***'ask me again next year' EP Tour ***
***Friday 14th August 2026 - 6PM ***
***The Servo, Port Kembla ***

One of Australia’s most compelling new alternative acts, Newcastle/Mulubinba five-piece horse are hitting the road this July and August for their biggest headline tour to date, celebrating the release of their debut EP, Ask me again next year.

Taking in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, alongside special hometown shows in Newcastle the tour marks an exciting new chapter for the rapidly rising band. 

Since emerging in late 2024, horse have built a reputation for emotionally charged songwriting and immersive, intense live performances. Moody, dynamic and deeply atmospheric, their shows pull audiences into a raw and vulnerable sonic world that lingers long after the final note.

With a set that features breakout singles “Blight” and “Headlights”, alongside new EP cuts “gloss” and “Under Your Sun”, the Ask me again next year tour is the first chance to experience new material live, and a rare opportunity to catch one of Australia’s most exciting new bands in intimate rooms before they outgrow them.

Blood Thinners
Tired Girl
Black Wax

Ticket sales going to PANDA (perinatal anxiety + depression Australia)

Blood Thinners: Formed on Cadigal Land (Sydney) in 2024, Blood Thinners is Mara, Matt, Tim, and Jay. With an identity closely bound to personal experiences of parenthood, toxic bloodlines, and self-empowerment, the band’s songs reflect their origins in punk and hardcore alongside their maturity and desire for transformation. Adding to this a diverse breadth of musical influences, Blood Thinners have been steadily crafting a dynamic and original indie-post-punk sound steeped in melody and motion.

Tired Girl: The solo project of Liz Tillman (TEES), Tired Girl makes music that sounds like it belongs in that liminal zone between asleep and awake, where your subconscious runs unbridled between reflection, fear, pleasure and mystery. Stepping out independently as a producer and songwriter in 2020, Tired Girl embraces the spontaneity of the writing process without losing integrity and intention. Her sound is one that leans on layering rich vocals and harmonies amidst droning bass lines, dark gritty tones and carefully placed percussion and beats. It’s music that sounds right at 3am, be it the soundtrack to a moonlight walk along the beach, or to catching someone’s eye as last drinks are called at the club. If a choir of angels met in a dirty cement warehouse filled with rusted metal, they’d sound something like this.

Black Wax: Sydney/Eora-based BlackWax delivers a playful fusion of fuzzed-out guitars, bluesy melodies, swirling psychedelia, and lyricism rooted in narratives. Newly formed, the band features Claire Evans on vocals and keys, Sean MacKenzie on guitar, Warwick Poulton on bass, and Bonnie Blaxall on drums. The members have previously featured in acts such as Baddrip, Dunhill Blues, Dolly Rocker Movement, and Silver Moon. Trading in heavy riffs and vintage textures, BlackWax creates a sound that is both nostalgic and modern.

The Servo, PK
Sunday 16th August 2026 - 2pm

Horse Drawn Cadillac and local favourites The Overnight Lows return to The Servo

for a rare Sunday Sesh together.

It’s been a little while since HDC has visited here, and they have been running hot in the Year of

The Fire Horse on the back of their Wayward Emotions album, and are ramping up for the Spring

Festival season, so it’s a good time to get those boots moving as they take a journey from Chicago

down the Mississippi to Nawlin’s in soulful, bluesy, swampy, swaying style.

Their good friends and ours the Overnight Lows are back with their own unique blend of Blues,

Country and Rock too ! On the card are lowdown gritty songs of Bankrobbers, Coalminers and

Outcasts, and a distinct possibility of some bootscooting. And as a matter of (horsed for) the

courses , some special guests may wander into the saloon slinging ….

Come join us at The Servo from 4PM, Sunday August 16th!

***BODY TYPE 
Tally Album Tour***

Over the past decade, Body Type have established themselves as one of Australia’s most acclaimed and compelling bands. Since forming in Sydney in 2016, they have released two celebrated albums, earned an Australian Music Prize nomination, toured extensively throughout Australia, Europe and the UK, and shared stages with Foo Fighters, Fontaines D.C., Pixies, Big Thief, Warpaint, Sleater-Kinney and Cate Le Bon.

Now, the four-piece return with Tally, their third album and most ambitious work to date. Marking the band’s tenth anniversary, Tally captures a group taking stock, embracing change and pushing their sound into bold new territory while retaining the wit, charm and sharp observations that have become their trademark.

Recorded in Los Angeles with acclaimed producer Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett), Tally draws inspiration from a wide range of sources: the work of artist Louise Bourgeois, misty drives through the Hollywood Hills, 10 years of history as a band. The album transforms the everyday into something surreal, witty and profound while exploring love, friendship, insecurity and the strange beauty hidden within ordinary life.

Rich Medina is an elite DJ who’s captivating narrative plays like no other. His love affair

internationally renowned career as a platinum selling record producer, recording artist, poet,

Jump-N-Funk, North America’s original Fela Kuti tribute, Rich provided a blueprint for the

world’s newfound interest in Afrobeat, which stands without peer to this day. His HOME

residencies in NYC, Philadelphia and Los Angeles pay tribute to Larry Levan and the

foundations of classic New York club life. In 2021, Rich was selected as the primary artist-in-

residence and Music Director of Miami’s first Japanese-inspired listening room, Dante’s HiFi+.

As a highly respected spoken word artist, Rich has performed on stages around the

world, and his sonorous voice has been utilized by Fisker, EA Sports, Nike and Pioneer. As an

educator, Medina has lectured at TEDxPhilly and at his alma mater Cornell University, amongst

numerous others. As a music producer, he’s collaborated with a range of artists, including Jill

Scott, J Dilla, Bobbito Garcia and Phil Asher.

Rich Medina is the modern-day renaissance man—an artist and visionary whose journey

continues, expands and inspires.
