After a 10 year hiatus, Half bent is back. Half Bent is a community music project. From 2003-2016 under the Half Bent banner, they presented festivals, concerts, happenings, recordings and all things Half Bent.
For this return they will be presenting new groups with new friends in a new gig space. 4th Scout Hall Brunswick. A cosy scout hall nestled in Jacobs Reserve on Melville Road. (between Albion & Moreland Rd). The idea is to come together and listen to great music made by locals in a new space. Join us!

A soul jazz quartet of Brunswick locals built around the iconic, warm, sometimes gritty sound of the Hammond organ. Along with Adrian Whitehead on Hammond Organ, the band features Gideon Brazil – Saxophone, Jim Green – Guitar, and Ronny Ferella – Drums. Together they are inspired by the classic 60s soul jazz era and they blend bluesy roots with deep grooves to make rich textures, irresistible rhythms, and present a fresh take on vintage sounds. Who knows what might happen to your feet…
ADDRESS: 14A Jolley St, Brunswick West – in Jacobs Reserve, off Melville Rd.
