Its gonna be a special night - a once off chance to hear these songs debuted! A very special experience for both artist and audience. BYO picnic vibes but in the hall so rain wont ruin the show. Plenty of chairs if you prefer

1 week until our debut show of BOOM! BAP! POW! with a string quartet so we asked for their thoughts on playing with the strings. And like many of the great bands that have influenced them, they didn’t need many words to get their point across!

When I approached Your Girl Pho to play Tender is the Night I was looking for something different and a bit more experimental to what we had been doing and damn she did not disappoint. This track in particular is like a electronic psych swirl of bass, vocals and strings!

Our next concert on June 6 will feature this bloke, who has been one of the most prolific & revered songwriters in Perth for some time now. Jame Rogers is better known these days as one half of country staples The Little Lord Street Band, but before he softened has also featured in Triple J alt rock darlings Harlequin League, Next Big Thing winners The Fault, as well as The Old Croak, Patient Little Sister & The Shallows. Oh and a solo album somewhere too

The big question on the lips of any long time follower is: will his Tender is the Night performance usher in a new version of Charlie’s Town? Buy yourself a ticket and find out! Link in bio
