Artist: The Little Stevies

Time:1:00pm - 1:35pm

On the back of their recent single Sunshower, Melbourne pop darlings The Little Stevies are proud to announce the release of their highly anticipated debut album “Love Your Band”. Making cubby houses has always been a favourite pastime for The Little Stevies. They’ve collaborated to create them since they were knee-high to grasshoppers. Then sisters Sibylla and Bethany and childhood friend Robin discovered music. Twenty years and three uni degrees later, The Little Stevies began work on their most ambitious cubby house yet. In early 2008, at a secret location, out of foam, mattresses, pillows and sleeping bags, they constructed their own recording studio the ‘Crimea Cubby’, and under the guidance of producer Jimi Maroudas (Tim Rogers, Pete Murray, Eskimo Joe), set about recording their debut album “Love Your Band”.

Artist: Miso

Time:3:00pm - 3:35pm

Miso deliver a captivating live performance with their unique blend of trip-hop, glitch and post rock textures. Seductive vocalist, Supina Bytol, writes abstract narratives that are perfectly complemented by the band's distinctive sound; a contrast of acoustic instrumentation and progressive electronica. Miso creates music that has been described as having "a Bristol-via-Tokyo feel". After a year long hiatus, the band is back with all new material.

Artist: Rapskallion

Time:4:00pm - 4:35pm

Straight out of Brunswick’s bohemia come Rapskallion dressed in their decrepit finery, singing songs of the open road, blue stone alleyways, fruit falling from the trees and the seven seas, Rapskallion, reminiscent of 20's Paris Bohemia transported to a Romanian tavern and then set adrift on the high seas.

Artist: The Woohoo Revue

Time:5:00pm - 5:35pm

'The best way to describe The Woohoo Revue is to simply say that they're an instrumental gypsy folk band, a German oom-pah outfit, a wild-west fiddle contest and a roaring 20's swing band all rolled into one; only sped up by a factor of ten.' Spoz
