Planet of the 8s and Duneeater are combining forces and hitting the road promoting their latest release, Turned To Stone Chapter 5, a split 12” LP released on Ripple Music.

Notorious for heavy desert rock grooves, Planet of the 8s deliver a wall-of-sound so thick it’s visible from space. Their visceral live performance swings and swaggers from flat-out riffage to atmospheric psych and doom, laying out epic journey arrangements that are punctuated by big vocal harmonies, and blistering lead guitar passages.

The music lives in the heavy psychedelic branch of The Riff Tree, taking bedrock influences like Kyuss, Tool and early-QOTSA, and exploring fresher offshoots cultivated by acts like Lowrider, Elephant Tree and All Them Witches.

Duneeater are a five piece band fuelled by heavy desert vibes built from genuine Aussie parts. Their love for V8s, driving riffs and groove is written all over their music, and while some might be tempted to roll Duneeater up in the stoner genre, it doesn’t take long before you realise their riffs weren’t just made for spliffs... it’s an add fuel, turn key and burn rubber road trip to your nearest outback pub.

Duneeater’s music was once described as if Kyuss and Fu Manchu jammed out a child. That being said, these blokes have managed to find their own sonic space on the desert highway by adding the flare of the Aussie hoon. “I think subconsciously when we’re writing, we work off a template where we hope the listener will wanna crack a few beers n do a burnout.”

Supporting on the night are A Gazillion Angry Mexicans and Zelkova.

Join AGAM at Crown and Anchor with Dirty Pagans + Rocky’s Pride and Joy

A Gazillion Angry Mexicans are a cluster of all things stoner, metal, doom, and hard rock. After coming together many years ago their style has evolved into a truly unique force on Melbourne's doom circuit. A Gazillion Angry Mexicans are hitting a town near you after releasing their second album, Blood Rainbow, and devouring a UK tour culminating in playing the London leg of Desertfest. Upon return, the boys were the featured artist on the latest season of Spicks and Specks performing a ripper version of Chandelier that is set for a full-length release through Headstone Records. This tour is their last time on the road for 2022 before they head back into the studio to record album three, which is set to be heavier and filthier than ever.

This event takes place on the stolen land of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and pay our respect to their elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

After two-and-a-half years Sordid Ordeal are unleashing their first single since 'Great Ocean Road' and will be playing a show to launch the new track.

'A Purely Genetic Connection' will be released on September 20 and to celebrate, the band are playing a special one-off acoustic show at the The Drunken Poet in historic West Melbourne.

Lauded by The Irish Times in Dublin as being one of the top 10 Irish pubs outside Ireland itself, The Drunken Poet is a Melbourne institution famous for it's vibrant music scene, regularly staging Celtic, folk, country, bluegrass, soul and rock 6 nights a week and home to Melbourne's longest-running Open Mic Night.

Sitting across the road from Melbourne's first colonial cemetery and current site of the Queen Victoria Market, Sordid Ordeal will be paying tribute to the musical Mecca that is The Drunken Poet and presenting an hour of its catalog, some preserved in its pub rock glory but much paying tribute to it's Celtic and folk roots with the help of some good friends.

Supporting Sordid Ordeal will be Melbourne's newcomer Celtic Punk outfit Madigan's Wake, bolting straight out the gate off the back of their first single.

With limited space, come down early to get a spot and witness this unique, intimate single launch from one of Melbourne's typically raucous, sweaty bar blasting bands.

Sordid will play at 9pm and Madigan's Wake will kick the lid off the party at 10:15 and play till we empty every keg in the bloody cellar.

Things are getting heavy at The Retreat with Melbourne based doom merchants A Gazillion Angry Mexicans launching their album Blood Rainbow into the stratosphere. Joining forces with special guests My Safe Word is Murder and Nephalem, the night is set to be rocking.
