Umbrella Event: Live Music in the Founders Room 2022

Post punk Tasmanian three-piece band, Liquid Nails have been a thing since 2019. Subtract two years of global pandemic and you could say, along with the glacial pace of offshore pressing and shipping, they have, in a timely fashion, banged out their debut LP!

The 12 inch, 45rpm self-titled album (in true punk tradition) delivers 10 blistering tracks that authentically replicates the band’s explosive and energetic live performances at pubs and clubs in their hometown of nipaluna (Hobart).

Liquid Nails are celebrating the release of this debut at the Founders Room, Salamanca Arts Centre, on Cubbyhouse Records (100 available).

Threats
Cruiser-charged fast hardcore. World record holders for most notes in a 36 second song. Unmissable on many levels.

Rabbit
Melodic nipaluna power pop and it’s absolute finest. They have one stellar 7-inch out and a debut album on the way.

Nice House (Debut Show)
With the median house price in Hobart at an all time encouragingly affordable $995,000, Nice House are here to ask and answer one question: Can rock and roll save this city?

A night of surreal and psychedelic art, music and interactive exhibits. Gochi improvises and launches his latest EP and showcases some of the unusual and trippy art that has leaked from his fried noggin.

Providing further entertainment for the night is Phat Loops and Bailey Jaxxon. Two very different, yet highly talented acts, that might have you hearing colours by the end of the night.

Gochi
Mr Gochi is a Live Looping act incorporating funk, samples and electronic bleeps and bloops to create psychedelic soundscapes and grooves. His art is likewise mind bending and his most common mediums involve tech and gadget-ry.

Bailey Jaxxon
‘Ello, I make jams for your scones, songs to stick in your head like the jingle for a cereal commercial.

Phat Loops
Phat Loops is a slick mix of Drum & Bass, orchestral leanings, pop-culture ambiance, heavy metal guitar, and cinematic ornament. Hard to describe, easy to love – Phat loops is dance music for the modern era. Everything is performed live.
