JESS SHREDS & THE UNMADE BEDS - 'POTATO O'CLOCK' EP LAUNCH

What time is it?  Potato O’Clock.

Hailing from Melbourne’s west, Jess Shreds and the Unmade Beds have been described (by themselves) as Mid-West Footscray Emo. Somewhat grunge, somewhat punk, always feminist, this trio formed in 2023 after bonding over how great their dogs are - as well as their connection to making music.

Potato O’Clock is the band's first release after a lot of time spent writing and finding the right people who share the vision to see it through. This EP voices the bands’ experience of the banalities of life, falling in love, mental ill-health, women’s rights; as well as telling the tale of a dumpling fuelled adventure through Footscray (the characters appearing in this work are fictitious, any resemblance to actual persons is probably coincidental). Potato O’clock gives determinate hope to the difficulties of life; finding passion, comradery, and humour in the chaos of our time.

The band is led by songwriter Jess on guitar and vocals; Imarney on bass and angelic backup vocals; and Luke on drums and lower backup vocals.  Join them at Mamma Chen's on Saturday 28th of November to launch the EP along with friends Abselom, The Bad Health and Benny Alright.  Tickets $15+BF or $20 with a CD and digital download.

Mamma Chen’s acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
