BENDIGO HOTEL - UPSTAIRS BANDROOM

Get ready for a WILD NIGHT of searing surf guitars and riotous garage punk rock 'n' roll!!

THE CTHULUS (NZ)

The first time hitting Oz shores for NZ surf rock legends THE CTHULUS. Think heavy, reverb-drenched Dick Dale style surf guitar shredding, combined with a with dark, oceanic horror vibe inspired by the 1920's Weird Tales stories of H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith. A tidal wave of surf instro-mental mayhem that'll keep you coming up for air!

THE STRIPP

THE STRIPP are a high-energy, turbo charged rock 'n' roll machine unleashing a rapid-fire barrage of high-voltage guitars and bulldozer riffs. Fronted by Bek Taylor, best described as the love child of Joan Jett and Lemmy Kilmister, the bands unique heavy style, captivating live shows and extensive touring has gained them a reputation as one of Australia's finest, high-energy rock 'n' roll bands.

BURNING EFFIGY

Like the sneering mutant love child of Fred Cole and Roky Erickson, BURNING EFFIGY mix sub-Stoogean garage punk chuggery with power-pop sensibilities and a cow-punk edge. The group features members of The Cavemen, Antics and Doe St, making this a stable of thoroughbred rock 'n' roll cretins... so dont miss their shocking debut performance!

DJ's MISS DOM & JOHNNY DAMBUSTER (NZ)

Special guest DJ legends from Auckland spinning original garage punk, psyche and surf vinyl to keep your night cranking!
