Self described as the first “autism-core” artist, Billiam (a.k.a. Billy “Gotta Go Fast” Twyford, whom you may know from DISCO JUNK or COLLECTIVE HARDCORE) is a frantic, off the walls, 21 year old from Melbourne who’s been yelling into mics since until his voice snaps since he was 16. Billiam has been unreasonably prolific with his brand of snotty and paranoid punk music with lots of synths, weird guitar riffs and warped sense of melody as he yells about Shadow The Hedgehog and Hall And Oates inspired nightmares. His debut LP Corner Tactics (the first time he’s released a record longer than 15 minutes in his life) is an uncompromising cacophony of riffs and spits blended into a stew poured into a bowl with a hole that’s slowly leaking onto the table.
Don´t miss his show!!!

Having made a name for himself in Nashville with squalling riffs, catchy
hooks and incendiary live shows driven by a magnetic and theatrical
persona, Gyasi (pronounced Jah-See) is a flamboyant artist who brings the
golden age of rock n’ roll into the 21st Century. Self produced and
recorded to tape in his home studio, Gyasi’s Alive Records debut vinyl full
length, “Pronounced Jah-See,” proves with his songwriting, producing,
and guitar prowess that rock and roll still has room to move forward. His
music can be described as a glorious hybrid of early David Bowie and
Marc Bolan but through a vision all his own. Raised in the woods of a West
Virginia holler by bohemian parents and currently living in Nashville, Gyasi
has been championed by rock luminaries as diverse as Rodney
Bingenheimer and Henry Rollins.

Connoisseurs of underground garage punk and punk wave will be familiar with Melbourne’s BRAT FARRAR. After releasing 5 LPs and a box load full of 45s, as well as touring far and wide, BRAT FARRAR has cemented their place in underground music circles.

Moving from London to Hollywood back in 2014, Billy Tibbals quickly found a love for the city and its esoteric, debauched history. Combining this with his childhood obsession with British rock and roll, surrealist literature, and musicals from the 1940’s, Billy’s music presents a unique and fantastical view of the world around us.
This rock’n’roll sensation has quickly emerged as one of the great young hopes of the alternative LA music scene growing around Permanent Records Roadhouse and the other cool joints where the city’s kids find their kicks these days. Billy Tibbals Band soon caught the eyes and ears of Brent Rademaker’s Curation Records whom, in 2022, releases Tibbals first single “Onwards and Upwards” produced by Reza Matin from power pop wizards the Uni Boys, Tibbals compadres on the USA youthful rock scene with Matin also doing double duty as the drummer of Billy Tibbals Band. A year later, Black Crowes-legend Chris Robinson signed them for their debut album for his label Silver Arrows Records/Sony.
It’s a pleasure and an honour to have them on stage on their first European tour

Crushing boldly into this total wreck of a future and not giving a ratʼs ass for politeness, The Anomalys are our favourie Dutch decapitators being the current and deadly lineup of skinsman Remy Pablo, Looch Vibrato (from MAGNETIX) on guitar number two lending his legendary fuzz and distortion, and our towering disaster of a leader, Bone on guitar and throat. It’s no secret that this trio is one of the most ferocious live bands on planet Earth. They pumm and twang with the power of their chaotic rockabilly-cum-garage-punk . We come to The Anomalys for one thing and one thing only: Relentless, ass shaking rockʼnʼroll.
‘Cause that’s the way we digs it, beer breath and all, ya hear?”

The Unknowns were formed in 2014 in Brisbane, Australia, initially being a trio with of Joshua Hardy from The Chats (vocals/guitar), Nathan Montgomery (bass) and Tom Butler (drums), who were later joined by Eamon Sandwith, also on The Chats, to round out the band.
The Unknowns move like a fish in water between timeless punk, garage and r’n’r with touches of power-pop.
With several singles and 2 LPs we really love under their belt, it has been the latest LP “East Cost Low” (Bargain Records 2023) the one which has “forced” us to invite them to be part of this year’s crew. The stars have aligned so we can enjoy this absolutely terrific band. Something not to be missed!!
