Eagle Eye Jones, Pasiflorez & Druid Fluids

Pasiflorez (NSW) &  DRUID FLUIDS ( SA) hit the frog and toad on a national co headline tour. Jump into the fruity jazz infused surf and sun soaked soundscapes of Northern Rivers’ Pasiflorez whilst taking a deep dive into the psych dream rock of Adelaide’s  Druid Fluids whose songs evoke a depth of emotion that is expressed but not often explained. Northern Beaches alumni Eagle Eye Jones jump on board the gravy train for all NSW / QLD shows.  EEJ fill the room grooves with stories of love and dislocation ,  triumph and desperation en route thru the eyes of life and death. You are all invited to a pollination in sound, colour and psychedelia
