RED DIRT BLUES – "I GOTTA GO" EP LAUNCH
The Catfish (Fitzroy, VIC)
Friday, 1 May 2026 7:30 pm
Mayday! Mayday! Sci-fi Blues from the Red Centre landing at The Catfish
The desert follows you. Doesn't matter if you're standing in the red dirt or on the sticky floor of The Catfish, Fitzroy—that silence, that heat, it gets in your bones. J.M. "Polecat" Poulson knows. He's been chasing the frayed frequency from Hobart to Phnom Penh, and it led him here: to the white-hot heart of the red centre, where primitive boogie got cooked up raw.
Now he's back with ten inches of sexy black vinyl and a rattle-and-thump accomplice, Stuart "Tart" Robertson on drums. They're hitting The Catfish stage with a little help from their friends, plus two killer support acts you don't want to miss.
Julien Poulson (The Cambodian Space Project/Moler) launches his Red Dirt Blues
Friday, May 1. Doors 8 pm.
First twenty through the door walk away with the EP free. Listening copy only. After that? $15 pre-sale, $20 on the night. Sci-Fi Blues from the Red Centre. Slim Dusty through a fuzz box. Diesel and truckstops. Swamp-blues under a blood-red moon. Twang, reverb, space echoes... get set for a wild night of psychedelic swampcat blues and boogie!
The desert's listening. You gonna be there?
