Based in Melbourne Australia, Better Than Sex is a band which tries to capture the mutual feeling of existential dread and fear of eternal damnation which haunts the collective unconscious of all 21st century sicko’s, let's not kid ourselves here, that's likely you. 

But with music like this it really wont bother you that by the time you have access to your superannuation most of the world will have likely been torn asunder in the great water wars

So put on your straight jacket and turn up the radio because modernity is a mental illness and we’ve got the cure

 

The Corduroys

 

The Corduroys are a Melbourne-based ensemble that seamlessly blends infectious pop melodies with the rhythmic grooves of funk and the sophisticated harmonies of modern jazz. What began as a high-energy cover band has evolved into a formidable force, now captivating audiences with original compositions that pulse with creativity and passion. Fronting the ensemble is a vocalist whose talent is nothing short of extraordinary. With a voice that effortlessly transitions from sultry lows to soaring highs, they captivate audiences with every note... The Corduroy’s stage presence is magnetic, drawing listeners into a world where every song feels deeply personal and universally resonant. Together, they create a sonic tapestry that’s both polished and spontaneous, ensuring every performance is a fresh and exhilarating experience. Whether performing a beloved classic or debuting a new composition, The Corduroys bring the same level of energy, passion, and authenticity to every stage they grace.

'Boots Medicine and the Ghost of Cripes'
are a two-piece band from the thriving arts district in the Dandenong Ranges.
Their sound comes worn-in, like a familiar stranger, built on gritty grooves, crackling guitar tones, and restless melodies; haunting and stomping on the line between ghastly rhythm and blues, and medicinal psych.
