CONCRETE SURFERS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM & AUSTRALIAN TOUR

National circuit main-stays CONCRETE SURFERS have spent the last decade touring the country, selling out shows, supporting major artists and continuously releasing ever-more refined music.

Today, the band have announced their debut self-titled album will be released on the 7th of August. The announcement of the record comes with the news of the band’s return to the road for a large national tour throughout August.

CONCRETE SURFERS have been meticulously working on their debut record for the past few years. The album is a culmination of everything that makes CONCRETE SURFERS so loved. It’s full of punchy lyrics, driving guitars.

15 years ago, beers were cheap, pubs were packed, and a band from Melbourne called The Bennies released their first full-length album… Party! Party! Party!

In the years that followed, the band crisscrossed the country in vans, playing beer-soaked rooms across Australia and making mates everywhere they went with their genre-smashing sound and ability to unite a room full of strangers.

Then on March 25, 2016, The Bennies release Wisdom Machine, the album that would define a generation of Australian punk.

Wisdom Machine became the soundtrack to a chapter of life for thousands of people around the globe. It was road trips with Detroit Rock Ciggies on repeat, stealing the aux at 2am to put on Legalise (But Don't Tax), and jumping with your arm around a mate while screaming Party Machine.

Fifteen years of memories. One massive party.

BOZZFEST – A BACK IN THE DAY REUNION

Lunar Maria returns to the Leadbeater hotel on September 3rd where they debuted earlier this year to launch their first EP 'Ode To Ouroborus'! Their sound is inspired by bands like Oasis, The Rolling Stones and The Faces. Lunar Maria gets their name from the moon's suspected oceans, but unlike their namesake their music holds water. It invites the listener to once again stare up at the stars with childlike wonder, to feel like you could reach out and hold them in your hand. To float past the weight of day to day, shed your shackles and fly.

They are flanked by the ever introspective Blanco Tranco, who have recently returned from their hiatus and are releasing their FIRST ALBUM on the 16th of september 'The Imagined Life'. They are eager to draw you into their intoxicating blend of dream-pop haze, and driving post-punk rhythms characterised by their signature raw emotive energy.

And Jackson Newitt's band who play an energetic mix of covers and heartfelt originals inspired by the likes of Malcolm Todd and the Backseat Lovers. They're a young band with a wealth of experience, and an unrivalled vitality which contributes to their warming atmosphere.
