Passive Smoke

Formed over a conversation starter of "Do you listen to Delta 5?" at a gig in late 2014, Passive Smoke were a Canberra post punk band that were stalwarts of the mid 2010s scene.

Passive Smoke had a fragile alchemy as a band, going through 6 different drummers in their tenure, and always had a group approach to songwriting, often writing songs in the middle of conversations using each others words.

Following a pattern that is familiar for local bands they released one EP (on cassette through Cinnamon Records) played a lot of shows and eventually disbanded when some of their members moved to Melbourne. This will be their 1st show in a decade

Oranges

Rare outing from a long standing gem of a Canberra band Oranges. Soaring melodies, spare guitars and percussion and vocal harmonies that cut to the heart. Oranges features members of Pocket Fox, Finger Your Friends, and Big Splash

Her songwriting ranges over subject matter from the everyday handled with a depth and level of craft that has earned her shows alongside some of Australias most celebrated songwriters, like Courtney Barnett, RVG and Darren Hanlon.
