Tailwind

Tailwind is a new 4-piece jazz/groove/improv project evoking dreams of pacific holidaying, summer-breeze and endless sunsets.

Comprising of Finn Rees on keys, Karai Hemara on guitar, Dominic Nguyen on bass and Matthew Apted on drums.

エミエミ (emi emi)

エミエミ (emi emi) is the experimental J-pop project from 25-year-old Emi Doi. Born and raised in lutruwita to her Launcestonian mum and Japanese dad, エミエミ combines Emi’s existing indie-music flavour with uptempo Japanese-pop, drawing on inspiration from the likes of Kero Kero Bonito, CHAI, Kyary Pyamu Pyamu and Superorganism. Her songs use a mixture of English and Japanese lyrics to explore her three emotional states of being – happy, heartsick and hungry. 楽しんでください (≧▽≦)

Soon to be Hobart run-aways It Thing join their friends All The Weathers and Liquid Nails for a night of splintering punk!

This back-to-back attack of local, and most importantly- loud live bands will take place on the land of the palawa people.

It Thing

It Thing is not a girl band from lutruwita / naarm. IT THING boasts a fist-hit setlist full of badinage (come and find out what that means!) I.T Thing has been likened to Hagen and English Punk Band from the 70s or 80s or something.

All The Weathers

All The Weathers have graced Hobart and beyond (if there is any such thing) for years, forming a deadly repertoire of songs each crazier than the last. Not shy of instrument hopping, swapping and hip hopping, ATW will surely rattle your brain with their diverse sound.

Liquid Nails

Local home grown punk. No compromises, don’t accept substitutes.

He has toured in his native Australia and internationally as a session musician for Fletcher Gull, Harper Bloom and others. Joe and Dumaresq have been featured in NME and Rolling Stone Australia, and has received radio support from triple J, 4zzz, FBi Radio, and more.

Les Nointers

Les Nointers are Lucien Simon and Cameron Healy from seminal 90s Tasmanian misfit stagger rock outfit DUST, flamenco metal queen Katherine Diaz Robayo and drum slinger Marcos Genaris.Described as a cross between the Pixies and the Beatles – Les Nointers are the impossible made real.

Joining Les Nointers on stage will be the angelic Koko Flow on a duet with the demonic Lucien.

Edward Guglielmino

Edward Guglielmino is an Australian musician, disc jockey, public speaker, academic, and blogger based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. He currently is a member of musical groups the Thin Kids and Lost of Love, but is best known for his own solo music career and has commercially released three full-length albums.

It’s that time of year again, where people go to families, we argue about gender to Aunt Mavis, and giggle at grinder as little Timmy opens his presents. Us queers have a strange relationship with xmas, and this cabaret is where we can come to find solace, cry melancholy, and scream at the capitalistic holiday that makes us think of Mary pushing Jesus out into the world.

We have a bunch of your old favourite talents, and a few new presents to stick in your stockings. Don’t forget to bring a plate.

QT Cabaret is a place for Transgender and Gender queer people to trial cabaret acts, or just let off some steam on stage. It is a space to meet other people, and to watch the amazingly talented community of Hobart.

Ben Salter
Accomplished songwriter and performer Ben Salter has spent the past few years of these strange times at the Museum Of Old & New Art (MONA) in lutruwita/Tasmania composing and performing daily in his own studio/installation, Import/Export.

An already prolific artist, Salter has written, recorded and released four albums of new material over the past 12 months, demonstrating an increasingly eclectic and progressive bent in both his lyrics and compositions. Now he is to undertake his first national tour in over three years, presenting songs old and new in the intimate solo mode he has grown so adept at during his daily performances at the museum.

Laura Imbruglia
Australian songwriter Laura Imbruglia has been releasing records since the early noughties. A restless musician with broad music taste, she’s released four albums, played almost every corner of Australia and several pockets of Europe.

Saree Salter
Tasmanian singer-songwriter Saree Salter has been performing since she was in middle school. Saree grew up on the East Coast, where she passionately refined her sound and broadened her audience to the greater regions of Northern Tasmania.

Lune River
Forming in nipaluna / Hobart, Lune River are a Rock ’n’ Roll group in spirit. Through dreamy songwriting that sets the dials for the sun, their music exhales space hooks and melody – yet with good feels and weight when it counts. Their affinity with adventurous psych-rock jams and organic songwriting also gives them a rare duality that reflects their love for the 60s. You can expect to hear plenty more of Lune River over the coming waves of time.

Jethro Pickett is a Tasmanian songwriter and producer who’s gearing up for a new release this year with a new sound. His last release was put out by Phill Calvert’s (The Birthday Party) Behind The Beat Records and they’re on board for the next one too. Jethro has toured with various pop/rock bands all over the world and has a big pool to delve into and inspire from. Expect some cosmic pop from this prince of freak folk.

Celeste Evelyn is an artist/singer-songwriter born from the wild and fertile coastal soil of lutruwita/Tasmania, honing an original sound that borrows from roots, soul, folk and alt-rock, yet strays into realms of a genre undefinable. An earth-spun songstress with provoking lyrics, emotive melodies, and a focus on the depth and colour available to our human experience that can be found through rhythm and melody.

Singer-songwriter Cathy Diver writes intimate alt-country and folk songs cast tender vignettes, shifting and sunburnt. Based between lutruwita/Tasmania and Ngunnawal Country, she has toured significantly and supported the likes of Julia Jacklin, Didirri, Tim Rogers and Carla Geneve, as well as co-forming indie label, Undine Records, in 2020.
