Stylus

Stylus were an Australian blue-eyed soul group formed in 1975. They were the only Australian act to be released by Motown Records in the USA. Stylus toured supporting George Benson, Average White Band, Ike & Tina Turner, and Little River Band. According to rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, Stylus "scored a number of hit singles and became very popular on the Australian pub and concert circuit". The group disbanded in 1979 and subsequently had various reunions. In 1998-99 Japan's Toshiba-EMI re-issued three Stylus albums on CDs (For the Love of Music, Best Kept Secret and Part of It All). Their reunions have resulted in a live album, Still Alive (2003); and a new studio album, Across Time (2010).

The Mojo Corner

THE MOJO CORNER

Together now for more than 10 years, The Mojo Corner are a tight knit unit of great friends and musicians that are continuing to grow and develop their sound. Never sitting still they have a reputation for tight and energetic live shows. The songs written are from a time that is theirs and are straight from the heart. Not tied down to one genre.

They are Rock. They are Roots. They are Blues. They have Soul.

There has definitely been ups and downs over the years with a few line-up changes along the way, but with new layers of keys and backing vocals has lifted the music to a new level. The boys have released 3 albums including Whole Lotta Woman, Trouble, and Bullet On A Train. They have recently released a live EP “Live at Manorism Studio” both as audio and as a visual experience that shows the true essence of the band. A new album in now in the making too.

They have toured around Australia over the years and have played hundreds of gigs including Queenscliff Music Festival, Echuca Winter Blues Festival, Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival, Blues On Broadbeach, and also Woodford Folk Festival. The Mojo Corner have played along side and supported many fantastic well known Australian artists along their journey too.

The journey is still a reality and with it, new life breathed into a collective to deliver more. A little rough around the edges, always up for a beer, we are ready for a good time.

It’s always about the music.
