Tomas Ford

Crowds start staring at Tomás Ford before he even drops a beat. He enters, resplendent in sequins, black denim and sparkling make-up. He shakes hands with the crowd, says some polite greetings and makes some small talk. Then he's all over the room. It's sudden; the music's changed... it’s an unusual combination of electro, glam and punk, but it’s definitely got you in a party mood. He’s a fun and disorienting showman, pogo'ing all over the venue, pulling jazz dance moves, launching himself onto unsuspecting crowd members and generally pushing everyone's boundaries.

Rocketsmiths

The rabble-rousing Rocketsmiths are at it again, with the release of new single ‘Underground’ – the Brisbane quintet’s rock ode to riding a slippery slope into depravity. Whether an autobiographical tale or not, the track is the first sign of the good times to come from their Magoo produced debut album titled The Bones, to be released nationally mid-year. The antipated debut album moves firmly in the direction of indie-rock and punk party jams, following the country/rockabilly tinged explorations of the EPs Parts, Pieces and Meet Horace And Clyde.
