Tickets / Event

Surprise Chef's music is based on evoking mood; their vivid arrangements utilize time and space to build soundscapes that invite the listener into their world. The quintet's distinct sound pulls from 70s film scores, the funkier side of jazz, and the samples that form the foundation of hip hop. They push the boundaries of instrumental soul and funk with their own approach honed by countless hours in the studio, studying the masters, and perhaps most importantly, the "tyranny of distance" that dictates a unique perspective to their music.

Kino Motel the new Melbourne-based Grit Pop project from Ed Fraser (Heads., Cash Savage & The Last Drinks) and Rosa Mercedes (Josephine Foster Band). Following a grimy and particularly sweaty basement karaoke session somewhere in Vietnam in 2019, KINO MOTEL was created. Named for the bar in which it was conceived, KINO MOTEL listeners can expect dusty melancholic gritty pop, with lots of oil and sand and road ahead. The band have recently wrapped recording their debut album in Melbourne, and are excited to tour around Europe in October 2022. https://kinomotel.bandcamp.com/track/waves
