Both Montaigne and The Bennies have acted as major stalwarts of the Australian music industry.
Montaigne’s debut album, Glorious Heights, was released in August 2016 and peaked at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The musician subsequently won Breakthrough Artist – Release for the album at the 2016 ARIA Music Awards and received nominations in three other categories. They then went on to represent Australia in 2021 iteration of the celebrated Eurovision Song Contest. Who better is there to fill in aspiring musicians on the highs and lows of the industry?
The Bennies have described themselves as „psychedelic reggae ska doom metal punk rock from Hell.” They have released four studio albums and two EPs, and are celebrated for their electrifying shows. Anty and Ollie from the band will be sure to have much to relay to the music-loving public on the night.
The event will kick off this Thursday at 5:30 pm (though doors officially open at 5:15).
Though the event is free, RSVP-ing at the link here is still required in order to attend.
