Pop Mutations & Freakender present: Mini Skirt + Special Guests MINISKIRT - hit like a sunburn, with a dry, stinging take on modern Australian punk. After rattling the walls of every bar, basement, pub and DIY venue they could find on their 18 stop 2022 European tour, Australia’s favourite post punk sons are back this summer to eat, drink and yell their way across the continent. With their second full length album ready to hurl at the world Mini Skirt continue to deliver their brand of jagged, raw political Aussie punk. New singles and a finely sharpened live show continue to put Mini Skirt at the forefront of the politically inspired noisescape. All grit and no glammer, Mini Skirt’s noisey body of work is underpinned by lyricist and visual artist Jacob Boylan, painting a picture of the modern social climate, every verse and chorus a well-crafted and concise assessment that has the listener replaying each line to be sure they don't miss a word. With a starting spot in France’s Binic Festival and a supporting slot with fellow Aussies Amyl and The Sniffers in Italy it’s clear their sound has takenhold. Paying homage to Australian pioneers such as X and Radio Birdman, Mini Skirts sound remains raw and honest it’s no surprise they remain close to Australian alumni the Cosmic Psychos, and COFFIN. Perfect for fans of Amyl and The Sniffers, Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Viagra Boys.

The Cosmic Dead are an amorphous blob of wah-drivenspace rock energy beaming in to their home planet of Glasgow to launch their tenth album, 'Beyond The Beyond' out April 17th on Heavy Psych Sounds. The Cosmic Dead's exploratory compositions often reach levels of sonic destruction through reflective repetition and visceral harmony. The band has taken many forms since their inception in 2010 and was hailed as "the loudest psychedelic rock band on the planet" by legendary compere Kozmik Ken. At the base of the current sonic obliteration team is a rhythm section of Tommy Duffin and Omar Aborida, a thunderous and cohesive unit that is then further propelled into the outer realms by Luigi Pasquini, providing frantic italo synthesized electronics along with Calum Calderwood's mind-bending, sky-shattering fiddle acrobatics. 'Beyond the Beyond' is an open gate into the farthest reaches of the fiery foursome's realms. Far from 2024's urgent and jam-driven Infinite Peaks, this new album sees the band at their most focused, casting their gaze towards the Middle East with four intoxicating songs propelled by riff-rolling fusion-tinged rhythms, head-bobbing grooves and warm electronic textures, all wah-laden and with phasers set to destroy. An absolute feast for the ears and heart for fans of The Ohsees, Carlton Melton, resund Space Collective, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Electric Moon and outer space. Support comes from the driven heavy punk action of Attack of the Stick Insects along with trans-continental psychedelic conquistadors The First Morning. Times: 19:00 - Doors 19:30 til 20:00 - The First Morning 20:15 til 20:45 - Attack of the Stick Insects 21:00 til end - The Cosmic Dead
