“Existential dread exorcised through heady guitar rockers and intimate ballads” - NMEMichael Beach - With his off-the-rails live show and charismatic stage presence, Melbourne, Australia's Michael Beach is one of contemporary underground music's great songwriters and bandleaders. A fan favorite at Goner Fest and on the DIY touring circuit, Beach is building a loyal fan base one fan at a time with an equally confounding and compelling live show, splitting the difference between Bill Fay and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Beach’s latest album, Big Black Plume, will be released by Goner Records (North America/Europe) and Poison City Records (Australia) in July 2025 and features contributions from The Dirty Three’s Mick Turner, Tropical Fuck Storm’s Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschen, The Necks’ Lloyd Swanton, Joe Talia, and Leah Senior.
“Beach is a great Melbourne guitarist and singer who has a real classic way of handling melody that’s both catchy and hard to grasp at the same time.” - Wire
Replica Watch - Careening female fronted post-wave flog pop from SF/OAK with new drummer Utrillo K. from Comets on Fire.
Winter Band - Mysteryious all-star improvisational outfit comprised of now local, internationally recognized musicians with bonafides too numerous to mention. Never the same set or lineup, come early for the ear opening experience.
