Donna and the Dynamos are a female band formed by Donna Sheridan, along with her friends Tanya Chesham-Leigh and Rosie Mulligan.
The sequel gives us a sneak peek in Donna and the Dynamos in their younger years. The band is already a known group by all their peers at college, as seen during their graduation scene and their performance of When I Kissed the Teacher. Tanya and Rosie follow Donna to Greece to perform in Lazaros and Sophia's tavern, and bring their equipment and costumes along.

Formed in 2022 in Brunswick, Melbourne, Sheep have established themselves as one of the most captivating and inspired bands in their genre today. Elements of Tool, Melvins, and the A1 Retards sound can be heard throughout their catalog, but Sheep are no replayed copycat band. Through energy-fuelled, catastrophic live performances and the defined aggressive tension present on their recordings, the band are gaining a devout following sure only to keep growing in the years to come.

Jeb Cardwell, a guitarist, singer, songwriter whose music takes you back to the glory days when guitar-driven riffs and rich vocals were king.
A two-time winner of the SAMIA (South Australian Music Industry) award for ‘Most Outstanding Guitarist’, Jeb is also an experienced performer having opened for artists such as Steve Earle and Tony Joe White. He is also an accomplished songwriter collaborating with his sister Abbie Cardwell to co-write ‘Anchored’ which won them the American BMI Songwriting Competition.

After spending a lifetime in multiple bands and as a recording sideman for a diverse range of artists including Chris Altman (Que Paso), Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson (Wreck & Ruin), Van Walker (Celestial Railroads) and ‘Triple J Unearthed’ winner sister Abbie Cardwell, Jeb set out in 2017 to pursue a solo career. After a three year period of writing, recording, re-writing, and re-recording, his debut studio album My Friend Defiance is ready for the world.

My Friend Defiance, a bluesy, Americana, Beatles-esque lesson in guitar tones dripping with Southern swagger. Interweaving synth and piano melodies, slide guitar riffs, rich and soulful vocals and some of the best song-writing Melbourne has seen, Jeb Cardwell's attention to detail is evident in every step of this production.

Three singles have already been released with ‘Blood Moon’ reaching #2 on the AMRAP charts.

Written, recorded and mixed at Union St Studios and mastered by Grammy award-winning Brian Lucey (Black Keys, Lucinda Williams, Liam Gallagher), My Friend Defiance features the crème de la crème of Melbourne's recording artists: Roger Bergadoz (Lost Ragas, Tex Perkins, Jordie Lane), Tim McCormack (Stella Angelico, Downhills Home), Bernie McMahon (Tracy McNeil & The Good Life, Jeff Lang), Mic Hubbard (Spencer P. Jones, Eagle and the Worm) and the Wolfgramm Sisters. Special guests include Kasey Chambers and Butch Norton (Eels, Lucinda Williams).

Jeb’s debut studio album ‘My Friend Defiance’ is out now on iTunes and Spotify through ‘Blind Date Records’.

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death.
