with fuzzed up guitars and sturdy songwriting. These songs evoke a time in music history when rock was getting really loud but before metal became a dedicated genre. Polly Coufos, The Australian Demon Blues represents the pair’s unbridled passion for guitar-soaked boogie and giant riffs that get up in ya face from album opener Out With the Tide and stay there through the garage stomp of `60s-heavy You Ain’t No Friend of Mine to the lazy, hazy psych of Another Planet.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets | MR PRISM TOUR
2020-09-12 21:30
SOLD OUT

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets + Pot Plant House Party + Grace Sanders SOLD OUT! Saturday 12th September. Please do not fall…
Posted by Settlers Tavern Margaret River on Tuesday, 8 September 2020

PPC play a handful of WA shows to celebrate the release of their brand new track Mr.Prism – these will be the band’s first headline shows of 2020, get your ticket so you don’t miss out.
Take the trail out of Perth via Leederville and keep on driving, and you might just stumble across an old horse shed – one where weirdness roams free. Across the bridge from said shed, house parties rage until the early hours and beyond, while around the corner there’s a sky-high pile of trash that acts as a makeshift home for the local rat population. It’s here, amongst jam sessions that would last six-hours plus, that the wacky, sprawling sound of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets was born. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ night-long jam sessions and unconventional abodes are just the tip of their iceberg of happy accidents.
Jack and pals needed something visceral. “We took the harder approach – big riffs,” he says with an audible grin, “When you’re on a site for six days a week, it’s nice to get back in the evening and go ‘RAAAAARGH’ into a mic.” That primal, intuitive style followed them through to their live shows, which would see the band writing a song one evening, and playing it in the local pubs the following night, inciting mosh-pits and wig-outs with barely a pause for breath.
That unforgettable name is yet another example of their go-it-alone approach – “I wanted something memorable like marmite – you either love it or you hate it,” laughs Jack. One thing’s for sure – the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ tale is already one for the ages.

The River Bugs
2020-03-08 15:00
From a wide range of musical backgrounds, Margaret River’s RiverBugs share a common love of swing era jazz standards with a sprinkling of rhythm and blues. Since forming in 2017 they have a great following in the south west.
Singer Janine Andrews came from a professional jazz background in Paris before settling in Margaret River. Bassist Viv Booker is a veteran of the Perth Jazz scene and Scott Wise on guitar, vocals and occasional blues harmonica is a newcomer to the band’s jazz repertoire but has a long history in blues, rock and folk music circles. Together they make a unique combination as a trio and whenever they can, they pull in Louise Marsh on saxophone and drummer Gary Larkin.

And this guy can sing! A great, strong, clear and articulate voice. His performance had 100% commitment with the intensity of tightly wound steel spring.

Kallidad
2020-03-06 21:30

Kallidad is one of Australia’s hardest working bands, constantly crisscrossing the great southern land, spreading their music and engaging with the land itself. The lineup is simple two Spanish guitars and percussion. But don’t let the lightweight set up fool you! These three amigos can rock a crowd from top to bottom.
The group has released five albums independently, proudly turning their backs on the establishment music industry and developing a tight, direct bond with their insanely loyal audience.
Major festivals such as Montreux Jazz Festival, Open Air St. Gallen, Splendor in the Grass, Falls Festival, Party in the Paddock and other mainstream festivals, plus many smaller indie events, have booked Kallidad, easily spotting the group’s formidable talent. Kallidad
was also voted “Most Popular Band” at Italy’s Ferrara Festival- the world’s premier street music competition! The three amigos live and breathe music and their live show is a testament to their obsession with the craft of connection.

Empire Blues
2020-02-23 15:30
Empire Blues is an established, dynamic Blues Power trio whose primary influences come from the British Blues invasion of the 1960s. Initially the band took its material from this period, but over time it has moved to performing more original material in the belief that for Blues music to evolve, you cant keep just repeating the past.
Formed in 2005 the band features prominent Western Australian Blues musicians:
Andrew McIlroy (guitar/vocal) Alan Dawson (bass guitar/vocal) Frank Shinall (drums)
All three musicians have been stalwarts of the Perth music scene for many years.
High-energy blues is very much the staple of the band, which has a well-earned reputation for lifting the roof off many a blues venue. The band also brings together more traditional elements to many of its songs through the use of Dobro-slide guitar, fretless bass and brushes on the drums for an acoustic (not roots) blues feel.
Together with great original tracks from their two full length CD releases, Empire Blues (self Titled) & Blue Diamonds, the band also covers material from, John Mayall, Eric Clapton/Cream, The Rolling Stones, Robin Trower, The Animals and many other great British blues artists.

The Milkmen
2020-02-22 21:30
The Milkmen – A 4 piece acoustic rock band based in Perth, Western Australia

Once upon a time, the Milkmen were those that used to deliver cold fresh milk at the doorsteps of your house: empty bottles left with coins to pay for more milk. Turn the page of history to today and The Milkmen are not what you think.
The Milkmen are indeed an indie acoustic rock band playing original material based in Perth WA. Listen closely and you can hear years of blended velvet sounding ballads, driving rhythms, catchy and thoughtful lyrics which take the listener from original folk/blues/indie rock/pop to foot tapping pure rock. When asked to categorize their style, says the band “Genres are boundaries so we don’t like to define our style. We’re all about good music with captivating lyrics”.

Dosed
2020-02-15 21:30
Carving through the alt-rock scene with their clean and vibrant sound, Dosed are a trio known for their contagious and high-energy presence on stage. Bringing back their own shaken-up adaption of 90’s rock, their music is stripped down to the essentials and has a similar sense of familiarity, but blends in elements of funk, punk, reggae and ska. At the forefront of a diverse range of influences are the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sublime. This deadly combo results in their bold, groovy tunes undeniably alluring all to the dance floor.
The band features Oskar Campbell on guitar and vocals, Noah Webbe on bass and Rory Stirton on drums. As friends, these three go as far back as you can get without sharing the same last name. All growing up on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and all sharing the same interest in music meant their frequent jams at parties inevitably formed a band. Since officially launching onto digital streaming services with ‘Too Crazy’ in July 2018, they’ve been stacking up plays on community radio across Australia, and have landed on popular Spotify playlists that reach out internationally to both the US and the UK.
