Studio 5 Live

Immerse yourself in the ‘gorgeous harmonies and confessional songwriting’ (Rolling Stone) of Melbourne/Naarm’s very own Folk Bitch Trio, a band born out of a mutual love for songwriting, rocking and the truth.

Returning to Melbourne for her first headline show in almost two years, producer and multi-instrumentalist Audrey Powne is playing shows this October for the Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival. To celebrate her homecoming, Audrey released a double vinyl remix album of her debut LP From The Fire, a treasure trove of sonic brilliance featuring both new and released interpretations of her tracks, out via UK label BBE. 

Sequential Zero has unveiled their new, highly-anticipated full-length release, Zero Sum Game. While musically playing a fond tribute to the darkwave genre, the lyrics on Zero Sum Game cover a wide range of subjects from ancient spells, environmental concerns to interpersonal politics and depression. 

Forming in the early 2000s and comprising up to 26 members, the sonic juggernaut that is Melbourne Ska Orchestra is one beating at its core with technical brilliance and infectious joy. Bringing their own unique take on the ska genre, Melbourne Ska Orchestra boasts some of Australia’s finest musicians and performances, helmed by the indomitable charisma of Nicky Bomba (John Butler Trio, Bomba, Bustamento).
