Here's a bit about your hosts:

MOUNT KUJO - Passionate, soulful and dynamic; Mount Kujo is a Naarm (Melbourne) based act blending Psychedelic Funk, Jazz, Latin and Afro-beat. A vibrant collective of culturally diverse musicians from all around the world, playing lush arrangements of polyrhythms, unexpected changes and explosive horn sections.

Mount Kujo are a dedicated road band within Australia, never shying away from regional tours, festival invitations (including Dragon Dreaming, Port Fairy, Castlemaine Jazz, Renaissance) and nightclubs (Night Cat, Toff in Town, The Gaso, 24 Moons, Stay Gold) and really thrived during the familiarity and creativity of residencies at Bar 303 and Bodriggy Brewery as well as their spiritual home of Bar Oussou.

BUTTERED LOAF - Renegades of rock, foragers of funk, doyennes of dub, rascals of roots, and sorcerers of soul, BUTTERED LOAF deliver performances of blistering, tone-bending musical thuggery that will blow beards, tickle moustaches, and tip food trucks for miles around. Hold on to your expensive miniature tacos, people, BUTTERED LOAF is an institution not to be overlooked. Featuring Sam Cope on keys (Blue King Brown, The Badloves), Yuri Pavlinov on bass (The Bamboos, The Cat Empire, Renee Geyer Band), Selwyn Cozens on drums (Ruby Jones Experience), Gideon Cozens on guitar (Jane Hillson and the Brunswick Troubadours) and Joe Greenway on sax (Spinning Rooms).

Tickets are $30 presale (b/f incl) or $35 on the door. All proceeds go to the musicians playing, after sound and promo expenses. We believe the value for money of this pricing structure is exceptional and pricing any lower would only serve to devalue the hard work and lifetime commitment of the talented musicians performing for you. That said, we also offer a $20 no-questions asked concession for students, seniors, or anyone who is hard-up right now but still wants to come to a killer gig - we want you there!
