​Sacred Cowboys​​ Studio 5 Live

Thu 11 Jun 2026
Studio 5 Live

Naarm group Sacred Cowboys formed in early 1982 by lead singer-songwriter Garry Gray and Mark Ferrie on bass, both drawing from their experiences in the local post-punk scene - Gray from the proto-punk outfit Negatives and Ferrie from the new wave band The Models. The band's name was inspired by the 'Sacred Cows' characters from an episode of the 1960s TV show Get Smart, reflecting their iconoclastic approach that rejected genre labels, fashion trends and commercial hype in favor of boundary-pushing rock music.

National Reconciliation Week 2026

Wed 27 May 2026 to Wed 3 Jun 2026
Community News

National Reconciliation Week 2026 runs May 27 to June 3.

This year's Reconciliation Week theme is All In. It's a call for every Australian to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, not just this week, but every single day. Reconciliation isn't something that happens on its own, and it's not the sole responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried that weight for far too long. It asks something of all of us.
