Lothlorien
On entering this forest, you find that your own
sense of time must be abandoned , time shifts and changes. The
enchantment that protects this home of the elves casts a magical
wash over life. This creation of Tolkien's holds the themes and
inspirations of the band; that of a natural world as a glorious
home that must be protected, as well as creating a sense of timelessness
and joy through the medium of music.

Mutiny
This crew of the bounty play original folk punk
music; an up-tempo mix of fiddle tunes, raucous vocals, guitar,
mandolin, bass and drums. They are renowned for their high energy
foot-stomping live performances and have had audiences dancing
from Ballarat (a small town near Melbourne) to Berlin (I don't
need to tell you where that is).

RubyFruitJungle
Hard, driving dance grooves from dub through heavy
funk to a tribal style drumming frenzy; searing stop-you-in-your-tracks
vocals (plus rich seams of backing harmony) and bags of charismatic
energy... as inspirational as it is awesome.

The Band Who Knew Too Much
"The Band" moves between odd musical styles including
ska, jazz, folk and creates their own unique 'Woodchop Rhythm'.
Add some strong local lyric with gang vocal delivery and their
unique bushranger jazz sound is complete.
