DADBOD + HEAPS GRASS + WINTER STARLINGS LIVE AT MIXTAPE

  • Mixtape Brewing & Bar 142A Victoria Road Marrickville, NSW, 2204 Australia (map)

DADBOD makes stripped-back rock songs about collapse, personal, cultural, emotional. Breakups, bad habits, dead ends, and the quiet pressure of everyday life. Their sound sits somewhere between Britpop melody and pub-floor rock, shaped by jazz feel rather than jazz spectacle. Big guitars, elastic rhythm, plain language, no sentimentality. It is not always pretty. That is the point.

Ebony Tait, Lachlan Mills & Jack Rosenzweig are HEAPS GRASS. After meeting at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2023, the trio began writing music together combining dreamy textures and rich grooves with nostalgic storytelling, evoking the picturesque Australian coastline where they grew up. They released their debut 5-track EP in early 2025, recorded at Golden Retriever Studios with renowned Australian engineer Simon Berckelman, accompanied by a headline tour visiting Melbourne, Kiama, Nowra, Canberra and Sydney.

Winter Starlings is a Sydney-based folk rock band formed in 2019 by singer-songwriter Robin Fitzgerald, joined by Jack Dunn (electric guitar & vocals), Peter Marley (double bass & vocals), and Tony Bibby (drums). The band blends acoustic warmth with electric energy, crafting a sound that fuses pastoral Americana, alt-country, and British folk with a distinctly Australian storytelling flair.
