Jazz Racket

11:10am 

Jazz Racket is a quartet that reinvents the classics. With drums, double bass, keyboards, and saxophone, they breathe new life into jazz standards, twisting tradition into something fresh, daring, and unpredictable. It’s jazz that surprises, challenges, and grooves, where the past meets the future in ways you never saw coming.

Cone of Confusion

11:55am 

Eora/Sydney psychedelic band, Cone of Confusion, blends sound between psych, ambient, prog rock and jazz fusion with experimental elements and improvisation.  Cone of Confusion takes audiences on a voyage with textural soundscapes and improvisation, travelling through dissonant musical galaxies to reach sonic utopia. With members hailing from France, Mexico and Australia, their performances are “an experimental tour-de-force… forged in a realm somewhere between West Africa and deep space.” (Shaun Colnan, TheMusic)

Alibii is an Australian indie rock/synth-pop duo featuring the dynamic vocals of Will and Court. Their constantly evolving sound fuses straight out of the bedroom pop with the raw energy of 2000s guitars, fat synth basslines, and irresistible drum grooves. Having met at Sydney's JMC Academy, they bonded over shared inspirations like The Killers, Paramore, and MGMT, leading them to blend pop and rock music.

Danny McMartin & The Psychedelic Surfers

2:55pm 

One of the last remaining ‘Surf Rock’ artists in the world! Danny’s love of Surf Rock was inevitable after being raised near the beach on a staple diet of epic surf film soundtracks. His future was set early to be a master craftsman and carve out his own modern twist to the Surf Rock genre. Having a promiscuous musical background all laid a foundation for what would become his unique solo surf guitar work of today.
