The Nymphs bring a fresh take to vocal jazz groups at The Empress. From their bio:

“The Nymphs take a step back to the 1940s, echoing the sass and class of the Andrews Sisters. With a mix of old covers and originals, cheeky banter and a fine display of frills, they offer a performance which is part comedy, part nostalgia, and a whole lot of Nymph.”

Cost: FREE, maybe $5 apparently…

A night with something for every weirdo; the experimental noise-hop of Caught Ship, the scuzz-bucket punk of Red Terror and the fragmentary electronics of ITA. For The Roster however, Whyte Lightning are the pick of the bunch, as they draw strange and skewed pop from textured soundscapes.

One of Melbourne’s most raucous three-pieces, Beat Disease play demented, bluesy punk that puts most of those pointy-shoed Nick Cave wannabes to shame. They are supported by Bone, who The Roster doesn’t know and can’t find on the internet.

Doves and their accomplished, morose/uplifting songs are better than you probably think. But they’ll be back every couple of years anyway, for yet another Splendour appearance. So maybe catch them up there if the lineup ever gets any better.

If Doomsday Fest doesn’t create a portal to hell there the night before, the Northcote Social Club will be playing host to the hushed folk of Khristian Mizzi And The Sirens for a matinee show. Dude is Winner of Best Songwriter 2006 and Best Guitarist 2006 at the Basin Music Festival and Port Fairy Folk Festival respectively so I guess he’s pretty good. Supported by RPG Radio and Shelley Segal who specialise in soul/roots rock and plucked guitar folk respectively.

Poor People are an indie twang outfit prone to prowling and occasionally lilting. The Roster loves the casual drawl of the guitars and the vox and recommends catching them before they release their album and get snatched up by triple j listeners.

They are supported by the mysterious / \. An enigma, an unsearchable and unpronouncable name, a typo. Get down to The Old Bar and find out.

The very talented Gareth Eunson and his Graveyard Sons play more of the alt-blues that Melbourne loves. The harmonies are big, the band is kick ass and the songs swing from wild to weary. Downhills Home are in a similar vein while The Nymphs are swinging, 1940’s throwback, accapella group.
