GOOD PASH

Are Good Pash an elite criminal task force, music producers or 4 mates from Sydney's inner west?  Could they be all of these things.....nah...I mean maybe, well you work it out.

Whatever they are you'll find they them playing unashamed loud, messy music at a pub near you.  A sound that could nod it's head to Bikini Kill or sit along side the Dune Rats.

The girls have their debut release coming out soon.  Check their out their Facebook page for details and show info.

BIG SKY MOUNTAIN

Big Sky Mountain are a 6 piece all-female musical collective from Sydney, Australia. With a sound that is reminiscent of Norah Jones, Feist and a hint of Wilco they take you on a journey from gypsy Jazz to alt country with a bit of gospel and a sprinkling of pirate.

All 6 women have many years of musical experience that traces
their beginnings from all walks of the globe giving the band a rich cultural influence and interesting twist.

With several layers of heavenly vocal harmonies, combined with a tight rhythm section, melodic guitar picking and a dash of trumpet, Big Sky Mountain are charming, free spirited and at times show a sweet vulnerability.

PRODUCTION AND SOUND 

There's no doubt that women in audio are the minority with current figures of 5% or below, so we particularly encourage those thinking of pursuing a career on this side of the glass to come join us.

To borrow from the late, great George Martin "All you need is ears".
