BRONSON (EP Tour) + SCAR THE SURFACE (EP Launch) + FESTATION + BURNT ASHES
Defiance; a word exemplifying all that which BRONSON is about; a determined disposition to resist. What began early 2007 was a culmination of five men who knew each other from several walks of life. 2009 brought a change of focus and goals; \"above and beyond\" the new mantra for success. With bold change came friction and shortly thereafter a line-up change and a fresh start. This band is defined by its style, balls on the line groove metal, brutal enough at times to go toe to toe with the heaviest of bands whilst finding a melodic light that seeps through the darkness. Quickly being recognised as one of Melbournes most exciting live bands; BRONSON \"are nothing short of an aural arse-kick\" (Jaymz Clements - Editor, Beat Magazine). With the release of their denbut EP, this five piece Metal band are ready to take Australian Metal to the rest of the world and give the genre the recognition it deserves.

Pugsley Buzzard + Rebecca Moore
Pugsley Buzzard, piano player and singer with a distinctive sound plays funky New Orleans grooves, barrelhouse blues Harlem stride and modern stylings that feature loads of tantalising improvisations. Pugsleys shows are exciting and captivating at the centre is his huge mesmerizing voice and dazzling piano playing delivered with a vaudevillian nuance and humour.

Pugsley describes himself as \"a grizzly bear in a porkpie hat rummaging through a piano.\" A fascinating character of imposing stature with a rich and raspy blues drenched baritone voice that can make the ladies sigh and and grown men cry. A bone shaking shaman howling the blues and an eccentric raconteur who never fails to entertain and delight his audiences. With Rebecca Moore

Flat Earth Syndrome + Guests
Flat Earth Syndrome consists of at present three members based in Melbourne Victoria. The band was set up with the intention of playing original raunchy rock music with an alternative flavour based on heavy rock blues influences. It was after the drummer and bass player had a falling out with the then guitarist in a covers band that they started jamming with current guitaristsongwritervocalist and Flat Earth Syndrome was born. The band was formed early 2009 with our first demo recorded in October of the same year. We are still evolving our sound with the aim of providing good honest music that is not overproduced.

Cousin Leonard + Drew Bowden + Peter Finc
We write music that harks back to our islander childhood growing up in FIJI together, reaching across to the gentle up-beat of Reggae and soaking in the musical & political revolutionary period of the late 60s early 70s. Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Simon & Garfunkle, Marvin Gay, Nick Drake & Joni Mitchell are some kindred spirits. ...... we sing, play guitars, bass, percussion, trombone, & are joined by BeatBox guru MechMC for some tasty BEAT treats.... Our recordings reflect this liveacoustic based experience through to more densely layered, experimental & collaborative studio work. aaah music is indeed magic, and This Life is a Beautiful Thing!!!

The Murderballs + Special Guests
Over the past few years, The Murderballs have been inching ever closer to the heart of the Melbourne music scene, befriending man, beast and band alike. As well as playing regular gigs with The Bad Kills, The Murderballs have shared the stage with many of Melbourne's favourites, such as Sin City, Los Amigos, No Credit and Damn the Empire as well as Newcastle's Checkered Fist.

With an uncontrollable urge to play and an energy which defies logic, The Murderballs will not, nay, cannot stop until rock 'n' roll is saved from the mundane and once again takes its rightful place as king. Only then will Jesse, Kent and Lenny be content to fade away into rock 'n' roll history. Either that or become cult heroes... With special guests
