Event description

Live Slug Reaction is a 5-piece groove band that takes influence from anything they can get their greedy tentacles on. Ripping sounds and grooves from electronic, jazz-funk and the Australian psych-rock revival to create original contemporary compositions of moody soundscapes and danceable tracks that leave no head unbobbed and no mossy textural stone unturned.

The five Slugs have played with acclaimed local acts across genres, including Majak Door, Tell Mama, No News, Marlin Kites and Sons of Zoku. Recommended for fans of Surprise Chef, BADBADNOTGOOD and having fun.

Featuring:

  • Daniel Penberthy – saxophone
  • Heath Oetjen – percussion
  • James Nisbet – drums
  • Carl Smith – bass
  • Finn Larcombe – electric guitar
