Feverish Melbourne post-punk and Eastern Anmatyerre glam-rock collides in an electric night of defiant rock riffs.
Fronted by frenzied singer Athina Uh Oh, sextet Gut Health cut their teeth in Melbourne's packed pubs, demanding attention with a blistering mix of noise rock, jazz solos and danceable, disco-lite rhythms - all presented with a delightfully chaotic punk edge.
Frenzied yet controlled, their acclaimed debut album Stiletto saw them tour the globe; now, they bring their high-octane energy to Tumbalong Nights.
And there's no band quite like Mulga Bore Hard Rock - a sextet of siblings and cousins from the remote Northern Territory desert community of Akaye. Combining rock-star alter egos and KISS-like makeup with hard-hitting tracks sung in both Anmatyerre language and English, they deliver stadium-ready glam rock no matter the stage.
