The Ockerstra's unmistakable Inner Western earthy notes portray its Sydney origins. The modern twist of classic old-timey jazz and dancing rhythms is guaranteed to have you dancing in your seat!

The Golden Gaytimes (featuring members of Muzzy Pep, The Sleepy Jackson, Forever Since Breakfast and The Great Dividing Range) with the one and only Jane ‘Jane-O’ Harvey up front. They're a band driven by the understanding that great music is made with liberal measures of both spook and wonk.

Their recently released debut album has inspired a run of madcap, psychedelic and party atmosphere gigs, guaranteed to have punters heading for the dance floor. The Matthew Walker-edited video clip for the new single, which premiered with the AU review, captures some of that intoxicating irreverence and live energy they bring to every stage they tumble onto.

Praise for the new record:
“Boy, are they an impressive act. Their Opus, Modern Complications is a controlled cacophonic explosion. Expect a frenzy as grinding guitars dance with equally chaotic keys, grounded by a rock-solid rhythm section, with bass lines and fills that reign things in just when you think they’re on the verge of losing all control.” Beat
“A wide, diverse sonic palette - a mighty fine record.” Neil Rogers, Triple R
