The band, made up of ex-Echuca residents, will perform an octane-fuelled original set followed by a second set of grunge, indie and rock covers from the 1990s and 2000s.

Members reunited at their Echuca High School reunion in 2022 where they decided to form the band.

Band member Cameron Lofthouse said the band has spent the last two years working on new music.

“We've spent the last two years crafting 10 tracks. We recently recorded them in Deniliquin, and they will drop on an album in 2025,” he said.

“It's a culmination of tracks we wrote years ago and some things fresh off the press. There's a feeling in the band that we've pushed this to a new level, so it's super exciting for us all.”

He added that playing in Echuca is a highlight for the band.

“It's our home town and where it all started for us. We still have a heap of family and friends here, and they sure know how to party,” he said.

Guests will also be treated to Echuca’s own Shellie Kornmann opening the night with some acoustic melodies.
