Sunday will be well and truly brought home by no other than the Gold Coast’s finest electro-world music act Tijuana Cartel, with dub-reggae-psych-rock Brissie band Kurilpa Reach, rock’n’roll Bonny Hills boys Nana Klumpp, and Byron based indie-rockers The Colliflowers soundtracking the rest of your Sunday sesh.
