Frente - Live at Mo's Desert Clubhouse
Frente are absolutely delighted to be setting out again to the sunrise side of life for an east coast feast of shows. Expect favourite tunes, a test run of a new song or two and a ridiculous obscurity thrown in for good measure. From the beer soaked carpet of the Punters Club in Fitzroy to massive stages the world over, Frente have won hearts and taken no prisoners with singles such as ‘Ordinary Angels’ ‘Labour of Love’ and their acoustic take on New Order’s ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’. While the world was celebrating all things grunge, Frente’s blend of alternative and folk pop set them apart to listeners the world over. The honesty of the performances and recordings, plus the thoughtful quirky riffs and structures of the songs drew logical comparisons of Simon’s guitar work to some of Jonny Marr’s work for the Smiths and Dave Gavurin for the Sundays. Vocally Angie’s presence was, at the time, truly unique; an Australian female singer singing in her native accent, rather than adopting the American vernacular of the day. This is an 18+ event

SPIDERBAIT Iconic Aussie rockers Spiderbait will hit the road with their Black Betty 20th Anniversary Tour this August, September and October, playing an extensive run of shows to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their seminal 2004 album, Tonight Alright and standout track, ‘Black Betty’.

Renowned for their dynamic on-stage energy, Spiderbait are without doubt one of the country’s most beloved live acts. Most recently touring Australia in 2022, the trio shows no sign of slowing down, their intensity and camaraderie endearing them to fans right across the globe. “Spiderbait made a mighty lush sound… They played with an energising, steamrolling pace that never let up” – MusicFeeds “… a roaring set, high energy, pub/alt-rock, shouting and groovy” – The Music The story of Spiderbait is an unlikely but heart-warming one – three friends from a small Australian country town taking on the music scene, and emerging triumphantly thirty years later, friendship intact, and now one of the biggest and best rock bands on the national landscape. The trio’s popularity spans three decades and shows no signs of abating. They’ve released seven acclaimed albums and chalked up almost every Australian accolade possible, taking home multiple ARIA Awards, topping charts and becoming the first Australian band to take the crown in triple j’s prestigious Hottest 100 of 1996 with ‘Buy Me A Pony’. Australian rock ‘n roll royalty, and with a catalogue of music that’s distinctive and uncompromising, Spiderbait’s anticipated Black Betty 20th Anniversary Tour will see the band playing their greatest hits and celebrating their greatest hit of all.
