IMMY OWUSU & SENSIBLE J W/ THE MOUTH + DJ TINIKA
Time-bending space ambassador Immy Owusu and collaborator Sensible J will be landing at Kindred Bandroom in Footscray this August. They bring a psychedelic, soulful energy that feels like it slipped through a portal from an alternate afrocentric 1970s. Australian audiences have been captivated by the hypnotic blend of African-inspired rhythms, coastal Victorian surf rock vibes, and hip-hop beats this duo has created since the 2025 release of The Spiritual War.
Equally mesmerising, The Mouth will open. This 5-piece group featuring Melbourne veteran Ray Pereira has just returned from Dark Mofo in Hobart. Blending Afro-Cuban and Sri Lankan drum technique with innovative melody that transcends a single geographical influence. When The Mouth speak, you will want to listen.
Closing out the night, Tinika will keep the energy flowing with a dynamic DJ set. Dedicated to amplifying underground sounds across Australia, Tinika is more than a DJ and producer: she’s a sonic storyteller, radio presenter, event curator, and educator. Drawing inspiration from the bass-heavy rhythms of the UK and the rich musical legacy of the Afro-Diaspora, Tinika takes creative risks to craft immersive journeys that move bodies. Her artistry reflects not just sound, but culture, intention, and presence.
~~
Kindred acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land that this event is to be held on, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present. Always was, always will be.
This venue is wheelchair accessible.
