A Whale Called Phoenix

AWCP are a five-piece indie, acoustic based band from Melbourne, pitched somewhere where the desert meets the sea. Forming in 2012 as a duo, life-long friends Jimmy (Phoenix) Pollock and Anthony Nero set out to record songs and music videos using their iPhones in an attempt to capture more “honest” sounds away from studio trickery. In 2014, the pair began playing live and unplugged in more and more unconventional settings - lounge rooms, backyards, record stores, warehouse parties, giant bean bag factories and in a two-man inflatable boat sailing down a water catchment drain in the middle of nowhere suburbia. In the summer of 2015, Nero and Phoenix took their sound to a string of pubs and bars in St Kilda where they would play to their wives, Jimmy’s mum and various house sound guys. Great times had by all! AWCP set upon the mysterious Heatherton Trail to find some extra magic to widen their sound. This came in the shape of long-time compadres Anthony ‘Quesadilla’ Casey on bass.

THE BAD RANDYS

The Bad Randys are a familiar name at some of Melbourne's most iconic band rooms, including Cactus Room, The Grace Darling and Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar. 2021 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the band, as it brings with it their anticipated first single, 'Serotonin'.
