We stand for a creative culture. We were born to bring a message to the streets. We come together, our voice as one. We sing together to get this thing done.

We bring the bass. We bang the drum. 
We blow the horn. The guitars we strum. 
We play the keys. And have the harmonies.

We are Bearfoot.

Our fists in the air, white knuckle.

Our voices out loud, no struggle.

The John Butler Trio are John Butler, Grant Gerathy (Drums), Byron Luiters (Bass)  http://www.johnbutlertrio.com @johnbutlertrio

Cheap Fakes are a much loved six-piece live band from South East Queensland’s music scene, ready to unleash their pop infused, brass fuelled funk and ska sounds to audiences across the country. 

With two well received albums to their credit (2010’s ‘Stones & Sticks’ and 2012’s ‘Hand Me Downs’) and a resume littered with countless national supports (including The Black Seeds and Kora), as well as local billing with Cody Chesnutt, Charles Bradley, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Cheap Fakes are a force to be reckoned with. 

2015 is shaping up to be the bands biggest year yet as they prepare for the release of their third longplayer, ‘Modern Vintage’. Recorded with Grammy nominated John Merchant (Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Bee Gees and Barbara Streisand) Cheap Fakes brought the American producer out to Australia for the ‘Modern Vintage’ sessions at world class Heliport Studios. 

You can expect to find Cheap Fakes at any number of live venues as they build momentum ahead of the winter release of the new album. And with the band having already graced the stages of Valley Fiesta, Caloundra Music Festival, Big Pineapple Music Festival, Island Vibe, Golden Days and more, next summer looks like reaping a bumper crop for the dapper dressed lads who currently call Brisbane home. 

Now this is the kind of music you want to be starting the weekend with, preferably chilling out in the sun with a cold one – Music Riot, UK.
The Floating Bridges (QLD) create infectious roots music, blending together big lively ska grooves, thick bottom end bass lines and smooth four part vocal harmonies – perfect for the dance floor! 
The Sunny Coast 7 piece have long been known for their passion and dedication to music, culture, community, and the environment, forever paying respect to those who have gone before and the land they walk upon. They are avid ambassadors for Sea Shepherd and the Sunshine Butterflies. 

In 2012, TFB released and toured (AUS/NZ) their first studio album ‘Chasing Sunsets’, with classic ‘Bridges’ tunes like ‘Soul Searcher’, an ode to living life free without negativity, and that’s what we ‘Like To See’, written about their journey’s in and around Byron Bay.

500 shows wiser, the band released their 2nd album ‘Creatures of Leisure’ (2015), gaining international exposure with ‘Dreamcatcher’, a song for the imagination, clipped with punchy rhythm guitar and the wah-wahing lead, fusing the two styles of Rock and Roots, to lay down a backing for Cale Fisher’s rasping delivery of a deliciously catchy melody. The very Australian dreamcatcher theme is echoed in the video clip, a surreal woodland combination of “Alice in Wonderland” and a dreadlocked Artful Dodger. The Floating Bridges spent the majority of 2015 touring the ‘Creatures’ album across Australia and the UK with feature performances at festivals like Boomtown Fair (UK), Secret Garden Party (UK), Big Pineapple (AUS) and Woodford Folk Festival (AUS).

2016 saw the release and tour of ‘Finer Things in Life’ across Australia, with its fresh vibes taking it to no.6 on the National AMRAP Regional Charts. Recorded at the Tanuki Lounge with Aria award winner Paulie B (George), this song shines a light on doing the things that make you happy, more often than not. ‘Finer Things’ is smooth, tasty and can be described as ‘just right for summer’! 

2017 opens the door to new creativity for the ‘Bridges’, spending the first half of the year in the studio laying the foundations for their 3rd studio album which is to be released in November and toured nationally.

The Floating Bridges are on tour throughout May/June/July releasing their latest single ‘Power’ with shows across WA, NSW and QLD.

When you let your mind go, your body and soul will follow, until time becomes irrelevant and you’re simply dancing amongst friends.
