PEOPLE MOVER
To celebrate the release of their debut album 'Cane Trash', Meanjin/Brisbane trio People Mover hit the road this October. Cane Trash is a collection of songs shaped by the Queensland heat permeating through childhood homes and share houses. It captures the messiness of being in your twenties through melodies that stick like a seatbelt in summer. After playing their first UK shows in 2024, People Mover are bringing 'Cane Trash' home to Australian audiences following the album's release this September.
THE BLANKETTES
The Blankettes (pronounced like The Ronettes) are a garage rock three-piece from Brisbane who worship at the altar of 60s girl groups and anything in a cowgirl hat especially if it jangles. The band is made up of Grace Pashley on guitar (Full Power Happy Hour, Lackadaisies), Gemma Wyer on bass (Piss Shivers, CNT EVN), and Marnie Vaughn on drums (Married Man, Smallest Horse, No Doz). Their debut EP 'Witch on my Chest' is full of playful, intelligent lyricism and the twang of reverb-soaked guitars.
