After selling out the venue for their album launch last year, local crew Brother James are heading back to The Workers Club to pack it out again alongside band buddies The Mary Goldsmiths, The Fire Alive and DJ Bradbeer on Friday the 3rd Of July.
Having toured through nationally including regional shows with mates Kingswood and festival slots at Kennedy’s Creek, Arockalypse, Hut Jam and Birregurra Arts Festival the five piece is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the country’s most exciting upcoming acts.
Featuring members of local bands The Vasco Era, The Exploders, Rat & Co, Second Hearst and I Know The Chief, the collective of talented musos create a stunning hybrid of warm bluesy rock with an indie sensibility.
To celebrate their upcoming show which is a part of Leaps and Bounds Festival, the guys have curated a stunning mix to get you through the impending chilly winder days. Check it out below and for more info on the show visit the Brother James Facebook page.
#1 Dads (featuring Tom Snowdon) – ‘Return To’
Stoke up an open fire, get some red wine (or a hot toddy, whatever floats your boat), lay back on some luxurious carpet and let the Toms fill you with warmth with this absolute heartbreaker of a song.
The Merrymen – ‘Feeling Hot Hot Hot’
Pretty self explanatory, really.
The Beach Boys – ‘All I Wanna Do’
Listening to this song always warms the cockles of my heart deep inside like a swig of Stones around the camp fire:
The Pretty Littles – ‘Man Baby’
Jangly goodness, a gem of a duet. Best served with whiskey and some mates.
James Brown on David Letterman
Put this on, clear the loungeroom, get on up and pretty soon you won’t be feeling the winter at all!
Violent Soho – ‘Covered in Chrome’
Just thinking about how sweaty you get when seeing these legends live is enough to get rid of that pesky cold.
Document Swell – ‘Ideal Scenery Party’
Have this on repeat when you are cooking up a stew. Adds that little extra tang that makes the stew melt in your mouth.
I’lls – ‘Let Me Have Just One’
For lazy cosy times.
