After the release of their respective new records, Butternut Sweetheart and Mature Themes are taking their new tunes to Dja Dja Wurrung/Castlemaine.
----------
Butternut Sweetheart is the music of two strangers who unwittingly and simultaneously moved into a ghost town. With little else to distract them, they bonded over their love for the piano and beautifully written indie music. After spending a decade each in service of the music of others as producers, writers, and session musicians, Luke and Jazz shift their collective focus and talents to ButternutSweetheart.
The wheels of Butternut Sweetheart started spinning in Sydney's Inner West with the release of their first EP, 'Concrete Solid Lung', which "immersed listeners with delicious, dreamy indie pop" (beat mag).The release earned the band radio plays (Triple J, Double J RRR, PBS, FBi) and media coverage (BeatMag, Tonedeaf ) as well as national support tours (Ball Park Music, Elana Stone).
Now Melbourne based, the duo turn their eyes to their upcoming EP, 'I've Got My Problems, You've GotYour Dreams’. Sitting at the intersection between alternative rock, electronica and an
angular take on indie-pop, this new collection of music explores disconnection and the significance of communal existence in the modern world.
----------
Naarm/Melbourne five piece Mature Themes deliver raucous and psychedelic garage rock, inspired by the sounds of heavy hitters like The Verve, The Dandy Warhols and Ty Segall. 2025 saw the outfit release their debut record 'Another Kind of Life', nine tracks that cement the band as an up and comer to watch. Carefully crafted throughout 2024 with producer James Cowling, the record shows the band reaching new heights and diverse sounds. The first single from the album 'Sweet Release', a nineties meets noughties inspired indie pop gem, saw strong rotation on community radio, plus – its accompanying colourful and glitchy music video heavily featured on RAGE during its first week of release.
