Firing off like a cracker, Hideous Sun Demon make their long-awaited return to Perth and they’re bringing their new songs, a new member and a very new and hot 7-inch vinyl, Development Hell. Every time I’ve seen them, they’ve delivered in spades high energy post-punk indie shows, which gets the crowd bouncing off the walls and each other. To mark the occasion the night will also see bands MSOL and Silver Hills taking to the stage in support. Find all the information here.
For straight-down-the-line, gnarly Aussie punk music no one is doing better than everyone’s favourite Aussie pub band The Chats. The boys from the Sunshine Coast are making their way across the Nullarbor to deliver their highly anticipated new album, High-Risk Behaviour. With songs like Drunk n Disorderly, the classic Smoko and the highly relatable Pub Feed The Chats know to produce simple yet infectiously relatable songs about the 20-something experience. These guys have a dedicated following so make sure you get your tickets so you don’t miss out on singing Bus Money at the top of your lungs. Tickets on sale now.
For less than a beer, you can catch one of Perth’s up and coming bands Phantom Limbo as they launch their new EP at one of the best live venues in the city. Phantom Limbo is relatively new to the scene but already has a really solid, earthy sound that is rooted in loud fuzzy guitars and a penchant for that ‘90s indie-grunge sound. Here Comes The Rooster and Dougie will also be joining the trio in support to deliver what will no doubt be a chilled vibe and a night of brilliant new music. Find all the information here.

The APIA Good Times Tour returns once more to Perth offering up what might be the best-kept secret concert for the year. The first time I went to a Good Times concert I was blown away by not only the depth of talent but the list of Australian legends that performed, and this year is no different. There are disco idols and Countdown stalwarts Leo Sayer and John Paul Young, arguably the best female voices in Australian music Kate Ceberano, Deborah Conway, Wendy Matthews, and Vika & Linda Bull, and two of the finest songwriters around Joe Camilleri and Brian Cadd. Their songs are the soundtrack of growing up for so many Australians and it promises to once again be an unforgettable gig. Tickets on sale now.
