Talking Heads influenced Indie art rockers PHOEBE’S DREAM (siblings Phil and John Smarty) are excited to be sharing new songs live from an upcoming 2025 album and playing songs from their back catalogue in their first live appearance in a year. (Big thanks to Archie Greagen for filling in on drums for the night). (10.15-11pm)
Also playing is a new Melbourne band called TRANSIENT BLUE.
The band is Moris (guitar) from Rain Factory, John Smarty (bass and guitar) from Phoebe’s Dream, emerging singer Oliver Smarty and Archie Greagen on drums. TRANSIENT BLUE pack a punch that is sure to make a sonic impact with new tunes to be recorded for a debut release in 2025. (think a dose of Morrissey/The Smiths, a dollop of Wilco, a portion of Blur and a chunk of Brit-pop). This is their second gig. (9.15-10pm)
Opening the night is an emerging local artist, SAM CURTIS (Solo) combining his acoustic grooves, soothing vocals and blaring slide solo’s reminiscent of Australian greats such as Xavier Rudd, John Butler and Tash Sultana. (8.30-9pm)
Doors open 8pm. $8 entry.
