TRAFFIC JAM 4.0 - We're back with a semi trailer

Just kidding. We're back with a line up that speaks for itself....


Traffic Jam is the music festival held on the back of a truck parked on King

Street, Newtown. On the cool side of the street @ Garden Lounge Creative

Space.

Lochie Earl
The man the legend and the musical master mind behind the Gypsies of Pangea is back to play his solo show. With a display of multi-tasking that makes the ladies swoon; you can catch him afterwards at the townie too, this guy doesn't sleep.

Jordan Kenny
Breaking hearts and conventions Traffic Jam favourite Jordan Kenny is back, fresh off the release of new single '(I) Blew The Sun Away' and recent signing to the Indica label. If you haven't already listened to it 100 times on spotify I highly recommend it.

DIP
The appropriate response to all this absurdity.

Cosy Bosom
Local favorites Cosy Bosom are the brewers and distributors of a sickly sinister-reggae sound distilled with diabolical doses of spooky ska.

Siphon
Bass and drums punk duo with a huge sound. The energy from these guys is impossible to not love. 5 stars for dancing.

Smoky, The Musical
Master mind behind the madness, she's Judy Garland with a Tom Waits problem. A variety of musical influences manifest in an over-reliance on diminished chords to create interest, blues explosions, confronting themes and whimsical comedy.

Sunset Place
Fresh off release 'Still Mourning' this band of gypsies are spreading their sweet soul jam all over our stage. Think Hiatus Kaiyote meets Jordan Rakei.

NO CIGARETTES
The best band you've ever heard in your life. Punk poet Matias and band are steadily developing a cult following in the inner west. Recently published author in his hometown, he's a man of many lives, many wives, and always shrouded in muscle shirt and mystery.

The Blind Venetians
Chill vibes for smooth rides, Multi instrumentality Ramon Briant and band blend neo soul harmonies and hip hop with latin rhythms and cosmic vibrations.

Bobby Bowring
Its Xanax, spandex, alcohol and cigarettes; Master mind behind the legendary Jim Morrison diet, Bobby Bowring sounds like the love child of Morrissey and Elvis Presley if he grew up to look like Robert Plant. Love this shit.

Jenny Douglas
Prolific singer, pianist and songwriter Jenny Douglas is making her debut on the Traffic Jam stage. Bringing to mind Kate Bush and Regina Spektor this is songwriting at its finest.

The Useful Box
Brain child of our gracious host and esteemed poet Michael Aiken.
