Machine Translations: They’re a band made up of singer-songwriters, so there can be nothing but the ultimate creative juices flowing at this show. With an album that was released towards the early end of October, the group fronted by J. Walker will perform some of these new tracks in celebration, as well as some bangers from their extensive previous works. Their lineup, completed by Karen Tua Walker, Jordan Ireland, Ralf Rehak, Robin Waters and James O’Brien, means that this show will be pure guitar melodies with added twists to create intrigue and surprise.

Hold Tight!: Beat makers galore. Get down to Sydney’s most notorious underground music haven to witness this collection of up and coming beat makers and MCs. Headlining this fantastic lineup is LA MC JonWayne, whose rise to prominence has seen him signing with Stones Throw Records and now on the verge of releasing his debut full-lengther Reflection. American’s aside, Oisima is one of our own electro producers that has a signed deal with Herbede Records for his stellar sample work and his possessive originals. It’s a balance of pure LA hip hop and Aussie EDM at its best. Hold Tight! It’s going to be a kick-ass night!

City and Colour: Since the disbandment of Canadian hardcore group Alexisonfire, singer Dallas Green has had the chance to throw himself fully-fledged into his heart-felt side project.
