Tees and Tunes

Tees and Tunes is a live music event with a twist. Alongside showcase performances from a bunch of awesome bands, there will be a merchandise marketplace where you will be able to buy CD's, tees and other merchandise of the performing bands! All ticket sale profit from this event will be donated to Beyond Blue in an effort to assist those who are struggling with their mental health. We recognise that the music industry can foster a negative state of mind, due to the knock-backs, loneliness, financial struggles and fatigue.

I am wanting to feel how the ground is wet all around my body so if I am sweating, I am feeling like it is the ground sweating through me. And I am wanting to stay in this same place forever, never moving for anything, just waiting waiting until dust is piling on me and grasses is covering me and insect is making their home in the space between my teeths". - Uzodinma Iweala - Beasts of No Nation (2005) -

Integrity - Australian tour

W/Supports tba

Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in underground and modern metal history, apocalyptic icons INTEGRITY return with their highly anticipated, 12th studio album entitled Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume. A conceptual foretelling of the final days of Armageddon, Howling is a manifestation of pentecostal nightmares and religious depravities, wrought with fire and brimstone sermons and occult prophecies bathed in waves of destruction. Now with almost 30 years of creating dark and terrifying anthems under their belt, INTEGRITY have honored their past musical legacy while fearlessly moving forward into unchartered territory on what is undoubtedly their most elaborate and ambitious effort to date.
