3) Lexi Quinn, Bark, June Cartel: Live
25th March
What: A night of undiscovered Brisbane talent. Opening the night is June Cartel, with their purely improvised progressive Jazz Metal, fusing the improvisational nature of jazz with the high energy of heavy progressive metal. Following up are Bark., with their signature weave of odd blues and funk grooves, laced with hints of psychedelia and indie rock. Closing out are the one and only Lexi Quinn, with their home brewed, hardware intensive Emo-Jazz for noisey queers.
Why: Discover why ‘undiscovered’ isn’t always a bad thing.
2) Lazarus Fest
27th March
What: For the last six months a group of independent filmmakers and musicians have been hard at work making the feature length drama film The Last of the Pretty Boys around Brisbane and Ipswich. The film follows the exploits of a rockstar called Lazarus Graves as he spends a week returning home to Brisbane. To celebrate the end of production, they’ve decided to put on a music festival. All of the artists performing on the day are either contributing music to the film’s soundtrack, acting in the film or both. Featuring: Northern Lights, Your Man Alex Smith, Broken Leg, The Disgruntled Taxpayers, Plant Based Disgrace, Canny and Hall, and Wakan Pheonix.
Why: ‘The Disgruntled Taxpayers’ – worth it just to go and congratulate them on a fantastic choice of name.
