This heavy groove combo from Melbourne will take you on an abstruse journey into the darker fringes of instrumental music, drifting from funk to spiritual jazz and through to psychedelic fuzz rock. The Seven Ups are your soundtrack to the dancefloor at the end of the world.

After a fiery set closing the High Country Hop Festival in 2023, the band are coming back to Beechworth to launch their fifth album, A Free Blowing Wind. The new album is a deep dive in to the lesser-known-places of instrumental music. Singles 'Old World Monkeys' and 'Monoliths' are mature takes on the band's classic heavy-funk sound that has seen them become stalwarts on the Melbourne music scene over the last 13 years. Meanwhile, the band stretch out on the long-form instrumental tracks 'A Free Blowing Wind' and 'A Cosmic Scale', taking listeners on a meandering journey from deep psychedelic grooves to lush plateaus and onwards to aggressive fuzz rock.

The Seven Ups have become a regular on the touring circuit playing festivals including Meredith, Womadelaide, Blues on Broadbeach, Riverboats, Queenscliff and more. The bands music has music has been featured in Wax Poetics (USA), album of the week (thrice!) on PBS FM and Beat magazine, top 10 on RRR and top 10 on KEXP (USA).
