Doors 8PM

Their 2009 EP Old Maps/New Music, produced by Steve Schram [Little Birdy, The Cat Empire, Eagle And The Worm] promised great things and then they went quiet.

Tone Deaf “Deaf Sessions” are wrapt to be the ones bringing them back to the stage in a delirious live-recorded event. The Good China return in an anticipated show at Cherry Bar supported by growling dirt-rockers The Harlots and Cherry virgins, bright-eyed indie champs Attck.

Taking us back, Black Cab’s sound resonate late 60’s, early 70’s German dance music. With the success of their 2009 album ‘Call Signs’ released through Sydney Label Outlaw, Black Cab were nominated for an Australian Music Prize.

Having heavily toured central Europe, Black Cab is renowned for their distinct East Berlin beats. Whilst currently working in the studio on their fourth album set to be released later in the year, to keep our dance moves in check they have released the EP, ‘Combat Boots’.

Supporting Black Cab will be Melbourne space cadets, The Ovals. Bringing back their version of psychedelic Krautrock, The Ovals are sure to create something as visual stimulating as the last meteor shower you saw!

So swap your ‘No’ for ‘Nine’ and your ‘Yeah’ for…well ‘Yahh’ and make it to Cherry Bar to check out these incredibly good bands.

Doors 8.00pm

Doors at 8pm

Supporting will be local bands Until Further Notice and Screenings, whose post-punk jams are sure to get the always lively Cherry Bar crowd warmed up and ready for the main attraction. If you’re lucky enough to leave with all five senses in tact, then it will no doubt be a night to remember.

Doors at 8pm

In May, Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince watched Teenage Mothers’ homemade video on Youtube. Three months after playing their first gig, Teenage Mothers were invited to tour Australia with The Kills. JK gave free nitrous oxide to the crowds and did full backflips off nine foot barriers.

The debut single is ‘Orlando and Miranda’. It’s about beautiful untalented people living in luxury, while ordinary-looking people become junkies and homeless bums.

On Saturday 17th September, Teenage Mothers headline the Cherry Bar. Special guests are metalhead weirdos The Beasticles, haunting post-punkers Jackals and searing UK/NZ duo Ghetto Ghetto. Plus Australia’s gnarliest and nuttiest skate crew, POON, DJing everything from gay techno to Jimmy Buffett.
