SPACE TRAVEL ROCK'N ROLL…

… can only mean one thing; the Return of SWERVEDRIVER. This time playing their classic debut RAISE in its entirety, plus an extended set of SWERVEDRIVER classics.

Born in 1989 out of Oxford UK, the band formerly known as Shake Appeal settled on their new moniker in time enough for Creation Records impresario Alan McGhee - on the recommendation of Ride guitarist Mark Gardener - to sign them on the strength of their demo. Those initial tracks would form much of the debut ep Son of Mustang Ford featuring the classic of the same name quickly followed by two further eps Rave Down and Sandblasted before, in 1991 landing on their debut full length LP Raise.

The album quickly became quickly a defining sound of early 90s underground alternative rock. Energised and inspired by the guitar heavy sounds of My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr, Husker Du and the like, Swervedriver perfected their own shimmering, guitar-clashing juggernaut with a uniquely British flavour firmly intact, with Melody Maker calling ‘Raise’ one of the “truly great albums of the year.”

"As an opening statement, Swervedriver couldn’t have been more sonically eloquent than Raise. This record was a blinding assault of guitars and their afterburn. In 1991, few records before it had both the power and dynamic reach.” - Trouser Press

"A perfect amalgam of shoegaze texture, power pop anthem and grunge heaviness” - Signal/Noise

Hip hop fans in Australia will be treated to an evening with two greats, welcoming respected American performer, activist and speaker BROTHER ALI back to our shores, joined by beloved Australian hip hop act HORRORSHOW, this September.

With his latest record, SATISFIED SOUL, the expansion of BROTHER ALI’s creative world was bolstered; the artist’s trademark insightfulness balanced with nuanced vulnerability and truthtelling alike. The album, fitting perfectly alongside nine other studio records, is testament to the way BROTHER ALI expertly cultivates soundscapes built on a foundation of provocative and uplifting hip hop.

Across his much lauded career, BROTHER ALI counts genre legends like Chuck D and Rakim as mentors, while his words have seen him command stages around the world as a headliner, as well as on iconic stages at events like Coachella and more.

The Gold-certified, ARIA nominated HORRORSHOW has continued to maintain status as one of Australian hip hop’s most important and respected acts. Since emerging onto Sydney’s scene in the mid-to-late 2000s, HORRORSHOW quickly became genre leaders; across five studio albums, HORRORSHOW solidified its place as a standout in Australian hip hop culture.

Keeping the spirit of the beloved catalogue fresh and alive at shows across the country in recent years, HORRORSHOW remains reinvigorated with each moment of reconnection with fans - new and longtime alike.

Their 1986 debut Epicus Doomicus Metallicus didn’t just introduce a band — it created a movement. Over the next four decades, Candlemass built a towering discography and enduring global legacy, earning Swedish Grammis Awards and were also nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in the US.
