The Night Cat | Melbourne, VI

On October 17th, The ferocious act The Maggie Pills are taking over The Night Cat to launch their highly anticipated sophomore album 'Hearts Enduring Lingering Loss'.
With twelve tracks filled with grunge distortion and fuzz-drenched menace, 'Hearts Enduring Lingering Loss' unpacks loss, desire, fear and defiance in equal measure.
H.E.L.L is more than the sum of its parts. It’s reflection, it’s the cyclical nature of things, it’s pain and joy and hope. It dreams of a brighter future, with echoes of the past and tales of myth mirroring the persistence of the human condition. It melds nostalgia, memory, and comforting reflection, with urgency and need and discomfort at ourselves and the world around us.
Joining them will be Melbourne faves DESTRENDS, BLOWERS and CONG JOSIE.
This is an event not to be missed!

THE MAGGIE PILLS
Led by Argentinian front woman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, The Maggie Pills are a fierce outfit who embody the spirit of the Indie/Alternative movement and the urgency of Punk, with an intense and magnetic live performance.
Their catalogue includes two EPs, several singles and a massive debut double album titled “Hope is Risk”. Self-produced by Perez, the album was nominated by Music Victoria for ‘Best Heavy Work’ as part of the Music Victoria Awards 2023 and by the Australian Music Prize as one of the best Australian albums released in 2023.
DESTRENDS
Bold, angular, and soaked in the kind of theatrics every music fan craves, Melbourne collective Destrends offers up a seamless blend of modern Australian post-punk, British rock, and driving 80s new wave.
BLOWERS
Blowers are a garage punk band that blows. From Narm/Melbourne, their third album ‘Blowmania’ came out this year on Chaputa Records (EU) and Trash Cult Records (Australia). Armed with a ripping & raw sound, they’ve been touring Europe and locally, their suitcases full of four-pronged vocal attacks, blistering guitars and fast-paced tunes. Their previous albums ‘Blowers’ and ‘Blown Again’ catapulted the band onto the punk scene globally, scoring rave reviews & constant radio play & streams, with tracks that jump off the record and grab you by the throat. For fans of Jay Reatard, Wipers, Cheap Time, The Ramones & more!
CONG JOSIE
Cong Josie, Naarms most infamous synth-punk greaser, rolls like a heartbroken gutter snake. Backed by his gang,The Hellraisers, their shows are lauded for their unpredictability, audience interaction and rollin good times. With two LP's under his belt and the new EP collaboration with Garry Sacred (Sacred Cowboys) there's no stopping Josie and his street fightin' associates.
