Old New York is a Brisbane band that formed late in 2008 although the members, two of which are brothers, have been making music together for over a decade. The culminating years have provided a strong foundation for the band and has more than influenced their style of ‘90’s inspired indie rock. The band has based their style in vocal driven, guitar heavy pop songs that are reminiscent of early pop-punk bands such as Dinosaur Jr. or Pavement. They have recently self-recorded and independently produced their self titled album which is set to be released on 16th July 2009. Old New York has recently played their first string of live shows with an overwhelming response. Stay Tuned…
Making a comeback is Brisbane band AXIS. Returning to stage at The Zoo after two years in the studio AXIS will be debuting new material from their recently released album REVOLVE. This showcase is in preparation for the official launch party later in the year. This will be the first time the material has been performed live, the album has been well received for its’ heavy rock feel, lush vocal harmonies.
Supported by fellow locals The LoveBuckles.

Braving numerous failed recording attempts, frequent queasiness and floods, The Estates’ brand-new EP The Gramaphonium is finally completed and jangles, croons and electrifies with the best of them, showcasing the kind of ruckus The Estates have been belting out in Brisbane for the past two years.
The band will stretch, flex, then launch this attractively-packaged CD at the good people in The Zoo on the evening of Friday 17th of July, and you can expect capers, buffoonery, and perhaps even horseplay. Joining them will be soul providers and harmonious hustlers Jake Rush & The Bad Habits, and nine-piece whimsically magnificent gypsy kids Lion Island.
All are enthusiastically invited to partake in the launch, and The Estates promise an amazing show, when feet will move, hearts will warm, and innermost secrets will be revealed for one night only, and you’ll just have to come and see for yourself.
SATURDAY 18.07.09 | FUNKOARS, PHRASE, VENTS | DOORS : 8:00PM | DOOR CHARGE : $25.00
8:45 - 9:20 | VENTS
9:50 - 10:30 | PHRASE
11:00 - 12:00 | FUNKOARS
Funkoars hit the road again to ask Australia “What’s Your Malfunction?”
Scoring a coveted Triple J feature album spot for the their third album The Hangover and subsequently selling out many of the dates on the national tour earlier this year, it was inevitable that the Funkoars would saddle up to reign down on the Australian masses once again. This time, Trials, Sesta, Hons and DJ Reflux are doing it even larger, embarking on one of the biggest national tours ever undertaken by a Australian hip hop act. The tour includes two dates in hometown Adelaide, where the Oars most recently packed out the Thebarton Theatre for their massive album launch show.
To exacerbate matters, they’re bringing fellow Triple J favourite Phrase (ft DJ Flagrant and live drummer) and Certified Wise class warrior Vents (ft DJ Ad-Fu) along the majority of dates, making for one of the strongest local line-ups seen on one stage.
The Hangover debuted in November 2008 at #1 on ARIA’s Hitseeker rankings and #2 on the AIR Independent Album charts. It features Hilltop Hoods, Vents and Masta Ace, and is available on Peepshow Entertainment through Shogun Distribution.
