Madre Monte

Melbourne 9 piece Latin/Reggae band, Madre Monte, play the deep, spellbinding grooves of Colombia in an Australian setting, allowing Australian audiences to get a taste of these captivating sounds. The band was born in 2008 when Colombians Mauro Gomez and Henry Peña felt a great need to play and represent their native Colombian sounds and rhythms in Australia.
After seeing that the music needed more energy, more friends started joining the project. Drums,trumpet, percussion, guitars and other instruments like saxophone and trombone became members of what Madre Monte is today.

My Left Boot

My Left Boot combine elements of 70s fuzz rock, 60s psychedelia and grunge era heavyness with high energy and pinch of salt to form a band that is both exciting and high in blood pressure. The group began early in 2005, initially with an aim to make postcards and wrapping paper, but it quickly developed into a music project when the home craft industry suddenly crashed. In late 2005 The Boot released "Season of the Time", a 5 track EP which gave hints of their developing sound.

Custom Kings

Since forming in 2002, the Custom Kings have evolved into an unidentifiable outfit emersed in musical variation. Always in motion are the Kings whose love for diversity has seen them infuse junk-yard jazz with capo’d folk; appalachian picking with loose indie hop - and blues with everything. Signed to Liberation on the back of an 8-track home recording, they emerged from the studio with a collection of songs custom made for listeners who prefer music undefined.

Mother And Father

Mother and Father is a heavy demented three piece pop/punk band that spawned from the black depths of central Victoria. Dirtier, inferior and more abrasive is the only way to describe the tragedy that is Mother and Father. Were nothing. New album out soon.
