Brisbane! Catch CROCODYLUS, Annoying Neighbours & Brixton Alley live at Tomcat on Friday May 6th and get transported to a Rock N’ Roll wonderland for the night. From high-octane house gigs on their home of Sydney’s Northern Beaches to touring Europe with The Chats, and selling out headline shows all around Australia, the last few years have been non-stop for garage rockers Crocodylus. And in spite of common sense and common decency, the three piece are only just getting warmed up.
Crocodylus’ DIY ethos has garnered them fervent fans around the globe, as well making the trio a go-to for support tours and boutique festivals in their home country. They’ve toured regional Australia with Skegss, nationally with The Chats, tri-headlining with A. Swayze & The Ghosts and Voiid, as well as popping up for hometown shows supporting the likes of Ocean Alley, Dune Rats, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Hockey Dad, The Jungle Giants and more. Throw in some festival appearances across the country at Panama, NYE on The Hill, Bad Friday, Yours & Owls and Sounds of the Suburbs and a couple of sold out headline dates along the East Coast for good measure, and it’s no surprise these three highschool friends have managed to carve out a name for themselves.
THE RIOT couldn’t have taken any other name. The noun that hangs above the Gold Coast-based three-piece is one that implies simmering tension, followed by chaotic, profound release. It speaks to community, shared struggle, an anarchic form of altruism and an altruistic form of anarchy. In one word, it tells a story of the voiceless claiming a voice, the diminished reclaiming space after years of being ignored. It is a word that connotes fission and fusion — of cultures, textures, classes, ideologies. For JD, Scotty, and Tyler, the three men who make up THE RIOT, it is noun, verb, and guiding light. It is the only word that could possibly encompass all that this young but incendiary band represents: truth and power, rage and relief.

Heralding the onset of a new era, Reckless Coast emerges like crashing waves against a rocky coastline. With members hailing all the way from the Sunshine Coast to Coffs Harbour, the Brisbane based power-trio (previously known as Rude Rum) is defined by no labels. Instead, Reckless Coast, with a love of British Grit and groove fuelled rock adrenaline, heroes a refreshing contemporary zest unique to them alone.
Following on from their sold-out "TALK" Brisbane single launch, Reckless Coast now embark on a 6 date tour down the East Coast of Australia, in support of their latest single "Do You Want Me?"; a fiercely powerful track showcasing modern euphoria reminiscing on Australian Rock nostalgia. Presented by Bleached Entertainment, the "Do You Want Me?" Tour will see Reckless Coast finally take their renowned, voltaic live performances south of the QLD border, for the first time in 3 years.
Reckless Coast embodies a no-nonsense, unpretentious approach to music that is undiluted by mainstream currents; yet they remain completely relevant in today's industry.
Supported by Mister Sister and Star Crazy
