A bit of info about each of the bands:
 
AUSMUTEANTS - Victoria slacked out punk rawk meets raw synth spitting a la Devo or Screamers  They're Amusements LP was released by Mikey Young's Aarght! label, then reissued last year by Goner Records. They have a new record coming out on Goner too!

ANGIE - aka Angie Garrick. She's been one of the key figures in Australia's fine punk/garage/weird scene for years now, whether it's solo or with her many other bands (Ruined Fortune, Circle Pit, Straight Arrows, Southern Comfort).Turning, her first solo LP from last year was a totally great piece of stonery psych dirge.

NATHAN ROCHE - Angie's current touring partner. He plays in her band, and also has his own solo recordings full of Richman/Reed/Sudden-esque rock 'n roll swagger and Eno-influenced postpunk experimental bits.

NATURAL CAUSES - Ian Rose (current drummer for Last Year's Men, Drag Sounds & Paint Fumes) + a mysterious group of co-horts making some sort of synth-driven racket that's sure to be exciting!  This will be their second show ever.
