Swedish Heavy Rock Riff Slayers GREENLEAF will make their way back to Australia in February 2025, and they'll be stopping in little old Beechworth!

The quartet, who are no strangers to the both the east and west coast of Australia will hit Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Geelong and Melbourne as well as Beechworth before travelling to Perth to headline the annual Spliffs n Riffs festival.

Joining these riff wielding Swedes are our very own MY LEFT BOOT, the much loved Aussie stoner outfit, and local legends, who take the teachings of Zeppelin and Sabbath under the tutelage of Roky Erickson. Also on board for the night, and on the entire tour, is Sydney’s’ Psychedelic Stoner Riff Wizards IRON BLANKET, who will make their debut in many of the cities. The group takes influence from only the best including Pentagram, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Hawkwind.

Today Greenleaf are widely recognized as one of the most dominating, prolific and obsessively listenable acts to emerge from the European heavy underground.

Now, ten years since the release of the landmark Trails & Passes album, Greenleaf return with The Head & The Habit, a record energized by awareness of their past triumphs and crafted with the maturity of a band who knows how to rock stronger, harder and better than ever before.

The Rarebit Fiends offer a cheese-fuelled fever dream of country-fried classics. It's a heroic dose of Sabbath to Spears from your resident front-bar psychedelic surgeons!

The Woodland Hunters return to Tanswells -- and it's an afterparty for the Spring Ditch festival out in Stanley! Come to the pub after a full day of festivities and keep the live music going.

After four albums and more than a decade together, the Melbourne band will be showcasing their swamp-infested grooves, voodoo jungle beats, tough rockers and more than a few surprising left turns.

Our long-running monthly OPEN MIC returns! Come along and have a sing and/or strum.

Simon Joyner is widely regarded as one of the great singer-songwriters of our generation. He will be touring Australia / New Zealand for the first time in Feb/Mar 2025, joined his backing band, The Eucalypts – featuring Leah Senior, Jesse Williams, and Michael Beach - all celebrated Australian songwriters and performers in their own right.

The tour coincides with the release of Joyner's newest album, "Coyote Butterfly", out Nov 22 via Melbourne’s Homeless Records, as well as a reissue of his third album, 1994's "The Cowardly Traveller Pays His Toll", in late November. The latter was famously one of three records played in their entirety on John Peel’s legendary BBC1 show, alongside records by Bob Dylan and Siouxsie & the Banshees.

"... the reigning heir to Henry Miller's dark emotional mirror, Townes Van Zandt's three-chord moan, and Lou Reed's warehouse minimalism: his name is Simon Joyner." — Gillian Welch
"Joyner has been chipping away at the subtle absurdities of life since 1991, his rambling balladeering garnering comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt. He also shares a wry approach to self-reflection with modern practitioners like Mark Kozalek, Bill Callahan and David Berman." – MOJO
