BED WETTIN' BAD BOYS
Sydney’s #1 party band are back in Melbourne launching their four track debut 7” on R.I.P Society Records. Think indie rock before indie rock meant you were a sweater wearing nerd (aka Replacements, Dinosaur Jr, Meat Puppets) with undertones of glam (more Slade than Bowie), power pop and hard rock. Held together by wild guitar, overdriven bass lines and a lewd, punk attitude (definitely not college rock). You might recognise Joe as the bass player from Royal Headache, Nic as the guy that put the thing in his mouth in Circle Pit and Ben as an elite sporting hero.

SOUTHERN COMFORT
New band from Angela Bermuda (Circle Pit / Straight Arrows) and Harriet Hudson (Downtown / Circle Pit) playing timeless songs based around their hypnotic reverb soaked guitar sound and duel angelic vocals. A real Velvet Underground drone rock vibe with a classic rock/country flavour. First Melbourne tour!

P.S. Both gals play a mean lead guitar (like Neil Young mean) and are really good looking young blonde women.

WOOLLEN KITS
Local house band at the Empress for the weekend! These guys seem to get compared to is Beat Happening, which is fair and all but somewhat limiting. Woollen Kits surpass the “twee” thing because a) actually have good songs and b) they’ve got a stompin’ garage energy with some killer surf guitar lines. Would most likely appeal to fans of the Modern Lovers (i.e. pretty much everyone).

BITCH PREFECT
Three funs guys from Adelaide, one of which being the truly radical miracle that is Scott Ohara (also of Lindsey Low Hand). From the videos and all reports Pat and Liam are also totally bodacious dudes with moves worthy of your attention. Great off-beat, humbling guitar pop for fans of The Clean, Pavement, Eat Skull, Kitchen’s Floor.

Master of Ceremonies MARCUS RECHSTEINER of The UV Race will be hosting the event and helping everyone have a great time. With Marcus on board there is no doubt in my mind this will be a truly excellent rock show, one from the history books!

P.S. There’ll be a bunch of R.I.P Society Records releases on sale on the night. Alongside the new Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys 7” we’ll have the new Kitchen’s Floor - Regrets 7” for sale, a repress of Sydney garage-punks Straight Arrows debut 7” and the debut 7” from Royal Headache. BRING HEAPS OF MONEY.
