|
|
Date: 11 July
Venue: Settlers Tavern, Margaret River Roots music had never been so sneaky and cheeky until four happening fellas started groovin' one summers day. Love your way back to the sixties to collect some psychadelic funk groove and free lovin' guitar blues, dance over to kingston town for some seventies island rhythms and let your soul do the shaking as you loose your self in the spacious weasel jam.
Hailing from a costal pocket of the South-West, these four young school lads found themselves jamming on a regular basis following a small number of sucessful party gigs in 2006. Two hundred shows later including an independant thirty date tour and a fantastic debut EP the Sneaky Weasel Gang are spear heading the coastal roots movement of Western Australia.
Be sure to catch them on their home turf at Settlers Tavern on Friday 11th July.

| SOMETHING IN THE WATER
|
|
Date: 17 July
Venue: Settlers Tavern, Margaret River Contact Details: www.somethinginthewater.com.au “What is it about Perth, that produces so many good bands?”…
Eager eyes on the other side of the Australian continent now look west, to see what new and unique talent will emerge from beyond their horizon. Eskimo Joe, Snowman, Little Birdy, The Sleepy Jackson and Birds of Tokyo –these are but a few contemporary bands that have defied the tyranny of distance to dominate national airwaves.
But there’s more to the fertile Perth music industry, and its bent for producing some of our finest musicians, than what we see today. The Farriss Brothers and INXS, Dave Faulkner and The Hoodoo Gurus all materialised in this West Coast capital. Meanwhile, the Triffids managed to change the landscape of Australian music, before returning to their humble roots in the port town of Fremantle.
So in the spirit of other international music documentaries such as Hype and Live Forever, SOMETHING IN THE WATER explores the rich history and diverse setting of a hitherto neglected part of Perth’s identity.
…Is it the isolation, the environment or the scene itself? Or is there in fact “something in the water”?
Stay for a very special live performance by WA's latest phenomena SUGAR ARMY
plus....special live opening performance by RICHARD LANE of the STEMS
(both performers are in the movie).
When: Thursday 17th July 8.30pm.

The John Read Band has been appearing at bigger and better venues down the West coast to ever increasing and appreciative audiences.
If you want to enjoy a show of great music and laid back vibe you’ve got to check out the John Read Band.
