Hot off the press: TABLOID is a fresh face on the Sydney music scene, though its lineup will be familiar to seasoned gig-goers. Combining the cinematic rock of Wolf Alice, the anxious energy of Massive Attack, and the unsettling but captivating musings of Radiohead, TABLOID is yet more than the sum of its parts.

For his ambient solo project Rémi brings together his influences of blues music, 70s prog and fusion into a kaleidoscope of atmospheric textures and meditative soundscapes.

In 2025, we released a lot of amazing music! Here's a sampler of it for this past year, Cone of Confusion, Othrship, BALKO and Rémi Marchand some of our fave Aussie psych artists!

Eora/Sydney-based band Cone of Confusion takes audiences on a voyage through textural soundscapes and improvisation, travelling through dissonant musical galaxies to reach sonic utopia. Thread of Life is the first single to come out of Cone of Confusion's upcoming 3rd album due for release in in 2026.
“Expand your horizons of consciousness without taking illicit substances” ABC Radio
🦍 Sea of Nectar, their next single is coming out next Wednesday!

Othrship a progressive, psychedelic, space themed jazz rock band from Eora/Sydney and is Henry Manuell’s passion project. In this creative escape, he expresses the full range of his musical abilities and journey through the maze of his mind. A Captain's Final Message brings 🚀Othrship's interstellar narrative to its emotional peak and is the pivotal title track of an EP telling their epic space odyssey.

BALKO is a prog and psych band from Eora/Sydney. Their single Onion sounds like Black Midi if they wrote a song for King Crimson. 🌰Composed around the main riff, the addition of layer upon layer, like an Onion, made it a full song with an explosive message.

Rémi Marchand is the guitarist for Cone of Confusion as well as founder of independent label PsyconFest Records. In 2025, he made his debut solo wiht an ambient psychedelic and meditative project. Misty Mountains" was improvised and recorded live as part of a set at the Now & When bush doof, Nowendoc, NSW The whole set was released in full as an LP, "Live, Now & When".

Ahead of our show next Thursday we're thrilled to have Ofri Music opening for the night 🌟

Ofri is a Sydney-based singer-songwriter whose unashamedly candid lyrics and intricate piano-vocal arrangements form a particular (and peculiar) brand of chamber pop. Inspired by legends of alternative songwriting such as Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor and Sufjan Stevens, Ofri's performances dance dynamically between raw emotionality and heartfelt subtlety. Her debut album That Heavy Magnetism (4/7/24) was described by AAA Backstage as “a must-listen … a rich, musical experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is mesmerising”. She will be joined onstage by bassist Phil Langshaw and saxophonist Emma Korell for a live set that's part 90s art-pop revivalism, part Lilith Fair, part alternative folk, and yet completely, utterly Ofri.
