The Velvet Club

The Velvet Club brings their bold take on Aussie indie-rock to the legendary Evelyn Hotel on Saturday, April 19! Velvet's music conjures feelings of melancholy and highlights an increasingly isolated youth population. Tales of love and loss from Melbourne City's concrete jungle, TVC's anthemic choruses and searing instrumentation make them a must-see band – a diamond in the rough of Melbourne's indie rock scene.

Local the Neighbour's eclectic discography takes pieces of inspiration from just about every variant of guitar music since its inception – Alex G, Elliott Smith, Cleaners From Venus, Jai Paul – run through Local's distinct perspectives, resulting in some of the most exciting and off-kilter rock to come out of this country lately. Not to be missed!

Powder Blue's version of the Australian funk and soul sound takes them to places rarely gone by their contemporaries. Sparks of King Crimson, Funkadelic, and Barrett-era Pink Floyd give Powder Blue's winding and hypnotic music a certain X factor uncommon in such young bands.
