Waiting for Brenda, Eugene & the Egg and the Emmavilles

Step back into history. Wake up to the Now.

Eugene and the Egg first unleashed their psych post-punk on bewildered crowds in 1983 and 1984. After a 30-year hibernation, they cracked open in the new millennium, sensing their moment had arrived. So far, it's been sweet.

Catch the Egg’s psych post-punk travelling salvation show at Banshees for a towering night of sound and spectacle, joined by local slow-burning alt-country legends The Emmavilles, plus the gritty, storytelling, joy-charged hoedown energy of Waiting for Brenda.

Yee-hah. Expect communion. Expect chaos. Things are gonna get weird.

• First up: Formed in 2019, The Emmavilles are an alt-country rock band from Tulmur/Ipswich, Australia. Blending sentimental storytelling with slow-burning guitar driven tones, their songs recall subjects closest to their hearts; childhood memories, family dysfunction, dystopian dreamings, and observations of middle age life in a modern age.

• Followed by: Eugene and the Egg don’t just play music – they crack it open, fry it up, and throw the pan against the wall. Their sound? Part garage. Part post-punk. Black metal attends a séance in the backcountry. Psychedelic late-night fever dreams. On stage, they're unpredictable – from whisper to storm surge. Expect howls. You won’t sit still. They’re not here to soothe. They’re here to shake loose the parts of yourself you pretend not to hear.
• And the closer: Waiting for Brenda is a Brisbane alt-country band blending storytelling, grit, and heartfelt melodies with humour, empathy, and a live energy that sparks joy and connection. Tunes that will make you tap your feet or break your heart….
