“In a world saturated with predictability Melbourne’s avant garde art pop visionaries are a refreshing plunge into the unknown” (Heatwaves Magazine).
Yes it’s true! And what is also true is Milk Bar Gang are bringing their unhinged dystopian Lynchian delirium to the Cactus Room at 2pm Sunday 30th November to celebrate the release of their latest single “Wo AI Ni”, a New Wave inspired ode to fembot love.
The ‘Wo AI Ni’ is the first product of Milk Bar Gang’s 2025 flourish of creativity since the release of their EP ‘Shudder’ earlier in the year. During this time the band have been writing, rehearsing and recording preproduction demos for a new Album to come out next year. The band will be playing tracks from their first two EPs plus some newly minted ones that will feature on the next album. Be ready for some exciting musical experimentation inspired by post-punk icons B52s, DEVO, Lene Lovich and Siouxie and the Banshees.
Captivating Beijing Ballet dancer Bianca Cao will front a full band featuring keyboard wizard Felix Chapple (Frente, Phoenix/Weneger), Grant Bueno on drums (Beach Chromers), with Stuart Grigg’s thumping Bass and Brendan Hunter’s unhinged guitar.
Special guests for the afternoon are Entwined and Twobuxx.
Entwined are a local Jazztronica duo featuring multi instrumentalist Loff Kahans (The Maelstrom, Sunshine Harvester) and ethereal vocalist Fi Mackay. They recently released a superb EP ‘Here Goes’ full of dreamy compelling musical experimentation Think Massive Attack, Portishead.
Twobuxx are a local Naarm post punk trio with fuzzy tones and tight story telling songs, told with humour and punch. A modern cocktail of Buzzcocks, Go Betweens and Modern Lovers. Catch them to hear songs from their latest Album, ‘Various Behaviours of Chaos Entities’ live.
It will be an afternoon bursting in Naarm/Melbourne musical originality. Not to be missed!
Put it in the diary!
