ARTISTS

Starcrawler are a rock band for a new generation. Best known for their explosive live shows, the 5-piece band consists of full-throttle frontwoman Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash and brother Bill Cash on pedal steel/guitar, drummer Seth Carolina, and bassist Tim Franco. They fully lean into their own epic vision of a contemporary Hollywood Babylon, they’ve morphed into a modern day take on LA legends X, with a sprinkle of The Go-Go’s, a smattering of The Distillers and some Rolling Stones sleaze thrown in for good measure. Since their early days, Starcrawler have won the love of such legendary artists as Shirley Manson, Elton John, Iggy Pop, Jack White, Dave Grohl. Now embarking on a new ‘era’, Los Angeles’ most thrilling rock’n’roll collective are as raw and hungry as ever, but refined, refreshed and ready to take on whatever's thrown at them. Starcrawler return to Australian shores for one exclusive show at LuliePalooza 2024. The only chance for rock n roll lovers to catch their epic live show.  

Starcrawler (USA)

Naarm/Melbourne heavyweights Cash Savage & The Last Drinks' legendary live shows are an overwhelming flood of emotion and sound, with magnetic frontwoman Cash at the centre of the storm.  
Savage’s band The Last Drinks are a powerhouse of fierce and brooding energy, every bit as committed to her songs and message.  
Each performance by this band is as epic as it is honest, raw and human. A cathartic, communal experience that refuses to give the audience an easy ethical bypass, but challenges listeners to ask themselves the hard questions and step up.

After four long and excruciatingly boring years of a Gooch Palms free existence, the  gruesome twosome are back in what is undoubtedly the hottest resurrection since  Jesus Christ! 

In early 2020, after an amazing ten years of relentlessly touring the world and  releasing many a catchy bop, The Gooch Palms were convinced they had come to  the end of their musical journey. So they bid us all adieu and hearts were broken  across the globe. Fast forward four years and here we are. Everyone’s favourite  bubblegum punks have decided that all the reasons they quit the band no longer matter and are back to slay another day! 

 If this is your first time hearing of The Gooch Palms, here’s a brief history...  The real life married couple - Leroy Macqueen and Kat Friend met back in  Newcastle, NSW many moons ago. While living in Sydney in 2010 they formed a  two-piece DIY garage punk band and called it two random words out of a bunch of  random words their friend Kyle had scribbled on their wall in chalk. Those two  magical words were GOOCH PALMS. They released their debut album ‘Novo’s’, a  homage to their hometown of Newcastle while back living there in 2013. Even  though it was somewhat of a pisstake, the duo found themselves repping Newcastle  pretty hard and loyally from that moment on. Their next chapter took them across the  Pacific to Los Angeles, where they lived and toured for three years. During this time  they toured the US playing alongside many notable bands including Mean Jeans,  Shannon & The Clams, Death Valley Girls, Wand, Guantanamo Baywatch and many  more and returned to tour Australia with Violent Soho on their ‘Waco’ tour alongside  Dune Rats and DZ Deathrays and after becoming solid chums with The Dunies,  played dozens of shows with them across the UK, Europe, USA and Australia. Also during their American residence in 2016, they recorded their second album  ‘Introverted Extroverts’ with world renowned producer/engineer Bill Skibbe (The  Black Keys, The Kills, Fiery Furnaces) in Michigan. In 2018 The Gooch Palms found  themselves back in Australia, somewhat burnt out by the heavy touring but with a  new album in the works. That album went on to be their 3rd album mysteriously titled  'III’ and was their most ambitious yet. It was also their first album to be released  through a major label - BMG. With singles featuring heavily on Triple J including a  Like a Version appearance and their biggest touring opportunities to date, with the  likes of a massive Grinspoon and Stranglers tour, the band seemed like they were set to sky rocket. But internally they were feeling much different. The spark had died and to save their personal relationship, the band was unfortunately put to rest, for  what Leroy and Kat thought would be forever. But it seems no one should ever say  never because here we are! 

So with a completely fresh outlook and a new pep in their collective step, The  Goochies make their triumphant return. There will be new music at some stage and  you’ll see them starting to pop up here and there. But the duo are keeping it pretty  chill. So if you get a chance, head along to see one of Australia’s most entertaining  bands with some of the boppinest and earwormy songs you’re be likely to hear. Do  believe the hype y’all! 

Gooch Palms

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice & you’ll have to read this thrice, because after a monumental 7 year hiatus- Eagle & the Worm are reforming for the first time, to play LuliePalooza 24. Initially formed as a studio project of singer, songwriter and producer Jarrad Brown in 2010, Eagle and the Worm quickly ascended into the tailspin of road life through the whole 2010s, taking their electric and infectious stage show, to audiences and festivals in Australia and Europe, on the back of what became their critically acclaimed debut album "GoodTimes" EATW bring an eclectic mix of organised chaos through the prism of their acclaimed 7 piece live performances; seamlessly blending styles of soul, rock n roll, baggy beats, into a party stage show- mashing sun soaked psych, loping bass hooks, horn blasts. Collaborating in the studio with the likes of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (Chicago), producer Steven Schram (Crowded House, Mildlife) & have squeezed into some of the countries most coveted clubs, festivals & stages. EATW return with their distinctive epic show. Poised to party at LuliePalooza 24 

Eagle & The Worm

Discordant and dissonant. Batpiss have masterfully crafted sounds of gloom and darkness with a cut-throat sense of raw power over their 14 years as a band.  

However it’s a rarity to see them perform these days, only coming out of the shadows on a few occasions each year but the aura that Batpiss bring to each performance is undeniable. From the very first metallic strum to the last beat, full attention is commanded by all who witness.  Uniting all dance floor lovers with inner secret loved hits of eras gone by, House of Cheese DJ’s (Sissy & Za Za) bring love and chaos to the LuliePalooza stage and D-FLOOR.  "All Bangers and No Shame” all the way.  hou

Batpiss

Antipodean songwriter Skyscraper Stan is a true believer in the power of words. One sentence, massaged just the right way, can be an entire story in and of itself. “I write songs slowly” he says “I think about everything I put down. Every line I sing, there’s a meaning to it”. Across a career spanning the better part of a decade, two studio albums and countless live performances, he has established himself as one of the most thrilling lyricists working in Australia today. Endless months on the road, “singing for his chips”, observing the lives of people in town and country and putting it all down on paper has sharpened Stan’s songwriting to a fine point.  

The Commission Flats, Stan’s longtime collaborators, are equally responsible for the band’s cult following. The distinctive guitar work of Oskar Herbig is as much a part of the sound as Stan’s songwriting. Martin Schilov’s melodic basslines, with influences ranging Stax era soul through to Melbourne post punk, march in lockstep with Andy Lloyd-Russell’s consistently surprising (and endlessly satisfying) work on the drumkit. A more recent addition to the sound - the saxophone of Samuel Boon - peppers the live set with pops, blasts, squeals, growls and hooks.  

Skyscraper Stan

While any reputable queer advice column will tell you that there is, in fact, such a thing as too much processing, Platonic Sex are yet to approach their limit. At the intersection of rock aesthetics and folk storytelling, the band's guitar-driven melodies cocoon lyrics which explore the duality of toughness and intimacy. 

Platonic Sex

Sewing twang, lyrical wit and late-night musings into a captivating country-soul heart, Hana and Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits craft sauntering, hook-laden tapestries drenched in rock-and-roll swagger. 

Hana Brenecki’s searing, sophisticated and effortlessly dexterous vocals pierce the core of songs rich in the very reasons why country-soul music is so darn affecting in the first place. What’s more, you heard it here first: no-one plays guitar quite like Jessie-Lee Zubkevych.  

The band have recently appeared live onstage at Tamworth Country Music Festival, WOMADelaide, Out On The Weekend, Brunswick Music Festival, Adelaide Guitar Festival, Dashville Skyline, and Queenscliff Music Festival  and have spent the last few years relentlessly road testing and refining the tunes which make up their new album “Say What You Mean” (released in April 2024). The  11 track album features the 3 lead singles "Arrowhead", "Tallest Of Tales" & "Paper Boats" and is full of rock'n'roll swagger with tinges of country and soul heartbreak. 

The long and short of it? Hana and Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits are one for the ages. You’d better be in front of that stage. 

Hana & Jessie Lee's Bad Habits

The Miffs are three women from Melbourne//Naarm bringing a healthy mix of psych, surf, grunge and all-out rock 'n roll. Their music is a jamboree of heaviness, dreaminess and atmospheric space.  

The Miffs

Jaded

Led by frontwoman and band namesake, Milly captivates listeners with her bewitching stage presence and tangible vulnerability. Milly’s unique songwriting is the product of profound grief and loss, and explores the depths of resulting anger and pain. The rawness of these emotions are palpably relived and shared in her music, invoking a strong artist-listener connection.  

Milly Strange has rapidly enchanted the hollows of Melbourne, and promises the same result on foreign stages. Their haunting first single, In Fire, delivers the all-too-familiar isolation of a bleeding heart, and is steeped with midnight seduction - characteristics that echo throughout their entire set 

Milly Strange

Uniting all dance floor lovers with inner secret loved hits of eras gone by, House of Cheese DJ’s (Sissy & Za Za) bring love and chaos to the LuliePalooza stage and D-FLOOR.  "All Bangers and No Shame” all the way.
