Blue Moon Sessions ft. Jazz Residents Charles Malovnek Trio

*Hello, come and join me for my very first Australian shows as **#1 Dads** in six years. May it be merry and the first of many more. Much love x #1D*

*The quiet achiever; The record holder; The cult favourite; The #1 Dad*

**#1 Dads** is the solo project of **Tom Iansek**, a valuable, proudly independent fixture of the Australian music scene for over two decades as one half of the multi-award-winning **Big Scary **and **No Mono**, and an in-demand producer (Maple Glider, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Paper Kites, Ruby Gill, Lisa Mitchell, and more).

Animated by intimate, understated arrangements and lyrical honesty, #1 Dads is a perfect introduction to Iansek's sonic authenticity and rich, rewarding music. His gentle melodies and less-is-more production make for homely yet sophisticated pop songs that have seen the Australian-born, London-based artist become an unassuming cult favourite, beloved with fans and critics alike.

Debuting as #1 Dads with 2011's Man of Leisure, Iansek further showcased his sincere, quietly innovative songcraft with 2014's** ARIA-nominated ***About Face*** **and 2020's** ***Golden Repair*. Born of a period of dramatic upheaval, *Every Little Fire* is the Melbourne-bred, London-based artist's most deeply personal record.

*Every Little Fire*, the fourth #1 Dads album, due October 16 via Pieater.

**PRE-SAVE EVERY LITTLE FIRE HERE.** https://1dads.lnk.to/EveryLittleFire

The record arrives six years after 2020's *Golden Repair* and follows a period of profound personal upheaval - a transatlantic relocation, a growing family, the particular vertigo of dismantling one life and building another from scratch. "It was not an easy thing to do," Iansek says. "It has been an insane, wonderful, chaotic, intense and joyful period of my life." *Every Little Fire*, in both title and execution, takes that turbulence seriously.

Produced and mixed by Iansek himself, in small rooms, including a DIY bedroom studio, *Every Little Fire* reflects the conditions of its making. Imperfections were left in. Longer, unvarnished takes. Tempo fluctuations. Breaths. The result is an album that sounds handmade in the best sense: intimate without being precious, and honest without being confessional for its own sake.

CULT Comedy hosted by Rob Braslin

**Supported by Double J**

This October and November, **Rowena Wise** takes her full band on the road for 10+ dates across Australia to support her sophomore album, *Bad Things Feel Good**. The record is a tender, point-blank look at the pain of transformation and what it means to be flesh and blood &mdash; from Melbourne to Brisbane, Sydney to Hobart and beyond.

Written over two years of near-constant touring and recorded live over three days at The Ratshack in Collingwood with producer Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri), the album traces heartbreak, estrangement, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood through candid poetic lyricism and a raw live production. The songs hold space rather than demand attention, and live, they hit even harder.

Since debuting in 2018, she has amassed over 10 million streams, earned airplay across **triple j**, **Double j** and **Unearthed**, and toured extensively across Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, supporting artists including **Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning** and **Paul** **Dempsey**. Her 2024 debut album, *Senseless Acts of Beauty*, was praised by **CLASH Magazine** as &ldquo;*carefully etched indie folk*&rdquo; and shortlisted for the **Australian Music Prize**. Her highly anticipated sophomore album, *Bad Things Feel Good**, a tender, point-blank meditation on transformation, is out August 7, 2026 via Beloved Records.

*"Carefully etched indie folk"* &mdash; **CLASH Magazine**
*"Fragrant introspection"* &mdash; **FLOOD**

With support from** ****Constantina and the Constant Divas.**

ROWENA WISE—Bad Things Feel Good* Album Launch (Band show)

**HOBOFOPO is celebrating 10 Years!** Join the party as we** **take over both levels of Altar from 6pm til 2am this November for all of your favourite folk-punk acts in one building!

Feat.
The Crooked Fiddle Band (NSW)
Myles Bullen (USA)
Gusto Gusto (VIC)
Billy Puntton and the Mental Health Plan (NSW)
Jodie Flange (QLD)
Impeach Churchill! (VIC/TAS)
Teresa Dixon and the Deep Blue Sea (TAS)
Sam Bucca (NSW)
..and late night open mic (YOU!)

**Free entry upstairs | $30pp + bf downstairs** (or free with a festival pass ticket)

**BUY TICKETS AT HOBOFOPO HERE**

**THE CROOKED FIDDLE BAND** (NSW) the ARIA nominated 'chainsaw folk' band will be celebrating their 20th this year, and including HOBOFOPO on their calendar. No strangers to Tasmania, nor to most festival stages around the country, these four virtuosos mix blasts of fiery folk with intense and atmospheric post- and prog-rock.

**MYLES BULLEN** (USA) is a ukulele-playing rapper and spoken-word poet from Portland, Maine. Myles has toured nearly every state in the US as well as many European countries performing packed shows at music venues, colleges, recovery centers, prisons, festivals, and libraries. He sings songs about grief, mental health, navigating identity, relationships, and cartoon lore.

**GUSTO GUSTO** (VIC) are West Preston's finest 7-piece high energy funk-folk instrumental outfit. Finalists for the Australian Folk Music Awards' Artist of the Year for the past three years, they've been busy touring nationally and internationally. So much so that you've probably seen them, especially if you were dancing to something raucous late at a folk festival – it was probably them.

**BILLY PUNTTON AND THE MENTAL HEALTH PLAN** (NSW) is Dexi Powered folk-punk-rock with big angry sad songs exclusively about mental health that you will like. Sometimes we call it 'Trash Emo'.

**JODIE FLANGE** (QLD) Front woman of Flangipanis, the band has recently hung up its hat but Jodie lingers on. Fuelled by apathy and usually also alcohol, the songs vary in theme but retain that familiar underlying fury. Jodie has been to HOBOFOPOs in the past and has not yet been exiled, which is a remarkable feature given the sharp tongue and dark humour.

SLY WITHERS—TBH ALBUM TOUR with Special Guests TOWNS & Bad Neighbour

**Frenzal Rhomb's Sans Souci turns 23 - and we're celebrating!
**
Here at **Frenzal Rhomb**, the number 23 has always been important to us. 23 pairs of human chromosomes, William Burroughs' 23 enigma, Psalm 23 in the bible, &ldquo;the Lord is my shepherd&rdquo;; we've always been big with shepherds.
Actually, that's all nonsense, we just missed the 20th, and the world may not make it until the 25th, so this year we're celebrating the 23rd anniversary of *Sans Souci*!

The difficult sixth album, Sans Souci saw us back with Camel producer Eddie Ashworth for sixteen sweet servings of shrewd social commentary slid inside some superb punk pop skins, including the green-tinged morality tale of &ldquo;Bucket Bong&rdquo;, the complicated relationship drama of &ldquo;I Went Out With A Hippy And Now I Love Everyone Except For Her&rdquo;, even trying our hand at sports metal with &ldquo;Punisher&rdquo;.

There was the Kernaghanesque &ldquo;Looking Good&rdquo;, the Gastro-rock of &ldquo;Ballchef&rdquo;, and that song about Russell Crowe's band we've been advised by our lawyers not to talk about.
And heaps more!
And we're gonna play them all* on the Frenzal Rhomb Sans Souci 23rd Anniversary Tour.
A marquee event! And it's still French for &ldquo;no worries&rdquo;.
Get tickets now before Russell Crowe's lawyers get back in touch!
*
*look we may not make it through the whole album, and we probably won't play it in order. So don't go getting all weird and complain like that one person did on the Camel tour. We'll give it all a red hot go though.*

Frenzal Rhomb—‘Sans Souci 23rd Anniversary’ Tour + WOOLWORTHS FLU SHOT & CRAB

**Tijuana Cartel** fuse deep electronic grooves with flamenco guitar, Middle-Eastern motifs and punchy trumpet lines to create a sound that's unmistakably their own. The project began on Australia's Gold Coast with guitarist Paul George and producer/keyboardist Carey O'Sullivan; it has since evolved into a powerhouse live outfit featuring  percussionist Sheila Finke and a rotating roster of trumpet virtuosos such as Tristan Rogers.

Their shows are equal parts club workout and global street party&mdash;layered soundscapes, heavy bass and kinetic percussion that turn curiosity into catharsis. From Splendour in the Grass, WOMAD and Woodford to Earth Frequency, Chi Wow Wah Town and beyond, the band have carved out their own corner of the Australian festival circuit, while tours through Europe and the USA have won them an ever-growing international following.

*Watching them perform is a whole-body experience that transports you.* &mdash;The AU Review

*Tijuana Cartel have established their reputation as one of the most fearsome live bands in the country.* &mdash; Sydney Morning Herald

*&hellip; like a trip to the moon. Watching them perform is a whole-body experience that transports you. Paul's skill on the guitar is unparalleled and time seems to slow as you watch him create art through his instrument.* &mdash; Katelyn Rew, The Au Review

*Wanna know how good this song is? When I played it on House Party SIA tweeted me wanting to know what it was?! Crazy! And well deserved.* &mdash;Nina Las Vegas (Triple J Unearthed)

Tijuana Cartel—with Future Roots

**After eight years, Hobart's Cyber-NoiseCore trio SMUG ANIME FACE are calling it quits. From humble beginnings at little bands, to regular support slots for some of the heaviest touring bands including Rotten Sound, Full Of Hell, Onanizer, Hexis. 4 DIY releases including their debut LP [PACHI] out on Hobart's Psychedelic Salad Records, Over the top amplifier worship floor shows, literally mashing a hot pink piano, a couple of mainland tours and generally being noisey bois. Come and celebrate the time that was SMUG ANIME FACE and get on down to this epically stacked final show featuring their favourite acts / friends they have made along the way and releasing their final and first limited release cassette&mdash;aptly titled FUCK OFF AND DIE!&mdash;****at ****ALTAR BAR** **on Saturday 21 Nov.**

Joining Smug Anime Face will be 3 of Naarm/Melbournes loudest most punishingly violent acts.

**TONGUE DISSOLVER: **are a blistering NoRave anarcho punk/tech trio who will tear apart any dance floor with weaponised synths/samplers/drums/screams. No holds barred, they will absolutely rip.

**DIPLOID: **bring a cacophony of grind, noise, black metal and hardcore punk to the forefront of our dystopian reality. The result of this experimentation is the darkest, oppressive, emotional, and yet beautiful sound to come out of Naarm.

**ESP MAYHEM: **play all synth, no guitar, future shock-grindcore that will elevate your being to the harshest depths of your psyche. Literally the fastest monophonic grindcore band in the world and their first time visiting Lutruwita/Hobart.

Joining this already massive lineup are local Tech death legends **COMPULSIVE GEOPHAGIA **who have been gaining a ridiculous amount of momentum and melting faces across the state. And Smug's personally favourite Hobart screamo noise act **OAF** who have been blowing minds and melting hearts with every transformation.

+ special guest live projection by artist **GLASOON** who will be transforming Altar Bar into a violent gritty dreamscape to carry you along while having all your sensors destroyed.
