Possum 'Paynesville Seafoods' Album Launch
Experience your first taste of a Paynesville summer with the launch of Possum' debut album 'Paynesville Seafoods'.
Described as "a fish and chip shop concept album", the record documents the ex-fishing town of Paynesville on Gunaikurnai Country on the Gippsland Lakes through a series of lakeside narratives. It will be celebrated with a very special full-album playthrough featuring Possum's quartet, string section and special guests!
Acclaimed as one of Naarm's most disarmingly honest and hilarious songwriters, Possum's brand of hyperlocal folk captivates audiences with tales of Victorian towns and cities. A modern take on Australian songs from the ‘60s folk revival, her music beautifully crafts humour and vulnerability to thread narratives through time and place.
Her music has been widely supported across community radio including 3RRR, PBS, 4ZZZ and ABC Country.
Fancy fish-themed outfits encouraged!

Half Bent has programmed concerts and festivals around Melbourne, in Trades Hall, Arts House and Fitzroy Bowling Club and most recently in community spaces in West Brunswick. The organisation champions new and creative music, and diversity of thought and artistic practice;
but most importantly Half Bent aims to connect curious listeners and people from all walks of life: with each other, with live music, with their own community.
Half Bent is a 100% volunteer organisation and is powered by the energy and good will of its committee and helpers. Money is raised through ticket sales and donations from the community, to pay for venue hire, promotion, production hire and most importantly the performing musicians.

Jack Ladder Plays the Piano
With twenty years of skin in the game Jack Ladder has built and destroyed his own world several times over, leaving only his seductive baritone as a bridge to navigate between.
Faking his way as a folk singer on his 2005 debut, Ladder reveals himself in 2026 as a true connoisseur of all noises from neoclassical to new wave, country and techno pop.
Throughout his career he has been seen onstage playing in the bands of Bill Callahan, Alex Cameron and Weyes Blood and requested as opening act for Angel Olsen, Father John Misty, John Cale and The Killers – twice – to open their stadium sized celebrations. Sharon Van Etten has even sung on his songs.
Now, for the first time, he will perform his songs solo on piano for the public in this special Sunday afternoon recital setting. Expect songs from throughout his career with a heavy dose of last years Separation Rock and 2021's cinematic Hijack!
This is an intimate affair not to be missed.

Blacksound Records 2nd Anniversary
In celebration of its 2nd birthday, Blacksound Records presents for the first time in 4-dimensional quadraphonic sound:
Vile Apparition, Bacchus Harsh, Diploid, Sow Discord, Religious Observance, Rod Cooper — performing live on The Vessel — and Cadmium.
Melbourne's Vile Apparition return to the stage following the recruitment of Brendan Sloan (Convulsing, Altars) on lead guitar and drummer Dom Duszniak. Their 2025 full-length Malignity (Me Saco Un Ojo, Dark Descent Records) was a highlight of the death metal calendar, now presented live for the first time in full and with renewed creative force.
Bacchus Harsh is the alias of Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist Christian Bishop, whose previous incarnation Xian was a pioneer of the Australian breakcore scene. The 2021 full-length Caveat Tumultum is the sonic embodiment of occult-themed electronics and deconstructed club music, deterritorialising exotica, occult psychedelia and industrial techno with polyrhythms and distorted blast beats.
Since 2010, Diploid has been a primal force searing underneath the pyre of Australian grindcore and heavy music more broadly. Crushing, urgent, depressing and fierce, few can stand toe-to-toe with the blistering vocals, thematic despair and rapid-fire instrumentals that strike straight at a listener's pressure points. Hot on the heels of their latest European tour and performances at Czechia's Obscene Extreme festival, Diploid's blend of noise, grindcore and bleak aesthetics will punish audiences again this November.
Sow Discord is the dense, subterranean electronics project of Dave Coen (Whitehorse). The 2025 full-length Retroactive Extortion (Televised Suicide) is a dark and heavy slab of carefully crafted sample-based electronics, filled with coded references to Coen's love of early '90s hip hop. His extensive back catalogue has seen him collaborate with the likes of The Body, Intensive Care and more.
Religious Observance is the long-running, all-obliterating hammer of sludge, noise and doom. Est. 2015, the six-piece presents here with its twin vocal and noise attack in a never-more-fitting, all-encompassing quadraphonic sound.
For over 40 years, Rod Cooper has been building and performing on instruments and noise machines of his own invention. Incorporating tape, gadgets, mortal coils, drain spaces, bridge spaces, microphones, computers, wood, metal, paint, paper, plastic and glass — Cooper's devices are both performance instruments and artistic sound sculptures in their own right. The Vessel, designed and constructed over a seven-year period, was completed in 2009. Constructed from stainless steel, it has seen ongoing modifications to the extended apparatuses of its mast and musical riggings at various sites and performances across Australia. Measuring over 3.5 metres long and around a metre wide, this is a rare opportunity to witness Rod Cooper performing live on The Vessel.
Cadmium burst onto Melbourne's live music scene in 2026 with its dark brand of skramz, reminiscent of the early second wave of Ebullition Records-style emo meeting powerviolence at the turn of the century. Cadmium's bleak and dissonant style is a refreshing and exciting sound within a developing new wave of underground acts reclaiming the early DIY roots of the style in Australia.
Presented live at Quad Club, housed in the former Pontian Community Club building on the corner of Victoria and Percy streets in Brunswick, the venue features a four-channel quadraphonic sound system designed to place the audience inside a spatial field of sound built for volume, texture, physicality and immersion. Located 600 metres from Blacksound Records, Quad Club is easily accessible by car or public transport and features a full bar and kitchen. Blacksound Records-selected DJs will be spinning music after the bands until late.

LET'S DANCE!!!
Vox Chops - What's Love Got To Do With It?
This year's concert theme started with a simple premise: let's sing songs that aren't about romantic love… for a change! As the choir began contributing to the repertoire, that idea branched off in unexpected directions. The songs that emerged explored grief and injustice, asked some big questions, contemplated our place in the world… yet returned, again and again, to hope, peace and connection.
As it turns out, love has everything to do with it.
You can expect Vox Chops in all its forms: the whole choir in full flight, alongside smaller groups and solo voices with the choir lending its harmonies as backing vocalists. It's an eclectic program featuring arrangements and original compositions by our very own choir members, with the brilliant Hue Blanes at the piano.
Doors open at 1:30pm. Show starts at 2pm.

MiRi and The Big Band bring a Big, wacky, disco funk time to the Quad Club on the 2nd of December!!! Debuting 2 brand new originals and an original set to back it up! Visual and interactive, the performance reels you into a boogie and wild fun experience!

Stephen Taberner with Bush Gothic
As leader of the international sensation ‘The Spooky Mens Chorale’, Stephen Taberner has built a reputation for surprising and delighting crowds with heart-stopping harmonies and outright silliness. With a jazz pedigree eclipsed by his needlessly eclectic resume as a clown/choir leader/bathroom harmonics aficionado/student of the human condition, Stephen’s musicianship is fully revealed with his collaboration with the trio Bush Gothic.
Known for exploding totally archaic notions of Australian folk music, Bush Gothic have been invited to perform at some of the world's most prestigious festivals including Mona Foma and Womadelaide.
With fiddler Jenny M. Thomas, double bassist Dan Witton and drummer Chris Lewis colluding with Stephen, they form a formidable and highly adventurous band with four part singing bliss.
About The Quad Qlub: This venue redefines the live music experience, merging nostalgic charm with cutting-edge audio technology. It’s not just another spot to enjoy live music; it’s a destination for those seeking an unparalleled auditory adventure.' Beat Magazine
‘Bold, inspired and beautiful in its intensity, Bush Gothic takes your breath away.’
— THE NATIONAL TIMES
Beautiful singing; very sharp and witty lyrics.”

The Connoisseur Cabaret
The Connoisseur Cabaret is a carefully collated monthly event that seeks to entertain the overworked and overwhelmed people of Melbourne with the best of what creativity in this city has to offer.
Maroussia Vladi - writer, producer, story-teller - weaves a thought-provoking tale each month based on a unique and philosophical theme. Embedded throughout the night are meticulously selected acts from talented groups and individuals of Melbourne's creative community.
The Connoisseur Cabaret offers you a night out – midweek, mid-month – like no other! A show and a party all at once, this cabaret celebrates existential crisis, broken-hearts, chaos, let-downs, the randomness and the ‘meaninglessness' of life as a collective. Together, through storytelling, we can make this moment memorable … what can be more meaningful than that?
So don't miss a cabaret, held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month and starting on the 16th of December 2026. And, why a Wednesday, you ask? They're not called ‘hump days' for nothing … The Connoisseur Cabaret is determined to make Wednesdays the sexiest day of the week!
Remember, if you miss a cabaret, there may not be another one; the most important aspect to any live performance is you, the audience! Melbourne has talent, there's no question … but does it have YOU???
So, book your ticket, and let's start this exciting, cultural phenomenon in the year of the fire horse!
Ruby Gill Fishin' Tour
Ruby Gill and her band are taking their third record Fishing is not about fishing on the road across Australia this autumn, coming to a body of water near you to answer your most existential questions, make you laugh in a witty way and move you to real tears. This remarkable achievement in songwriting and just as remarkable a performance (Stereogum) makes profound the realm of the normal, weaving a thread of Ruby's origin story and continual search for meaning across 11 songs - and you won't want to miss its extraordinary performance by some of Australia's top musicians.
Three albums in, and Ruby has completely nailed her very own genre of roguely spiritual, strangely catchy, rough novella hits. With unparalleled specificity and deadpan wit, she doesn't sound like any folk you know, but that makes her all the more enticing to a much-bigger-than-cult cult following.
Ruby's tender, strange, and delightfully ungovernable lyrical wizardry is beloved by everyone from triple j and Double J, to BBC and KCRW over the pond. She's sold-out tours in Australia, South Africa and the UK/EU, and been named by Rolling Stone, NME, CLASH, The Guardian and The Independent as some of Australia's best music, with two Australian Music Prize nominations to her name and Best Country Album at the recent Australian Independent Record Awards.
Kasinda 'This Life' EP Launch
Celebrate the release of Kasinda's debut EP ‘This Life' on November 6th at Brunswick's Quadrophonic Club.
‘This Life' platforms themes of freedom, justice and cultural connection, showcasing our shared humanity and experiences across seas and continents. Journeying through genres of reggae, afro-folk and afrobeat, Kasinda promises to bring the heat with this debut live performance. The music was inspired through Kasinda's three trips to Ghana and Nigeria throughout 2024 and 2025 where she sought to explore her own Nigerian heritage and contemplated the themes which bind people despite their differences. Recorded across Accra, Ghana and Melbourne, Australia (Naarm), the EP features many talented musicians across Afrobeat, reggae and jazz genres including Immy Owusu, members from Surprise Chef, Immy Owusu, Ansong Jnr (GH) and dub mix by Ben Mckone (Hollie Cook, Jalen Ngonda). This Life serves as a reminder that we as a collective create the world we live, and are not merely observers.
Joining Kasinda at the Quadrophonic Club is Afrodelik pioneer Immy Owusu and bringing the big afterparty energy, Langai (DJ).
Kédu
DOORS AT 6PM! Free Clubroom Gig
Kédu is a child of many cultures - born and raised in Aotearoa, of Nigerian descent, and now based in Naarm/Melbourne; she is no stranger to the beauty of amalgamation. This sense of convergence sits at the heart of her practice as a live electronic performer, songwriter, and composer for screen and stage.
Best known as one half of the electronic duo Kédu Carlö alongside her solo project, Kédu’s music weaves together a tapestry of deep, hypnotic house-driven grooves and sensual, smooth vocals. Her latest release ‘What Can You Show Me?’ is a dance-focused EP, inspired by her recent move to Naarm and shaped through a year of DJ and live electronic sets.
From sharing stages with Nathan Haines at the Wellington Opera House and The Night Cat, to performing alongside Jujulipps at Northcote Theatre, and solo at Pitch Music & Arts Festival - Kédu has brought her magnetic live practice to stages across Aotearoa and Australia. With features in Attack Magazine (USA), Rolling Stone (AU/NZ), Sniffers (NZ), and Triple J (AUS), Kédu continues to carve out a distinct voice across the electronic music landscape. As part of Kédu Carlö, she has toured extensively throughout New Zealand and Australia, performing at renowned festivals including Splore, Electric Avenue, Two Minds Festival, and Rhythm and Vines. Celebrated for their high-energy performances, the duo seamlessly fuse synthesisers, live percussion, vocals, and DJ techniques into an electrifying hybrid live show. Most recently, they completed a tour across New Zealand and Australia alongside the release of their latest single and music video, Soul Alive. Beyond performing, Kédu Carlö are passionate educators, hosting annual Ableton Live production workshops in Auckland and Melbourne, where they share their live performance and studio practices with emerging artists.
Alongside her music releases, Kédu works as a composer and sound designer for screen and theatre. Her recent composition for the short documentary Amali screened at London’s BAFTA-qualifying film festival in 2025, marking a continued expansion into cinematic and orchestral sound worlds.
At the heart of Kédu's practice is a belief that beauty lives in convergence.
Burn City Soul Club
Fast, loud and rare northern, crossover and modern soul played by vinyl DJs all night. Keep the faith!
Northern soul is a music and dance culture that emerged in working class youth clubs in Northern England and the midlands in the early 1970s. It developed from the British mod scene and celebrates a particular style of fast, gritty and rare Black American soul music.
Northern soul went underground in the 80s and 90s but was sustained and expanded by diehard dancers and prominent DJs discovering previously overlooked records. Today, in the UK and beyond, Northern Soul is experiencing a resurgence with flocks of young people searching for an alternative club night that prioritises the music and not the DJ.
Come and join us for a night of fast, loud and rare northern, modern and crossover soul. All welcome. Keep the faith!

Ned Collette 'Mixed Light' Album Launch
Presented By: It Records
Special Guest: Sarah Mary Chadwick
Ned Collette returns to Melbourne to launch his new album ‘Mixed Light', out in Australia on It Records. Featuring a quintet of his closest collaborators – The Necks' Chris Abrahams on piano, Ben Bourke bass, Leah Senior voice, and Joe Talia on the drums – last seen on our shores as part of the monolithic New Rampant Optimism Roadshow at Rising 2025. This will be a chance to see the band more deeply explore material from ‘Mixed Light' and 2024's ‘Our Other History', as well as numbers dating back to his beloved 2006 debut, ‘Jokes & Trials'.
Collette has long established himself as a songwriter whose literate, evocative songs are paired with music that's both adventurous and eclectic. His albums exist inside a dynamic flux of folk, jazz and avant rock, and his songwriting, combined with his early background in improvised and experimental music, has resulted in eight albums of uncompromising vision, released on a variety of international labels. These are produced mostly out of his studio in Berlin, where he has been based since 2010. He has collaborated and shared stages with artists such as Bonnie Prince Billy (who sings on the new album), Cat Power, Bill Callahan, Joanna Newsom, Kurt Vile, and Deerhoof, and appeared at festivals throughout Europe, Australasia, Japan, South America and the USA.

Blank Canvas - Presented by Roswel and Master Kapow
Long-time collaborators Master Kapow & Roswel (Fabian Acuna & Jarrod Brereton) present an evening of all-original music born from a simple idea: what happens when two musicians challenge themselves to compose specifically for a unique and eclectic ensemble of instruments?
Fabian and Jarrod have been making music together since high school, across folk bands, party bands, commercial projects and hybrid electronic acts. Their musical lives have always been shaped by the different projects they've found themselves in. With Blank Canvas, they are scratching a long time itch: starting from nothing and seeing where their own musical ideas take them.
The result is an immersive chamber music experience combining wind quintet with electric bass and drums. Intricate, neo-classical textures weave through propulsive grooves, building music that pulses with life, drama and reflection.
Expect a journey through the musical minds of two long-time collaborators as they explore composition, improvisation, texture and rhythm without being bound to a particular genre or format. It's a project built on creative freedom, curiosity and the thrill of discovering where an idea might lead.
Come for an adventurous night of innovative music, unexpected turns, humour and warmth, as Master Kapow & Roswel dive headlong into unknown musical possibilities.

Their chemistry is built on years of collaboration across jazz, soul, and improvised music, resulting in performances that feel both refined and completely alive. Fresh from appearances at London's Ronnie Scott's and performances alongside internationally celebrated artists including Tenderlonious and Jaubi, John Henderson continue to establish themselves as one of Melbourne's most compelling contemporary jazz groups: confident, honest, and deeply musical.
