Bursting from the depths of Melbourne’s musical waters Ogopogo bring about a new wave of chaotic mayhem. The 6-piece musical scrambled eggs have been sizzling in the frying pan for the better part of 2017 and are now ready to be served.

Once thought to be just a myth Ogopogo has unveiled itself and started to rein terror on the ears of the faint-hearted. Ogopogo is the undeniable ruler of the animal kingdom and is a kind, benevolent master, but make no mistake, tickle her wrong and you will be devoured. This beast is by no means negotiable, expect brain twisting rhythms, colourful melodies, and lustrous harmonies.

Come sip the golden milk from the mysterious creature whilst soaking in the lyrics of a well gone mad mind. With songs that leave you in a paranoid state of never ending animal shadow Ogopogo cease to let you forget you are never alone in this fierce animal kingdom.

Like a glitter comet from the wild side of the disco globe, Sugar Fed Leopards are a blazing sextet who ignite dance-floors with their cosmic cocktail of original disco, soul, doo-wop and hip swinging rock ‘n’ roll. 

Soulful, groovy and honest, singer-songwriter STAV combines seamless arrangements of intricate nylon-string guitar with an expressive voice. Heartfelt songs inspired by jazz/folk/acoustic/soul, her performance is raw, intimate and playful.  Performing both solo and with her band, the project has now released their debut album The Horizon Line. 

Weaving lyrical stories with guitar and voice (Stav Shaul), violin and voice (Esther Henderson), double bass (Isaac Gunnoo), drums (Hannes Lackmann) and guest saxophonist Jared Becker, the music is rich in rhythm, serene strings and uplifting melodies.
