Join us at The Old Bar on the 26/09 from 8:00pm to celebrate the release of the teaser trailer for Out of Halmsway, an absurd sci-fi short set in rural Victoria. The party will have exclusive merch and surprises, with live music from De Porsal, Quiet Neighbours, Community Centre and Callystha Solo! All proceeds will go towards funding the film itself, so come along to support live music and independent film!

Hypnotic State brings you unlimited potential. They are who you want them to be. Fall in love with the sound of rhythmic guitar solos and slick bass lines that take your sleep-deprived skulls and hypnotise.

They’re your toxic ex who won’t give your PlayStation back. They’re the nicotine addiction you don’t want to admit you have. They’re the sound of a time past, present and future. Time is their construct that you cannot, and will not, escape.

Resistance is futile. Ride the wave and get high. Chase the dragon and sell your belongings. Hunter, Brodie, Aviv and Harry bring you live, loud and proud, the sound of Hypnotic State.

We have a new single with swearing in it again! (Well we are called RoarCUSS) so of course we had to go back to The Old Bar to do it all again for another single launch matinee ‘cause we had so much fun last time!

Come along to the No F**ks single launch and go home with a Roarcuss tea towel so you can get those darn dishes dry before bed! We guarantee it!

Together Again, Buck Owens-style. Sister act double-header Sunday October 4th at Fitzroy's Old Bar with Rodeo Sideshow on at 4 proving Dolly's Law ('if they can hear the pedal steel, no-one can say it ain't country'), followed by a slice of honky-tonk heaven with Round the Outside from 5pm. Free to all, good time, singin', dancin', and cryin' in yer beer tunes guaranteed.

Darren "D.C" Cross is an Australian guitarist and storyteller forging a distinct, landscape-driven musical identity. Blending the influence of 1960s and 70s American Primitive and British folk mainstays—like John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Elizabeth Cotten, Nick Drake, and Bert Jansch—he brings an adventurous, hypnotic perspective to instrumental acoustic guitar. He is a fiercely independent DIY artist who books his own shows, manages, records, produces, designs, and operates his own label, No Drums Records.

Across a 25-year career with 17 albums released since 1998, Cross has created music across various projects including his solo work, Gerling, and Jep and Dep. He has written songs with diverse creators from Kool Keith to Kylie Minogue and shared stages with international and local heavyweights including Beastie Boys, Beck, Happy Mondays, Johnny Marr, Courtney Barnett, Ryley Walker, Will Oldham, Marissa Anderson, The Apartments, and Jim White.

Cross maintains an extensive touring footprint across regional Australia and international circuits, having completed a 6-week, 19-show tour across Germany, France, and Belgium, as well as serving as the main support for Ed Kuepper's East Coast Australian tour. His live performances suit everything from major concert halls to intimate, deep-listening art spaces, with recent dates at the City Recital Hall, Art Gallery of NSW, People's Republic, and The Red House. Known for pairing intricate fingerstyle guitar with engaging storytelling, he delivers a captivating and intimate live set.
