TUESDAY 8.00pm S I D P A T T N I and Whiskey Winter
Whisky Winter is an Australian folktronica duo formed in 2012 by Aaron Malone and Matt Bell. The first video single ‘Heavy’ was released in August 2012. Forming a deep connection personally and through the music, the duo continued as a long distance collaboration between Aaron in Perth and Matt in France. The band is currently busy writing and recording for releases in 2013 having just supported Husky on the WA leg of their Tidal Wave tour. Whisky Winter sounds like a fusion of electronic, acoustic and sub pop indie with a whisper of R&B." Sid Pattni is a relative newcomer to the field of hip-hop production but has quickly made a name for himself creating some big waves both nationally and internationally. He has received international radio airplay, been a feature artist on countless publications and most recently come runner-up in Western Australia’s annual beatdown competition, which showcases the some of the best producers the state has to offer.

THURSDAY 8.00pm Celebrate Valentines Day with Blanche DuBois
With their most recent record titled Young Heart (2012) and an EP titled Love Only Hurts (2006), it seems only appropriate that songbird sisters Nadija and Adriana Begovich, aka Blanche DuBois, take to the stage this Valentines Day to serenade you with their songs of love, loss and life. As one of the most tragic female characters in literary history, Tennessee Williams' Blanche DuBois herself was a mix of contrasts - so, in true Blanche DuBois fashion, you can expect some corny covers and love-song dedications thrown into the mix alongside their usual sweet acoustic pop. And, please note, all are welcome! It doesn't matter whether you're happy in love or desperate and dateless… Blanche DuBois don't discriminate. Click here for tickets
