Are you ready to don the war paint and feathers and get your booty shaking to the tribal indie rock rave of Rat Vs Possum? Tipped as one of Tone Deaf’s bands to watch at the start of 2010, they’ve gone from playing warehouse parties in a haze of acid to selling out headline gigs and quickly becoming a mainstay of the festival circuit.

We also love them for one of the best Australian lyrics ever – ‘I Think I Love You But It Might Just Be The Pills’ off Jungle Pills. In between an upcoming tour with Sleigh Bells, playing around the country with the Laneway Festival and then heading over to New Zealand to play Camp A Low Hum, they’ve managed to squeeze in a headline show for Tone Deaf at Ding Dong.

Joined Butcher Blades, this will be one hell of an aural and visual assault. With more special guests To Be Announced and the Tone Deaf DJ crew spinning block rocking beats and indie pop anthems until the wee hours, this one will be rammed. With $10 jugs until 10pm, get down early to ensure you get in!
