Knievel ’Steep Hill Climb’ vinyl launch show w/ Smudge.

Knievel are excited to announce that they will be launching the vinyl reissue of their album ’Steep Hill Climb’ with a gig on Saturday, November 29 at Mixtape with support from Sydney legends Smudge. It promises to be a gala night of indie pandemonium. Songs from the album will be performed but sources close to the band say they may fall short of preforming the entire album in sequence.

Limited copies of the Steep Hill Climb album will be available along with a smorgasbord of product themed merchandise such as Knievel caps and tee shirts.

ZSA ZSA and HINANO FUJISAKI will be performing one another's songs as a duo, with new instrumentations and blissy sounds and possibly unheard new songs.

Strap yourselves in for an evening of heart-on-the sleeve stories and songs from two of Sydney’s finest purveyors of alt-country.

Copperline

Take some disarmingly honest storytelling, flavour it with generous lashings of twang and gritty rock and you get Copperline. The Sydney/Blue Mountains alt-country four-piece have lived and breathed the highs and lows of the rock and low life – and that experience can’t help but find its way into their music.

With two records under their belt, and a third on the way (all produced by Shane Nicholson) Copperline have earned a reputation for their heart-on-sleeve songwriting and live performances – and have picked up a swag of award nominations, radio spins and festival slots along the way.

Adam Young and The Down Main

Having spent several years in successful indie rock acts such as the Daisygrinders and Big Heavy Stuff, Adam Young has had his songs covered by the likes of You Am I and The Lemonheads. This would be enough to make any musician retire happily.

But it his solo work with which Adam will truly leave his mark.

His debut solo album, Elementary Carnival Blues, features 10 tracks of real alternative country and we believe that it easily stands beside the best work from Wilco, the Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo and other legends of the genre. But Adam hasn’t left his roots behind either. Imagine if Gram Parsons had fronted early REM or Steve Earle got together with Buffalo Tom.

FULL LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT!

KATRINA TODD = amazingly rich and thoughtful songwriting, introspective musings and pastoral montages. Grounding and piercing voice. Wise and playful.

On this very night, the third of October in the year of 2025, and long before the rooster crows, you cannot deny the musical showdown of apocryphal proportions on display at Mixtape Brewing & Bar.
We are the resurrection, the fishermen, ye merry gentlemen and keepers of the keys to your Friday night in rock.
SXY XMS are bringing the Yuletide-blues and lounge-boogie metal; and relative newcomers ST PETERS will bring their majestic psych and power-pop stylings to the table.
It might be their first supper together but it surely won’t be the last.

And it’s free, to all and sundry.

THE VORS make noise with guitars. Is it rock? Sure. Is it indie? Maybe. Is it music? Most of the
time. It’s fast, it’s loud, it’s got melodies that sneak up on you and riffs that hit like a half-brick in a
sock. Don’t overthink it — they don’t.
Formed somewhere near Bondi after too much sun and not enough supervision, THE VORS
emerged fully formed, like a bad idea that worked out way too well. They sound like the smell of
burnt toast, coconut sunscreen, and broken promises. No one’s really sure how they got here, least
of all them. But they do know one thing…they don’t play music — they unleash it, like a possum in
a bin.
Peter Martignago hits the drums like they owe him money. Ed Heerey keeps the low end tight.
Davor Pavlovic and Chris Franklin trade riffs and vocals like two old drunks in a bar fight.
THE VORS: like getting tackled by a friend you didn’t know you had. Twice!

Hailing from the Inner West of Sydney/Eora, The After Thoughts are a four-piece indie rock band, whose original music radiates warmth and energy. Drawing from jazz to rock, their vast array of influences are channeled into their songwriting, creating a sound that blends punchy instrumentation with distinct vocal harmonies and vibrant melodies. In 2024, The After Thoughts placed first in the USYD Battle of the Bands Competition, and have since played packed-out shows at venues including Manning Bar and The Lansdowne, launching their debut single ‘Horses and Courtney’ at the Oxford Art Factory.

A dose of ‘00s singer-songwriter–inspired realness

Billy May is a singer-songwriter based in Eora/Sydney who has been compared to Jeff Buckley, Big Thief and Fiona Apple. Having spent the last few years playing guitar for some of Sydney’s finest acts including Maia Toakley, Mannequin Radio, Ned Olive, such big water, Bonetwister and Emerald, he decided to embark on a solo music journey. He has since released two singles ‘Billy Day’ and ‘Last Year’ to positive reception and radio play, as well as doing single launches in Sydney and Brisbane. His debut EP ‘…to Friendship’ will be released independently in September 2025.

Ofri is a singer-songwriter whose unashamedly candid lyrics and intricate piano-vocal arrangements form a particular (and peculiar) brand of chamber folk. Inspired by legends of alternative songwriting such as Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor and Sufjan Stevens, Ofri's performances with her horn-woodwind-rhythm combo dance dynamically between genres, with pop, jazz and folk fabrics sewn together by her distinctive and disarming style. Perhaps even more immediately noticeable than her frankness is her voice, a wild thing which can inhabit every colour of expression — from raw emotionality to heartfelt subtlety, with every shade in-between. Her debut album “That Heavy Magnetism” (2024) was described by AAA Backstage as “a must-listen … a rich, musical experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is mesmerising”.

Coming off the back of their recent east coast tour in support of their fourth album This Masthead, Infinity Broke play a rare free entry show at Mixtape on Fri July 25th. Fronted by prolific songwriter and producer, Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss, Solo, The Tall Grass) on guitar and vocals, alongside Scott Hutchings (Drums/Guitar), Reuben Wills (Bass) and new member aux-drummer-percussionist Tyrone Stevens, This Masthead explores a collaborative approach to songwriting with half the album’s tracks finding their origins in group improvisation.

‘Infinity Broke's sound is created and enhanced by the two drum attack and guitar playing that defies all conventions, reminding me of the late great Rowland S Howard at times. 'This Masthead' is evidence of a band that is willing to explore and innovate and create something that evokes a huge range of emotions across its nine searing tracks. ‘- Backseat Mafia

Catch this seasoned quartet’s intoxicating brew of percussive flavoured noise, repetition, atmosphere and melody at Mixtape on Fri June 25th.

Special guests are The Electorate.  Having just launched their second album By Design, the Electorate have created a statement of intent, and one that harnesses the chaos of the creative process. In writing, the trio of Eliot Fish, Josh Morris and Nick Kennedy embraced a collective approach and explored new spaces.

For Gena Stone, songwriting is an act of discovery - lyrics born from scribbled fragments that reveal their true meaning over time. Dancing between dream-pop and indie-rock influences, Stone shapes a sonic world of textured guitars, smooth vocals, and shimmering synths that feels entirely her own.

Released on April 11, her latest single, ‘Silhouette’, signals the start of a bold new chapter. The track delves into intrusive thoughts as shadowy 󹀼figures that stir doubt and insecurity. At its core, ‘Silhouette’ is about reclaiming confidence, quieting the noise, and trusting in your own magic.

Stone's live shows shift󹀿 between dreamy textures and vibrant, energetic moments - balancing emotional depth with irresistible energy that invites the crowd in.

Emerging from the stormy shores of Muloobinba/Newcastle, Soyboy presents a unique blend of post-punk, art-rock and synth-pop. With the power of vibrant sax licks combined with the mania induced from staring at the sun for too long, catching a Soyboy show is much like witnessing an eclipse for the first time: unforgettable.

Known for their chaotic sound produced by the 5 piece; Zack John on Saxophone, William Middleton on Keys/Vox, Eli Croft on Guitar, Cupar Ross on Drums and Jade Gallogly on Bass/Vox.

‘Find it hard to describe Soyboy to people without falling into wild scenerios like "What if Black Country, New Road and LCD Soundsystem had a baby" or even "Imagine My Chemical Romance swapped their guitars for synths and wanted to make you dance"

- Spencer Scott, Triple J Unearthed Review
