Electric Jellyfish reunite for a rare Australian tour this month for the launch of their 12-inch self-titled vinyl,released last year through US label Twin Lakes Records. Having toured both Australia and the USA extensively since 2007,Electric Jellyfish have been described as tapping into Australia’s “three-decade wellspring of loud,harsh post-punk blues-inversion” (Jack Rabid,The Big Takeover). Incredible psych-punk band!

Sydney based songstress Sam Buckingham brings her enchanting live show to The Front for an intimate night of acoustic storytelling and song. Four times finalist in the International Songwriting Competition,Buckingham has recently announced she’ll be opening for Washington in Adelaide and Perth on her upcoming national tour. Supported by Evan Buckley- Buckley’s writing is a real reflection of finding life in the cynical corners of our culture. His debut album –You’re Quite A
Forest –is best digested as a commentary to the transient nature of hope.

Sat 16 April 8pm

co-conspiratorial national road trip of sorts,the TWO WRITER TYPES TOUR.
