The
not for profit venue Coburg RSL is holding its 3rd Band Night, a
unique ALL ages experience where no one is too OLD or YOUNG. As a community
managed club which does not rely on pokies for its revenue, the Coburg RSL aims
for the Band Night to be a fun, family-friendly celebration of local
independent acts. We welcome all musical acts and a special spotlight is put on
young/new up and coming acts which may be playing their first shows. Celebrate
your local heroes with us on Saturday 5 July. Mrs Barb Wire (MC for the night)
and the friendly staff/volunteers of the Coburg RSL will wend you down a path
full of happy surprises, not least of which is the 'Spam Raffle'. Coburg RSL
Band Night #3, the best for less -- only $5 & includes light supper! Have a
look at this line-up!
In the early 80’s on the outskirts of Perth, brothers Mark and Rob
Snarski formed the darkly literate Chad's Tree. They had absorbed the music of
the Velvet Underground, Television, The Doors, Tom Waits and Billie Holiday
among others. They moved east, made records and then sadly at the end of the
decade Chad's Tree disbanded. Mark formed the Jackson Code while younger
brother Rob formed The Blackeyed Susans along with members of The Triffids and
other luminaries. These days Mark Snarski lives in Madrid, has recorded and
toured with his new project The Nearly Brothers with his pals - Mick Harvey,
Martyn P. Casey, T.B. Allen and "Bongo”. He’s back in Australia for a
spell and we are very grateful to have him join us with a solo set!
Mia Schoen sings with a remarkably unique yet consistent
perspective. She is adept at many talents (multi-instrumentalist, songwirter,
painter, teacher) and she is a flexible collaborator. Schoen’s ethos and aesthetic,
are rooted in a suburban realism. She explores everyday existence through her
songs, as well as through her paintings, which grace the sleeves of most of her
releases. These days, Schoen has left the inner-city to set up home in the
western suburbs, a landscape which continues to inspire her creative output.
Even the name of her current band, New Estate, evokes this fascination with
life beyond the rarefied environment of urban intellectuals and lifestyle
poseurs. Musically, Schoen has translated early influences such as Flying Nun
records’ speed-freak jangle, or the shambolic pop of Swell Maps and The Pastels
into a style she can truly call her own, whether she’s furiously strumming
skewed chords on her guitar or coaxing wheezing beauty from a vintage electric
organ. She's playing a solo set.
Totally Mild is a self described 'pop, acapella, home recording'
Melbourne band led by Melbourne’s Elizabeth Mitchell and including indie all-star
Ashley Bundang. Following last September’s cassette tape release 'Castanet' and
recent supports on album launches by everyone from Emma Russack to Full Ugly to
Melbourne Cans, they’re putting out an LP later in the year via Bedroom Suck.
