"The song writing nouse that went into each of the songs was quite breathtaking really. They were the most inspiring easily on the night, and they were the most exciting on stage ... it was passionate all around the room for the fans, for the judges, even - I mean, we were standing at the back of the room just gaping going, 'this is the finest thing I've ever seen'."
- James Clements, Beat Magazine (NCBC Judge)
“No lack of confidence when you put your name up front.
No lack of confidence when you leap into the crowd.
No lack of confidence in your band.
It's been a long time since I've seen someone so young, so filled with the exuberance and the stuff. You know the stuff. It's the thing of rock dreams.
Riveting presence. Great songs, and the band are so tight. They play their part brilliantly.
He wants it. He's obsessed and he sells that obsession. He and the band have a thirst.
Get on board.”
At last a band in the Australian music scene that doesn’t sound like some rehashed, borderline fucking cabaret mirror image of days gone by being sold as “original music” Will Stoker and the Embers are the best band in Australia

Hello again, a couple of boys from the Custom Kings have a side project called Joe Neptune. Joe's debut album, "No Time To Grow Up", is in stores now. Bonus tracks are available in iTunes. Thanks
Hey Will, hey Embers. Thanks for responding to our current Friends drive and adding Bands@Manjimup. We are doing this because we have a few really exciting events coming up like our recent concert, on Friday 20th, featuring Elora Danan (photo below) on their debut album tour, Manji prog rock band Ashoka and Perth ambient rockers Laced Affair. It was a high energy show with fantastic sound, and those who came got to meet the bands for more than an hour afterwards. The pictures are now up as a slideshow. Check them out at the top of our profile.
Next, we'll be hosting the biggest regional event in this year's WAMi Festival calendar, on 22nd May. The support acts: Abbe May, Sneaky Weasel Gang, Desert Radio and Ashoka. The headline act for the concert will be Callerway. Following day Abbe (songwriting) , Drew Godart (guitar) from Karnivool, Roy Martinez (bass) and Nick Johnson (drum tuning, cymbal selection and kit set-up) from Eskimo Joe will feature as lecturers in our B@M Youth Muso Workshops.
The June gig will feature an even bigger headline band, probably supported by local heroes Ashoka and Electrostatik.
We'll keep you updated with bulletins and you may want to tap into the bands listed on our Top 40. You'll always find the performers at our next gig right up the top. At the other end you'll find bands that have recently played, followed by acts, who want to play at B@M. Send us a comment if you like them and they maybe get the go.
Lastly: PLEASE VOTE AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING! It prevents proper FX lighting at outdoors concerts before 9pm in summer. Especially for support bands. It’s gotta go!!! Nag your elders if you can’t vote yet! Go viral on it and e-mail all your friends!
Peace, The Terminator
