RENO ltd. + 01 Thurman are across the East Coast this September, don't say nobody warned you.

RENO ltd. are a Meanjin/Brisbane four-piece band fusing slacker, shoegaze and post-hardcore into a volatile, cathartic sound. In support of their third single, Milk Crate, the band completed their first East Coast tour, including selling out their first interstate headline show at The Old Bar with Good Music Online.

Gearing up to release their debut EP in September 2026, RENO ltd. continue to build momentum both on-stage and off. Their track, Don't Vote For Politicians It Only Encourages Them, received support from triple j's Home and Hosed and In The Pit programs. RENO ltd. have also become a mainstay on community radio stations around Australia including 4ZZZ, 2SER, Triple R, Three D and SYN Media.

01 Thurman is the Magandjin indie rock project of Josh Bartlett. The band emerged with a steady output of home-recorded demo tapes, quickly developing a cult following with a sprawling lo-fi sound that delves into dissonant post-punk as much as it does noise pop. Their reputation is built upon their recordings as much as it is their whirlwind live act - 01 Thurman Band perform on a knife’s edge, a wall of chaos and catharsis that’s hard to predict. An alluring live presence that’s landed them on lineups with both local and interstate heavyweights, it’s not always pretty - but that makes it beautiful.

Pretty in Pink - album launch for 'Delicates'.

Naarm / Melbourne’s Pretty In Pink releases ‘Delicates’, a collection of tender, guitar-driven songs exploring love, loss, motherhood, and transformation.

Blending lo fi-pop melodies, post-punk minimalism, and indie DIY spirit, the album delivers a set of short, sharp, and emotionally resonant songs that recall the best of 1980s indie and guitar pop. Evoking comparisons to the jangling sounds of early Flying Nun and the melodicism of bands such as Black Tambourine, ‘Delicates’ offers a listening experience both nostalgic and new.

Sylvia - Shy pop songs done loud / Melbourne shoe gaze meets post punk at its finest.

Terrible Muriel - the loud and proud queer, feminist, post-punk love child of Naarm-based musicians Cinta (drums, lead vocals), Emmy (bass) and Kate (guitar). Inspired by riot grrrl icons Sleater-Kinney and women-led bands like The Breeders and Veruca Salt, Terrible Muriel’s all-original gigs are selling out venues, as loyal crowds devour the band’s juicy harmonies and catchy melodic hooks.

ALIBII - Gadigal/Eora based indie rock duo ALIBII has officially announced their debut East Coast
Tour in celebration of their upcoming single, cant find a park. Building upon the success of
previous releases I think my body hates me and like a dream, the new track delivers an
emotional, anthemic sound powered by driving percussion, wall of sound guitars, and
signature harmonies centred around themes of separation and exclusion.

The tour marks a significant milestone for the band, following years of selective regional
appearances and notable accomplishments, including sold out headline shows, national
airplay on Triple J, and high energy pre show performances outside Accor Stadium for
major international tours like Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Billie Eilish.

This announcement also highlights the come back after losing four years' worth of
performance equipment to a robbery early last year, a swift, community led campaign by
Interstate listeners and the Sydney music scene fully restoring their gear and ensuring
uninterrupted live momentum.

ALIBII will bring their dynamic live set to audiences across Brisbane, Gold Coast,
Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle, Central Coast, Wollongong, and a landmark hometown
show in Sydney.
