My Left Boot

My Left Boot combine elements of 70s fuzz rock, 60s psychedelia and grunge era heavyness with high energy and pinch of salt to form a band that is both exciting and high in blood pressure. The group began early in 2005, initially with an aim to make postcards and wrapping paper, but it quickly developed into a music project when the home craft industry suddenly crashed. In late 2005 The Boot released "Season of the Time", a 5 track EP which gave hints of their developing sound.

This band is all about immediate hooks, modern production and a swaggering rhythm section. Their new album, titled ‘How We Survive’ was released in July 2009 by Laughing Outlaw Records in Australia.

Epidemic...over

With a name like EPIDEMIC…OVER, one can be forgiven for any preconceived conceptions of the bands sound. After all, a lot of today’s bands have names that immediately create ideas as to what genre they are. In E…O’s case, expectations are dissolved the second the first note is struck. To be put simply, it’s the music that defines the name. Reigning from Central Queensland Australia, EPIDEMIC…OVER are a promising, energetic four piece combining hard hitting guitars and emotional vocals held together by a tight and driving rhythm section.

The Snowdroppers

The Snowdroppers came together in the third quarter of 2007, a group of fucked up misfits and STD carriers with one thing in common; the desire to introduce the blues to a new generation of fans. Realising they were in fact four clean-limbed honkeys, they decided to mix things up a little, which seemed to work in their favour, as their first ever show drew 1300 paying audience members. Of the 1300, only half asked for their money back – thanks in part...
