Melbourne Psychedelic/Garage/Funk Punk band Froot Luips are a dynamic six-piece, whose members are all past or present Victoria University music students. 
 
Members are Clay Nielsen on guitar and lead vocals, Harry Marshall on guitar and vocals, Fergus Kuhar on drums, Sam Cashman on guitar and digeridoo, Llewelyn Crist on bass and vocals and Lachy Mustang on keys and woodwind.
 
Their debut eight-track sonic exploration 'Spilt Milk' will take you on a journey to a metaphorical valley in which milk that they have intently spilt, pours into your eardrums and stays there. Sounds ring in a sonic mishmash of lo-fi textures, fuzzy riffs and warm clean tones, all dancing in a creamy sea of whitewash froth that is tonnes of reverb and delay. Expect a high-energy show with catchy melodies, guitar solos and feel-good flow from start to finish.

HyperTron CollideScope are an explosive new original two-piece 'Ultra Love Rock' band. With frontman Wade Danger on vocals and guitar and Jay Riley thunderously pounding the drums, these two high-velocity individuals create enough roar sonic energy to blow any standard rock outfit off the stage.

Their original music features a variety of themes from politically-charged rant fests and heart wrenching pop-rock ballads to chugging AI apocalyptic metal brutality, but their focus is mainly on Zepplin-esque sultry love rock.

You can find HyperTron CollideScope in their natural habitat on stage at Rock Bars, Dive Bars, Live Music Venues and Music Festivals.

Laura Kate has loved music from an early age. The 1939 MGM musical The Wizard of Oz captured her heart at the age of 10 and she became enraptured by classic movie musicals of the 1930s through to the 1960s and inspired by entertainers such as Judy Garland, Doris Day, Fred Astaire and Al Jolson. Laura has also been influenced by the music of the 50’s and 60’s, listening to artists such as Brenda Lee, Bobby Rydell, Rick Nelson, Connie Francis and Elvis Presley.

In her early teens, Laura commenced singing lessons with opera star Barbara Zavros, who won the prestigious Herald Sun Aria in 2011. Laura has also received classical training on the violin for over 10 years and has had experience playing in a Celtic Band, a Bluegrass Band and a Pop/Country Duo. She looks up to violinists such as Itzhak Perlman, Hilary Hahn and Andre Rieu.

Laura Kate specialises in performing classic songs from the 20th Century at public and private functions such as parties, ceremonies, weddings, festivals and concerts.

Melbourne singer songwriter Nathan Power explores heartache, the stress of 21st century Millennialism and the occasional moments of happiness that happen in between. Nathan plays a range of sets featuring up-tempo numbers, slow dances, a crowd sing-along or three and covers, most likely from Nick Drake, Paul Kelly or an obscure 1960s folk artist.

 
Borrowing inspiration from artists such as the Tallest Man on Earth, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, Nathan explores a love of folk music to communicate stories loosely based on life experiences. Armed with a parlour guitar and backed by a ragtag collection of instruments including double bass, drums, and the occasional three-part vocal harmony.
