Rutherford Jazz Trio, Squibs and LanGwij

Rutherford Jazz Trio is a defiant band, in many senses. The fierce 5-piece Meanjin funk lineup jollily deposits electrifying riffs and rhythms upon unsuspecting audiences, living beyond not only its nomenclature, but genre boundaries as well.

Expect to dance to weird rhythms while feeling like you're in the Mario Kart character select screen in this grand return of Squibs!

LanGwij are an emerging teen band from Ipswich/Tulmur made up of Aboriginal, Samoan, and Māori brothers and cousins who have grown up surrounded by music, culture and strong family traditions. Blending funk, hip hop, soul and rock, their sound combines outstanding songwriting with strong vocal harmonies and energetic live performances.
