Description:
Returning from a small trip down south to play a run of shows, local three-piece Art Of The State return to their hometown to play to a Thursday night Ric's crowd.

Description:
The band formerly known as... well, almost everything you can think of, is in town for their EP launch. Their dirgy psych-ish rock will have you in a daze while they try to get you to part with your dosh to purchase one of their new-fangled CDs (vinyls coming soon for you older types).

Description:
If you had to pinpoint an influence for Brisbane’s Mr. Maps, you would be hard-pressed to narrow it down to any one artist. As an experimental act, pop songs are scrapped in favour of cleverly crafted amalgamations of sound and the result is both aurally and aesthetically pleasing.

Description:
Triple J’s greatest shame as the national youth radio broadcaster is that they don’t play enough Del Toro songs. In fact, they don’t play any Del Toro songs at all. Is it because this band doesn’t have any vocals? Is it because Triple J actually sucks? We may never really know.

Description:
Hip-hop attracts polarity. This brand of hip-hop is definitely just polar though, i.e. it’s cool. Other forms of hip-hop can be horrible. This brand of hip-hop isn’t. Instrumental wonder. In fact, forget the “hip-hop” tag, this is more so a night of billowing down-tempo beats and a collage of samples and groovy electronica.
