Coconut Shy w/Day One and Materia @ Nighthawks Bar

Day One: Based in Melbourne, formed by members from different generations which brings a unique blend of sound - from jangly indie to distortion-filled hard rock. Imagine a TV show that appeals to all audiences - Day One is that, but in the music world.

Materia: Materia has rejected modernity but overshot tomorrow, unwittingly exchanging their guitars for lutes. Glam metal vocal tones unleash soaring melodies descending on a bed of 70s inspired rock. Syncopated riffs belted from mandolins and violins alike are framed by thunderous beats evoking echoes of hardcore drumming. Unorthodox and unapologetic, Materia heralds the end of the age of guitar.

Coconut Shy: Once the indie/folk alt-rock solo music project of singer/songwriter Joseph Mackey, Coconut Shy came to life in 2025 with its evolution into a full-fledged fourpiece. Inspired by the likes of early Coldplay, Dire Straits, Spacey Jane and Mumford & Sons, their music is filled with a creative blend of soft and heavy indie-folk rock, introspective lyrics and a bunch of damn catchy choruses. Its music for a singalong around a campfire, a road-trip to the beach or an afternoon spent indoors on a rainy day. But then again, it’s music that fits in between those things with a couple of the tunes certainly drift off to the edge of that musical ballpark. Give us a whirl and you’ll see what we mean.
