Surf Trash ~ This Temper ~ Calling From Pluto
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Surf Trash Fresh off a sold out Australia + New Zealand tour, and the release of their second EP ‘Under The Radar’ in January, Surf Trash are keeping the momentum going with the release of their newest single Spice It Up & Aus regional tour to go with it. Spice It Up maintains Surf Trash’s signature blend of gritty riffs and addictive high energy hooks – while demonstrating that with each new release, the group are challenging their sound that is varied and unique to their own. With a new 4th member but a lifelong brother of the group ‘Patrick Russell’ now a part of the ST operation as lead guitarist. The NSW based quartet are more powerful than ever and are keen to share what they’re been working on. Spice It Up is a swirling miasma of driving punk with a catchiness that belies its gloomy tone. Raw, Roomy and hard-hitting, the outfit have focused on capturing their raw live sound that they a renowned for on the road. With a tip of the hat to the 90s Aus rock scene they grew up on, idolising greats such as The Celebrate Rifles and Radio Birdman. Scott’s rather unusual lyrics on the track ‘Systematic rompa-syompa’ and ‘release the chompers’ he says are about “not acting to a system or a fixed plan and living your life in freedom opposed to being controlled within the modern worlds box.” With this being the first taste of Surf Trash’s forthcoming album, the hard-hitting track sets the standard for what’s to come. This Temper Calling From Pluto Hello? We’re Calling From Pluto! An alternative quintet bringing you sounds from space while examining the human experience. Unashamed of their often eccentric musical style, this band puts on a captivating show filled with experimental sounds and introspective storytelling. Avoiding a distinct genre, Calling From Pluto blends music of Billy Joel, No Doubt and Rex Orange County, with tastes of psychedelic and funk. Lyricist Amanda Valentina, drummer Amanda Senatore, bassist Steven Kossman, Keyboardist Chicoblu, and guitarist Joe Shields are five passionate and ambitious creatives, determined to share their art with anyone who cares to listen.
Blu & Exile ~ Quelle Chris ~ Sirplus
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 6:00 PMShow: 7:00 PM Time Heals Everything Tour Blu & Exile In 2007, while headlines were dominated by Kanye West vs. 50 Cent and the industry fixated on first-week sales, two artists on the West Coast were quietly crafting something timeless. Blu and Exile weren’t chasing the spotlight — they were building their own gravitational pull. On July 17, 2007, they released Below the Heavens — a debut that felt more like a sacred document than a first statement. Soul-soaked, sample-driven production. Raw, unfiltered vulnerability. No gloss. No gimmicks. Just truth pressed into wax. Early believers recognized it immediately. Underground purists and tastemakers hailed it as an instant classic. Limited to just 3,000 physical copies and leaked prematurely online, its scarcity only strengthened its mythology. If you had it, you understood. If you didn’t, you were already behind. Blu’s everyman reflections — grappling with faith, doubt, love, frustration, and ambition resonated deeply over Exile’s warm, golden-era-inspired soundscapes. Static in the samples. Dust in the drums. Pain and poetry in every bar. For the Okayplayer generation and beyond, it became a defining statement of West Coast underground hip-hop. The chemistry was organic. Introduced through Aloe Blacc of Emanon, Exile first witnessed Blu command a Los Angeles stage — hungry, electric, undeniable. One session became “Party ofTwo.” Then “Maintain.” Then a vision. A full-length statement. They knew it was special. By 2009, Blu’s momentum earned him a place in the XXL Freshman Class alongside Wale, Kid Cudi, B.o.B, and Charles Hamilton — proof that the underground could crown its own stars. But they never stopped building. The Albums That Followed After Below the Heavens, Blu & Exile continued to evolve together across four full-length releases, each expanding their sonic universe while preserving their unmistakable chemistry. Meanwhile, Blu expanded his catalog with one-producer masterpieces alongside Madlib, Evidence, and Nottz, while collaborating with artists such as Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Your Old Droog, and Rome Streetz. Exile solidified his reputation as a producer’s producer with the modern classic Boy Meets World for Fashawn, experimental projects like Exile Radio, and production credits for Mobb Deep, 50 Cent. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and Snoop Dogg. Now, with nearly two decades of growth, experimentation, and refinement behind them, Blu & Exile return not as hungry newcomers — but as master craftsmen of their own lane. Their latest offering doesn’t feel like just another release; it feels like culmination. For longtime listeners, it’s a reunion charged with nostalgia and elevation. For new fans, it’s an invitation into a world where lyricism and soul still reign supreme. The foundation is solid. The chemistry is proven. And history has shown: when Blu and Exile connect, something timeless follows. Album Announcement on the way.
