Indie Rock

Dan Vogl is a high vibe, indie rock n’ roll artist, from Melbourne, Australia. At age 10, Dan picked up a broken acoustic guitar from the side of the road in a hard rubbish collection. He repaired it with duct tape and went on to teach himself how to play guitar, sing and write songs.

In 2017 Dan released his debut single ‘If I Die’ after being awarded a songwriters scholarship at The Australian College of the Arts. It received airtime on Triple J, a video feature from Speaker TV and was used in the TV series ’600 Bottles of Wine” on Network 10 and Netflix.

In 2018 Dan participated in a music mentoring program through ‘The Push’ and received mentoring from Darren Middleton. (Powderfinger)

In 2019 Dan worked with producer Joel Quartermain, (Eskimo Joe) to record his debut EP ‘Gifted In Gold.’ This saw him receive further airtime on Triple J, chart in the Top 10 on the ‘Amrap’ Regional Charts, as well as receiving press attention from Tone Deaf, Music Feeds, Beat and Forté. Later that year Dan travelled to North America and performed countless shows in Canada.

In 2020 Dan participated in the Music Victoria Artist Consultancy program, where he gained mentoring from prolific music manager, Michael Parisi. (Vera Blue, Xavier Rudd)

In 2021 Dan’s follow up single ‘Bland Francisco’ saw a change of direction sonically, working with producer Alex Markwell. (The Delta Riggs)This was rewarded with a plethora of community radio play and interviews, alongside the addition to MTV Upload programming.

In 2022 Dan released ‘Let Down.’ Again, working with Markwell, he pursued an indie rock ’n roll sound with a political sentiment.

Dan has shown versatility in his live performances, supporting the likes of indie rockers British India, folk singer/songwriter Bob Evans and has toured with new wavers, Pseudo Echo. Dan has performed at festivals like The Hills Are Alive and Eltham Street Festival and has headlined shows at iconic Melbourne venues like Northcote Social Club, The Gasometer, and The Workers Club.

Mom Jeans found their start in early 2014 at UC Berkeley, with guitarist Austin Carango and lead singer Eric Butler. This line-up would go on to record Spring Demo in May 2014, a six-track EP which would later be released as the band's self-titled debut on cassette tape by Northern California-based label, Fourth Row Records. Tracks on Spring Demo feature only Eric and Austin in an acoustic style, while the later released self-titled EP boasted an electric instrumentation with new additions, Josh Perline on bass/vocals, and David McDowall on drums (before his departure from the band shortly after release). Later that summer, the trio would record their last EP before their first full-length album, titled Allergic which featured Austin switching to drums, Josh switching to guitar, and bass recordings being handled by both members. Post-release, Gabriel (Gabe) Paganin joined the band as live bassist and Josh Perline exited the band on good terms.

Mom Jeans self-released their first full-length album, Best Buds, on July 3, 2016. Like their self-titled EP, the album was first released on cassette tape by Fourth Row Records in the summer of 2016. However, soon the group would sign with Massachusetts-based label Counter Intuitive Records, who then re-released the band's first full-length album on vinyl in November 2016.

On March 7, 2017, Mom Jeans released a split EP with the Fresno-based band Graduating Life. It was during this period that Bart Thompson of Graduating Life and Meet Me in Montauk fame would become a guitarist for the band.

On October 6, 2017, Counter Intuitive Records released a split EP titled NOW That's What I Call Music Vol. 420, featuring music from Mom Jeans as well as the bands Pictures of Vernon and Prince Daddy & The Hyena.

In a world gone sour Naarm based trio Hannah Kate are making changes for the good, with a new lineup, new outlook and brand new single titled ‘Test Run’.

After a break following her acclaimed 2020 release ‘Sunday Mourning’, Hannah and her band are back with a new direction, swinging a darker tone indicative of the lessons and experiences learnt in their hiatus, all the while still maintaining the classic witticisms and youthful outlook that carried them to the mainstage in the first place.

‘Test Run’ is easily the trio’s most dramatic release yet, with lyrics drenched in existentialism and perhaps a seasonal red, the track exudes the same energy as Hannah’s earlier releases but with slightly burnt edges- almost as though the track was the last thing she managed to grab when running out of a house fire. Test Run was recorded by Fabian Hunter at the Fishbone Shack Studio and mixed and mastered by Sam Swain of Sunset Pigs Studios, previous production credits include Obscura Hail & Rat!Hammock.

While Test Run is Hannah’s first release since Pluto entered Aquarius, her and her band have kept busy with the occasional highly anticipated set amongst local heavy weights Lothario, Serpette, Smooch, Teether, Blonde Revolver, Hannah Blackburn and many more.

Hannah Kate will be launching Test Run on Saturday October 5th, 2024 at Thornbury’s Cactus Room with support from Milly Strange and BUGHUNT.
