Sat 4th May: Anne Simmons & the Bitter Shush with Malibu Spacey - From 8pm - Free!

Anne Simmons & the Bitter Shush will launch their second single 'Peter Hits The Drums' at Ringo Barr.
Support from Malibu Spacey.
Free entry!
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Three-piece Gippsland-Melbourne band Anne Simmons & the Bitter Shush teams delicate vocals with a rocking rhythm section provided by Gaetano Valenzisi and Anton Zalewski.
Folk-rock singer Anne Simmons lives in a small former forestry town, has a unique dynamic voice, and her genre is hard to pinpoint. Her music can have a ‘60s and ‘70s feel, with soul, country, and jazz influences.
‘Peter Hits the Drums’ is the second single from Anne Simmons & the Bitter Shush, recorded by Nao Anzai. It follows their debut single, ‘Do I Lift You Up’, released in late-2023. ‘Peter Hits The Drums’ explores enthusiasm and drive, and the absence of it. Anne is observing, or imagining, this kind of energy as an outsider, who had lost a sense of daily routine and connections.
Melbourne/Naarm band Malibu Spacey makes music that’s all jangly 12 string acoustic guitars, intricate lead lines, three-part vocal harmonies and noodly bass grooves. The sound takes pieces of 70s country rock, folk and dreamy indie rock, fitting somewhere in the world of artists like Cass McCombs and Angel Olsen.

Sun 5th May: Cravzov & JD Lewis - From 2.30pm - Free!

Cravzov is the solo project of Pablo Cravzov, an Argentinian musician based in Melbourne since 2020. For 11 years, he served as a composer and vocalist in the band Sur du Monde, which led him to tour Azerbaijan, the United States (including the SXSW Festival), and Europe.
In Australia, Cravzov began busking and performing in pubs as a Guitar Singer/Songwriter. Additionally, he works as a freelance Recording Engineer, having collaborated with major recording studios in the city specializing in Audiobooks.
Cravzov's music is characterized by songs rooted in Rock but infused with Pop elements, featuring prevalent synthesizers and processed vocals. His compositions blend the melancholic sensitivity of Pop with the grandeur of Rock, incorporating modern Psychedelic elements. His lyrics often explore themes of travel and introspection.
