Don’t miss it x MATT MALONE & THE HOLY SPIRITS Matt Malone is an iconoclastic singer-songwriter from the Victorian goldfields, Australia. Malone is known for his bold baritone and tenebrous lyricism, often compared to Jim Morrison, Glenn Danzig, Mark Lanegan and Michael Gira. He has shared the stage with Kim Salmon (Beasts Of Bourbon), Hugo Race (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and played Sydney’s massive King St Crawl ‘26, carving out a cult following through his intense and visceral performances. In 2023, he released the critically-acclaimed For The Term Of My Natural Life (VRS Records), followed by Made In The Image, Vol 1 featuring I’m Bad Like Jesse James shared by the John Lee Hooker estate. He’s joined by The Holy Spirits featuring James W. du Plessis on drums and electric slide guitarist Benny “The Gentleman” Mac. In 2026 the band performed at The St. Kilda Blues Fest and supported legendary post-punk band The Sacred Cowboys. Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits completed recording with Loki Lockwood (Spooky Records, The Drones, Spencer P. Jones, Harry Howard) and released the single Wolfman on Halloween ‘25 followed by Jealousy on Valentine’s Day ‘26. Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits channel their unique brand of delta blues, outlaw country and post-punk spiritualism - delivering live performances as much firebrand ritual as rock n’ roll show. '★★★★’ - Sydney Morning Herald '★★★★’ - Backseat Mafia “Matt Malone is a rising star in the Australian underground music scene.” - The Second Scene (USA) "Whatever juju, alchemy or disturbed darkness that made Jim Morrison put on a pair of leather trousers & shock the world out of its apathy… Matt has got it!" - Kim Salmon (The Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, The Surrealists) PENNY IKINGER Penny Ikinger is a renowned rock ace hailing from Australia.
