Third Eye Stimuli is a Sydney / Wollongong based independent record label, bringing you far out sounds from Australia and beyond. The label was founded by friends Josh White and Rick Snowden around 2014/15 when living together in a tiny apartment in Bondi Beach, Sydney, when they were performing in their first band The Grease Arrestor. In mid-2016, the label shared it's first vinyl release — The Jim Mitchell’s debut EP 'Planet Absorbed'. From then on the roster has grown rapidly with new recruits Luke Spook, Rosa Maria, Joe Ghatt (NZ), The Uplifting Bell Ends, Noodle House, Sunfruits, The Oogars, PEEL, The Laurels, Chet Sounds, The Flamingo Jones and a slew of others becoming part of the weird and wonderful family. Third Eye Stimuli celebrates an eclectic sonic palette born from an appreciation for sounds of the late 60s and 70s. A place for anyone obsessed with today’s Aussie garage and psychedelic movements, authentic folk tunes and country twangs, disco beats and freaky grooves.

GIMMY - The solo project of Byron Region female artist, GIMMY (pronounced "gimmie") brings adiverse flavour to the table with sways of surf-garage, indie-rock and glimpses of folk.Alongside her band consisting of Samson Radici (guitar), Kyle Aubrey (bass) and BarclayIsrael (drums), GIMMY delivers a raw authentic sound with heavily lyrical songwriting and vibrato vocals that captivates crowds with a charismatic stage performance.“My music is a representation of my raw expression in all its diverse forms.

The Uplifting Bell Ends -Certainly not shy of owning a stage,The Uplifting Bell Ends(aka“The Bell Ends”)are renowned for their chaotic, yet charismatic live shows and have gained more than cult level adoration in the Australian psychedelic folk-rock scene since their albums ‘World Music’ and ‘Super Giant’ were released back in 2015. The Uplifting Bell Ends' effortlessly cool lofi approach to music making and performing is guaranteed to warm the hearts of any listener. The band is an eccentric cast of pranksters that have a special chemistry that can only come from true friends. Frontman James French, is the band's artistic visionary who's poetic prowess and stage banter never disappoints. Bell Ends originals, Jack Whittingham and Luke Moroney bring guitar antics that can not be tamed and retro musical genius, Chet Tucker (Chet Sounds) has taken the band's song writing to a whole new level. Let's not forget Josh Stone ("Stoney") who's casual appearances on bass guitar are always solid. The Bell Ends recording process is all in house, allowing the full extent of their explorations and experimentations to be reproduced in their true character, mirroring the band's unpredictable, yet reliably entertaining, live shows. Every record to date has been tracked in Moroney's family home in South Sydney, where the band usually takes over the living room for a few weeks (or until they get kicked out). Over the years the ‘Super Giant’ albums have become collectable artifacts, with a steady stream of plays and record sales across the three albums. At first listen one might struggle to assign the Bell Ends' sound to a particular era or influence, owing to their true originality—we’d rather leave it up to interpretation. The Uplifting Bell Ends forthcoming 5th album 'Super Giant IV' is set for release on September30th, 2022 and the band is calling this record;“the finale of the Super Giant saga”.

Hot Apple Band - Sydney's 60s/70s imbued soft rock, alt-country and folk project fronted byinner west multi instrumentalists, Jack Kinder and Lewis Mosley. Weaving a lush sound with vintage authenticity, HAB brings the brilliance of GeorgeHarrison, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Harry Nilsson into the modern day, like Daniel Romano, Weyes Blood , and The Lemon Twigs. Formerly known as Noodle House ,the project began in 2018 as a solo venture of guitar and vocalist Jack Kinder, with Lewis Mosley quickly becoming an integral part of the band’s sound, bringing his unforgettable lead and slide guitar playing. Fitting with its title ,So Long ,Noodle House, their 2023 debut album is a symbolic sign of the band’s days as “Noodle House ” and an exciting introduction to what’s to come from Hot Apple Band. A collection of 11 tracks that cover broad ground, the duo bring together colourful 70s alt-country and catchy Beatles-era pop, emotive folk and melodic soft rock. Coming-of age themes run through the songs, as Jack’s lyrics touch on life changes, friendships, love, shitty jobs and growing up. Having played alongside the likes of Leah Senior, Bones and Jones, Caitlin Harnett &The Pony Boys, Andy Golledge, Sunfruits, The Uplifting Bell Ends and many others, Hot Apple Band's live ensemble is comprised of Jack Kinder, Lewis Mosley, Charlie Waldren, Hayden Fanning, Jake Sandercock-Brown and Jack Hawley, who translate the recorded material into a lush live sound that is both charming and impressive.
