We've lined up a stellar roster of your fave local artists and some exciting new talents breezing through town! This week Piggietails, Hard Rubbish and Wriding are stopping by for a show. Built on friendship and an initial relaxed approach to songwriting towards the end of 2023, the band have slowly but surely slotted their way into the local Melbourne music scene, playing with the likes of Cool Sounds and Mess Esque. Taking notes from 80s Australiana guitar pop, the indie rock stylings of Yo La Tengo and a splash of the revivalist jangle of the naughties, the band pull the best bits from every era creating lyrically engaging simplistic songs that still manage to pull you into their personal world, humorously described by the band as “everyday music”. Hard Rubbish are an Australian rock Band from Southern Australia, Starting out as a primarily pub rock outfit, the group has drifted towards are more dissonant country and folk sound, evident in their only full length release ‘Evergreen 19-24’. Marking their first release since that album, the bands double single ‘Seen’ and ‘Barking at Me’ continue this trajectory, while finding new footing. Recording in Melbourne, The double single enlists vocalist, guitarist and violinist Claire Treddinick for the first time, after months of Treddinick joining the ensemble for live gigs across Victoria and forming part of the band's sound. Produced, Mixed and recorded by Dylan Young (Way Dynamic) the depth of the groups sound is displayed in both songs, with ‘Seen’ taking on a sparse, sentimentality, and Barking at Me harking back to the indie rock roots of singer and songwriter Jason Katsaras’s former band, Dead roo. Katsaras says Seen was in development shortly after the band’s last single ‘Distort it’. “This song was written after having moved for the third time in as many years to Melbourne. Maybe it’s a bit naff but I did feel a touch invisible at the time, losing touch with people I care about and finding my footing in a new place, all the while starin
