Husband and wife team The Belafontes make the sound of 5 people in a 2-piece band. Their signature back and forth lyrics and harmonies define their love soaked garage rock sound. They make music that makes you happy, setting them apart from their more depressing contemporaries in Melbourne. They’ve found success on Triple J and Triple J Unearthed domestically, as well as rotation and radio play in the US, most notably on Rodney Bingenheimer’s “Rodney on the rock” Sirius XM show.

Influences: Elliott Smith, Massive Attack, Nirvana, Radiohead, The Beatles, R.E.M., Queens of The Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins, dEUS etc... etc...

Dead Albatross are an eclectic, electronic rock group from Melbourne. Stylistically they range from psychedelia to garage rock to synth-pop, often within the same song. 

Originally formed as a recording project between like-minded music nerds, they emerged as a fully-fledged band in 2012 with their debut EP, “Sampler”, a collection of electronic, psychedelic pop songs. They immediately began work on their follow-up  with an expanded line-up and a “more refined, but still highly experimental sound”. 

“Die Wunderbastards” was released in May 2014 and received radio play on community networks across Australia including FBi Radio, 3RRR and PBS as well as a glowing write-up from Happy.

2015 will see the release of their debut album “May Your Beard Grow Long and Your Music Be Experimental”, a project the group has been working on for two years. The lead single “Help! Help! I Need an Adult!” and accompanying video will be released in July.
