The Radiators

The rock 'n' roll road to stardom is a dangerous road indeed littered  with the corpses of starry eyed hopeful's, wannabes ,one hit wonders and jagged "if only's"...while many bands self-implode before they even leave the garage, victims of classic clashing egos and personalities ......

Few survive…

One of these survivors is Australian band THE RADIATORS who in 2013 celebrated 35 years together since they played their very first show.

Smoke Stack Rhino are a four-piece band from Melbourne, Australia renowned for their unique blend of Blues, Grunge, Southern Rock and Funk.

Formed in 2013 around the concept of “bringing the blues back to the mosh pit”, the band has successfully reconciled the gap across the blues, roots and rock music genres.

The band recently self-funded and released its debut album, “Love and Other Monsters”. In what could be a first for an Australian artist all recording, mixing, mastering, production and publicity for the album was financed through 2 years of live performances.

Z Star Delta

right

Z-STAR DELTA is the stripped back delta blues rock folk flipside of British rock band Z-STAR.

The explosive duo features guitar prodigy Sebastien Heintz with the electrifying award-winning frontwoman Zee Gachette deemed “one to watch” by BBC Radio 2, on acoustic guitar and drums, who effortlessly deliver a fascinating cinematic road trip of sound.

From the acoustic sublime, to rambunctious rock, and beyond; Zee’s hypnotic presence, bewitching raspy blue tones, big acoustic guitars and swampy grooves laced with Seb's dark desert slide, psyche blues guitars and synth make for a beautifully dangerous concoction.

Nicole Brophy

right

Nicole Brophy has a voice and style compared to the likes of PJ Harvey, Lucinda Williams & La Roux. Stylistically it fits somewhere between gritty rock, alt-country hoedowns and moody, bluesy numbers, all brought together by a raw charismatic rockin’ earthy voice and boundless energy. She has an undeniable presence on stage, always moving, engaging the crowd, playing acoustic or electric guitar and just driving her passion into her songs.
