Lineup
FUNGAS
Fungas craft infuses deep elements of psych, punk, and garage, consistently diversifying their tone to all those that choose to engage in their psychedelic sound-bath. Fungas's energetic live shows continue to encapsulate their new art madness with constant rhythmic changes stylised with experimental sounds of mellotron, trip percussion and lots of delay.
Lineup
Media Puzzle
Led by the magnetic Tom Peter, the prolific lo-fi post-punk band out of Australia.. What began as a joke in regional New South Wales has quickly evolved into something far more expansive. Now based in Melbourne and operating as a full band, media puzzle are moving away from the tightly wound, drum machine-driven chaos of their early releases and into a broader, more unpredictable sound. With fourth album New Racehorse marking a clear shift in approach, Tom and co. are embracing live instrumentation, jangle-pop textures and a more open-ended way of writing, without losing the sharp humour and restless energy that defines the project.
Jack Griffith (Pist Idiots)
You might know Jack as the frontman of the @pist.idiots but he'll be comin at ya all by himself with new songs and a big heart of gold
Poltergeist 9000
Hailing from the rugged creative landscape of Nipaluna (Hobart), Poltergeist 9000 is a high-decibel synth-punk duo that exists at the volatile intersection of visual art and visceral noise made up of Iggy Clue & Cal 9000. Built on a foundation of DIY ethos and raw experimentation, the band takes the classic drum-and-bass duo format and pushes it through a blender of hyper-energetic punk and industrial grit. Drawing inspiration from the frantic architecture of Lightning Bolt, the genre-bending audacity of The Garden, and the electronic carnage of The Prodigy and Atari Teenage Riot, Poltergeist 9000 creates a blistering sound After a prolific 2024 defined by the release of two full-length albums—Warhol’s Kiss and I Can See Pam and Her Legendary Hands—the band signaled a bold new era in late 2025. Their most ambitious project to date, the collaborative EP Higher Frequencies, was forged alongside close friend and creative ally Finlay Ross. ‘A blistering combination of sound that bridges the gap between a DIY garage session and a 90s underground rave’ - Thanks for Coming
Stupid Baby
STUPID BABY is three long-time friends Jake Dobson, Eli Milojkovic and Will Glencross. Taking cues from the likes of Parquet Courts, Ceremony and The Melvins, STUPID BABY are an intense and thought-provoking slice of sophisticated post-punk. After starting in 2019, the band have toured and shared stages with the likes of The Chats, Pist Idiots, Skeggs, Ocean Alley, Polish Club and WAAX. '
Darty

BIG HECK
Big Heck is the project of Dil Harré, a poet, support worker, producer etc. The big heck band is Lucy howroyd, Millie Lynch, Hunter Auzins, Dan Radomsky & Dil Harré, they create a force of digital oddity, spoken word & walls of sound to distract you from your misery. Dil Harré is a year and a half sober, and Big Heck is the project that is healing through creation. There's an energy through the upcoming LP that is chaos being allowed to run free without regret, with full conviction, a rabbit skipping in trust of a vision
SHACKED
At its core, Shacked! is about balance. The balance between huge apsycheliptic riffage and uplifting power ballads; tight, kinetec bursts and sludgy, layered textures; evil grooves and righteous dissonance. They're balancing two negatives to make a positive, to the top to be imperative and too original to be derivate. Between hours on the worksite and days on the water, they find themselves spread symmetrically across the stage. Balancing subtle inside jokes and blinding green outfits, like finding your footing on your board before getting pummelled by a shorie. This is Shacked!
Sienna Smith
Singer songwriter Central Coast//East Coast located
Greg Normal
Greg Normal is a proper third wheel band. Trudy & Jarrin + Brad. GN, born in 2026, has started to, and will continue to, release uniquely original ditties in a matter-of- fact way; switching between serious issues and made up fictional nonsenses. For fans of 3-bedroom fibros, Andrew Callaghan’s YouTube output and Wilco’s lead guitar lines off the album Yankee Foxtrot Hotel.
