Door fee tonight is $10, which includes free nibbles, cheap drinks, friendly people, accommodating spaces. Proudly queer and family friendly. Come along and celebrate the oddity which is the Coburg RSL Band Night!
JAALA (11pm)
Jaala is a four-piece Melbourne band led by the enigmatic vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Cosima (Manglewurzel). Their sound is affectionately referred to as shed, a cathartic blend of jangly indie-rock and proggy art-pop. Cosima’s song writing plunges into heavy depths of the heart, sharing both dreams, losses and personal chaos all delivered with the vulnerable honesty of her unique voice.

LOWTIDE (10pm)
Superficially, it would seem relatively easy to define Lowtide’s music. Their reverb drenched, richly layered and heavily textured sound brings to mind bands such as The Cure, Ride, My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive. Originally centered around the solo workings of Gabriel Lewis in 2008 the band's sound has evolved from a single ambient, soaring, textured guitar into the band's current, larger configuration framed by dual bassists/vocalists Lucy Buckeridge and Giles Simon and drummer Anton Jakovljevic.

GREGOR (8:30pm)
Melbourne fretwizard Gregor makes eccentric, inquisitive home recordings recalling Durutti Column, Arthur Russell or Talking Heads, then plays them live with a full band. https://www.facebook.com/gregorsings/https://chaptermusic.bandcamp.com/album/thoughts-faults
BOBBY BRAVE (7:45pm)
Duo Caitlin Perry and Bobby Bravington make swishy, swoony pop songs to enjoy!

SHRIMPWITCH (7:00)
Shrimpwitch, the almighty duo of two very shrimpy witches with salty sexual magic who rule the ocean with their venereal garage rock. Members Kim Prawn & Georgi Goonsack defining the Shrimp-charged garage punk genre!
