ZENITH MOON
Melbourne rockers Zenith Moon are the pinnacle of the vintage rock resurgence. The love child of Led Zeppelin, the Baby Animals and Aretha Franklin, Zenith Moon are classic rock and blues with a seriously sassy frontwoman in the shape of Kahli Rose. With hypnotic vocals out the front, a pounding rhythm section and face melting guitar moves, this band is as thrilling live as you think they are.
Perfect amounts of grit, splendour and soul combine to create the unforgettable, alluring and epic sound of The Crookeds. After a string of sold out shows, their reputation as one of Melbourne’s best live bands is growing fast, proving they are a rock ‘n’ roll force to be reckoned with.
Canadian rockers, The Jailbirds mesh grunge and glamour with classic rock that evokes the heaviness of Sabbath and Purple while soaring on harmonies akin to Alter Bridge. With massive media support from North American press upon the release of their debut EP, The Jailbirds are drawing attention not seen in the vintage rock world for some time.
Emotionally charged and ruthless, Bone Acre have their feet firmly planted in Desert Rock but they are so much more than another sludgy riff machine. Kevin Bronson of Buzzbands put it best, “Bone Acre makes psych-rock that moves like a grass fire, whipped by the winds of Caroline Heerwagen’s intensely personal lyrics and fed by her smouldering vocals.” Evoking the endless Californian desert landscape that cries of freedom while simultaneously singing songs of heartbreak and wisdom, Bone Acre make you reflect, as well as groove.
Plus look out for The Kids new double A side single for the punktastic, I Thought My Family Was Rich and the absolute killer cover of RATM’s Killing In The Name! The Kids will be supporting Billy Idol on his Australian tour in 2020!
