1) JACK FLASH (South East Country, Queensland, Australia)


Jack Flash is a Toowoomba born and based folk/punk six-piece with a unique brand of catchy, dancing tunes, lyrical genius and fancy flair. Originating in the spring of 2006 they developed a style which brings traditional Australian folk sounds and themes to a punk audience.

Jack Flash is influenced by such acts as Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Red Gum, The Pogues and The Bushwhackers Band. Drawing on a rich background of Australian, Celtic and American tunes, the Jack Flash boys have forged their own sound and deliver a fresh contribution to the Folk/Punk genre.

In the past four years the band has performed extensively around South East Queensland, with regular forays into New South Wales and Victoria. Jack Flash have had the honour of sharing the stage with a multitude of highly acclaimed international and local acts, including Leftover Crack (USA), Pack (Switz.), KC & The Moonshine Band (Canada), Unpaid Debt, Zombie Ghost Train, The Go Set, Sydney City Trash, Steve Towson, Blowhard and The Quickening.

2) GREEDY STOUT (Darwin, NT, Australia)

Greedy Stout began their campaign to conquer the world in Darwin, somewhere around the year 2006. Now with the good folk of Darwin somewhat exhausted from the Greedy Stout high-energy onslaught in local pubs and Top End festivals, the band is looking for new lands to clobber. Greedy Stout music is a feisty blend of rock and folk with punk attitude. They are somewhere in the vein of Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and perhaps The Clash. Besides the usual bass, drums and guitar there is also violin, mandolin and viola with ripping lyrics about blood, death, beer, rebellion and a smidget of love. That’s entertainment!


Members:

Kane Stewart - Guitar and vocals
Lewis Parsons - Viola and mandolin
Tony Frey - Drums & vocals
Jimi Bonne - Bass and vocals
Gaih Osborne - Violin & vocals

5) ROUND MOUNTAIN GIRLS (North Cast, New South Wales, Australia)

The Round Mountain Girls formed in the summer of 2005/2006 at the base of Round Mountain, Cabarita, Northern NSW. With nothing more than Global domination on their minds and an unhealthy interest in bluegrass, Irish, blues and rock music, they began to rearrange classic songs and traditional tunes, bending them tastefully out of shape using nothing more than traditional instuments, Thursday nights and a lust for life. Extraordinary renditions of tunes such as “Pachelbel Cannon”, meandering in and out of “So Lonely” and the banjo driven jungle rhythms of “Walk Like an Egyptian” have enthralled audiences across all age groups and tastes. Slowly however, the RMG sound began to develop and a flood of original material came along which perfectly complemented the old classics.

Their debut album entitled "White Rum" (2008) has been described as “….grittily optimistic” and “simply daunting” (Deborah Minter, Capital News 2008) and is a snap shot of where the band is right now. Songs on White Rum tell modern stories using traditional instruments and showcase their songwriting talents and musicianship. The title track has been aired nationwide.

They display an uncanny ability to grab a new audience by the scruff of the neck and shake them around until they leave the dance floor in search of oxygen. Their appeal is universal. Whether 6 or 60, Country, Disco, Pop, Rock or Folk, they'll have a little bit for everyone.

Members:

Bead Hails - Guitar, vocals, didge
Chris Brooker - Mandolin, vocals, djembe
Rabbit Robinson - Fiddle, vocals
Chris Willoughby - Bass
Rex Carter- Drums
Chris Eaton - Banjo, guitar, vocals.

6) AUSTRALIAN BEEFWEEK SHOW (Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia)

According to the Australian pocket oxford dictionary.... e"go ; an act or time of solely indulging in one's interests/self expression.

"The Australian Beefweek Show'" with it's highly hedonistic values have been expressing such interests for nearly a decade now. Obviously this choice of existance will have it's victims. With only one origial soldier that entered this particular war zone still standing, the decision was to keep re-cruiting new bunches of self-destructive semi-musical warlords to take up the charge. We could sit here for days just trying to think of all the past members, let alone take you into any detail of the life that they experienced as a member of the revolving door that is "the australian beefweek show". Rather than bore you shittless with some trad band bio, we are simply going to run you through a brief Q and A with the five current members.

QUESTION (1) WHAT IS THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT COME'S TO MIND WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD "BEEFWEEK"?
PETE (drums) : ahh? ok! hah hah!..... yeah man!
MULLARD (guitar/vox) : ahhh? fuck! ummm?.... steak in a schooner glass!
FRAMMO (bass/vox) : keeping the cunt in country rock!
ERROL (guitar/vox) : ahh yeah!........ that pack of deadshits!
WASHY (vox/rum) : looks like wer'e drinking tonight!

QUESTION (2) BEST BEEFWEEK GIG OF ALL TIME?
MULLARD : that would be my first one, five years ago.We played three sets and I only knew one of them!.And the very hazey memory of bufo dipping stale bread into molten mull butter. Not to mention the pantless hilarity that soon followed. PETE : it was somewhere between peat's ridge and wollombi, playing in the mud at some fucken doof-doof with a bunch of filthy hippies!
FRAMMO : the gumball 2005. I think it was Errol's first gig?. Washy was firing on all cylinders that night. Best performance to date!
ERROL : it would have to be the bikie pub at scone, when the licencee informs the band that it's free beers all night and is also willing to facilitate in the flow of free rum and shots aswell! You know your gonna be there for a while!
WASHY : the first time we ever got naked on stage at our album launch, during a cover of "chase the dragon". This came after actually learning a good part of the set for that night in the van that afternoon, on the way home from Armidale.

QUESTION (3) WORST BEEFWEEK GIG EVER?
WASHY : the time we drove to Lismore for one gig. It fucken took twelve hours to get there due to bufo's combi shitting itself. And then about twenty minutes into the set I past out due to a hideous dose of the flu.
ERROL : my first gig at the 2005 gumball. Ispent most of the set playing agony aunt to the stage manager. He was continuely tapping me on the shoulder, venting his fury about the amount of rum and beer that was being spilt all over his sound system by our "not so in control" frontman.
MULLARD : it would have to be the gumball 2005, hey wasn't that Errol's first gig?. Man!!! Really rad!!! chris was like?...fuck!!..well ya know?? fuck that's evil!!! FRAMMO : playing an autonomy day at Newy uni at 6am half cut skulling rum. Washy targeted the only person other than the sound guy who was paying us any attention and proceeded to hurl comments like "your so fucken ugly mate! I reckon you'de have trouble getting a fuck in a brothel" back and forth for most of the set. The innocent victim of his drunken abuse turned out to be a harmless lesbian.
PETE : man I'm in the middle of a tafe class at the moment. Can I call you back?
