Phat Loops

---

SteezE

SteezE is a hip hop MC residing in Niplaluna/Hobart. Coming off of his debut EP launch ‘Please Stand Bye’ in 2021 and his album ‘Ostracon’ with DJ Mike in 2022, SteezE has written a diverse range of songs about love, fear, community and capitalism. He aims to bring thought provoking poetry to his audience while also embracing his own unique style of improv to involve the crowd.

Mr Gochi

Mr Gochi, fueled by prescription medication and a lust for curly wurlies has come out of his hovel purely to entertain you. When is enough, enough? He assumed giving you his EP “Ascent of a Madman” (available on most streaming services) would satisfy but alas, the higher ups have called upon his completely improvised live show once more. Be excited, be very excited.

Soon to be Hobart run-aways It Thing join their friends All The Weathers and Liquid Nails for a night of splintering punk!

This back-to-back attack of local, and most importantly- loud live bands will take place on the land of the palawa people.

It Thing

It Thing is not a girl band from lutruwita / naarm. IT THING boasts a fist-hit setlist full of badinage (come and find out what that means!) I.T Thing has been likened to Hagen and English Punk Band from the 70s or 80s or something.

---

All The Weathers

All The Weathers have graced Hobart and beyond (if there is any such thing) for years, forming a deadly repertoire of songs each crazier than the last. Not shy of instrument hopping, swapping and hip hopping, ATW will surely rattle your brain with their diverse sound.

---

Liquid Nails

Local home grown punk. No compromises, don’t accept substitutes.

It’s that time of year again, where people go to families, we argue about gender to Aunt Mavis, and giggle at grinder as little Timmy opens his presents. Us queers have a strange relationship with xmas, and this cabaret is where we can come to find solace, cry melancholy, and scream at the capitalistic holiday that makes us think of Mary pushing Jesus out into the world.

We have a bunch of your old favourite talents, and a few new presents to stick in your stockings. Don’t forget to bring a plate.

QT Cabaret is a place for Transgender and Gender queer people to trial cabaret acts, or just let off some steam on stage. It is a space to meet other people, and to watch the amazingly talented community of Hobart.
