Friends, it’s been 3 years since Slag Queens released new music. They’ve been sitting on a new album called ‘Favours’ for a while now and it’s time you started to hear it.

Slag Queens are dropping a new track called ‘Dogs’ with a film clip shot by Jo Shrimpton (Flare Productions). To celebrate (and to wish Amber all the best on her 3 month stint in Naarm/Melbourne) Slag Queens will be playing at The Founders Room, Salamanca Arts Centre with good friends 𝔈ℭ𝔅 and Free Live Sports.

Slag Queens
Originally inspired by DIY no wave music and the feminist politics of Riot Grrl, Slag Queens learnt how to be a band by doing it. They like to write songs collaboratively and are wild for noisey, grainy sounds and sad-beautiful guitars. Their songs express the frustration of life under late capitalism and are a consciousness raising effort to get you mentally strong for the revolution (however that comes). 

𝔈ℭ𝔅

Free Live Sports
Tasmanian-via-mainland three-piece Free Lives Sports started out as an excuse to mess around and try new things.
The result is a band constantly playing on the edge of its ability; pushing to make music that is catchier, hookier, darker, more difficult. Free Live Sports never let sounding a bit shit get in the way of a good tune, comparisons to bands like Dead Moon, Captain Beefheart and Guided by Voices are warranted, though their love of a pub-rock karaoke classic keeps it from getting all too experimental.
