TIGERCATS
Tigercats are a kalimba-led psychedelic pop band from East London.
Having honed his songwriting craft in the short-lived but much much-missed Esiotrot, in 2010, Duncan Barrett went about forming a new band and recruited sibling/long-time producer Giles Barrett (bass), talented songstress Laura Kovic (keys) and rhythmic powerhouse Jonny (drums), as well as Paul Rains (guitar, of Allo Darlin' fame).
FORTITUDE VALLEY
Fortitude Valley is a brand new project for the songwriting talents of Durham based Brisbanite Laura Kovic. Having spent the majority of her musical career playing keyboards in other people’s bands, bringing their songs to life with a melodic flourish, it was about time for Laura K to find an outlet for her songs: awkward power-pop that’s bound to appeal to fans of The Beths, Weezer or The Weakerthans. She’s assembled quite the band too: Martha’s Daniel Ellis on lead guitar and Nathan Stephens Griffin on drums, and Night Flowers’ Greg Ullyart on bass.
MOUSTACHE OF INSANITY
Moustache of Insanity have been making music since late 2008 (until they stopped around 2012) and have played more than 60 shows in the UK, Europe and in the US. The band consists of Nik Vestberg and Bill Botting (who also plays bass with Allo Darlin' and with Darren Hayman & The Secondary Modern), a Swede and an Australian with a shared passion for DIY music (pop, antifolk, punk you name it). Using a variety of vintage casio keyboards, gameboys, electric guitar and drum machines, they play pop songs, sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always catchy and straight from the heart.
COMMON OR GARDEN
Time stands still for no-one. Talented young Brisbanite Hannah Winter (née Botting) has taken a step aside from the much-loved Owl & Mouse to present her solo project Common or Garden.
A step forward from her previous acoustic based & ukulele led outfit, Common or Garden is self described as ‘scrappy’ synth pop - self produced and more experimental than her previous outfit. The core of her songwriting charm remains: vociferously personal stories, resonating harmonies and layers of vocals to lose yourself in.
