W/ ATHANASIA + MORE

Following the release of their latest neo-soul drenched single, "Convenient", Sydney locals LamBros. are set to light up the stage at Waywards, Newtown. Brothers Connor and Harry Lambrou have fast-earned a reputation as one of Australia’s unmissable new live acts. Their whirlwind performances and hard-hitting songwriting have made for a career already jam-packed with musical milestones. Number one singles, a raft of sold-out shows, support spots with the likes of Harts, Larkin Poe, Thirsty Merc, Mental as Anything, The Choirboys, Tones and I, and Australia-wide festival appearances have given the independent brothers a wealth of experience both on and off the stage.

Merging rock, folk, blues, soul, funk, and singer-songwriter, Connor and Harry seamlessly blend genres through their unique use of sounds such as distorted acoustic guitar, Didgeridoo, loop pedal, powerful vocals, and a thumping homemade hybrid drum-kit. Born and raised into music, these two brothers promise to deliver a highly memorable experience.

W/ Lady Lyon + TBC

Skyscraper Stan and his longtime touring band and collaborators, the Commission Flats, have generated a body of work that has attracted a loyal, and more recently, global fanbase drawn to their easy lyrical style, inventive arrangements, and deft genre twists and turns— from folk and country to indie rock and consummate soul— all key elements across the diverse new album.

As the weather gets cooler, Stan and the Band are taking their critically acclaimed live show around the country to celebrate the new record "Those Were Days" - a project several years in the making and well worth the wait. 
 

Leipzig via Lugano’s weirdo punk heroes Autobahns will be returning to Australia this June! After their first tour in January 2024, they’re back this time hitting both coasts, alongside a smokin’ roster of local and interstate supports. Their “First LP” was a beloved release from renowned Victorian label Legless Records and now they hit us with a split with Melbourne kings Elvis 2.

Starcrazy’s individual sound is a heady fusion of catchy pop structured melodies, spirited vocals & high energy rifforama propelled from a solid foundation of pure rock & roll.

Bred & nurtured in the stronghold of Sydney’s Inner West music scene, the four piece launched in 2021 and quickly hit the city’s finest stages.

Starcrazy have sold out a number of electrifying shows, received ongoing radio airplay from Alice Cooper, opened for world class artists such as The Animals, Faster Pussycat, Wednesday 13, Rose Tattoo and The Hard Ons, had their single, ‘The Big Time’ synced on Major League Baseball and even performed on national television with comedian, Jimeoin!
