These Automatic Changers, Young Lyre & The Dirty Sweets

In the current haze of post recessional blues, worsening economic calamity and the ever increasing cost of capsicums from your local produce outlet, there is only one guiding light in a world gone mad people. That warm hum of a tube, that special feeling in your hips that can only come from one thing... rock'n'roll!

Brothers and sisters, we are gathered in the rehearsal rooms, the clubs and bars, and on the road and stage to send a message out to everyone. It says, do not forget your faith, do not forget your beliefs. There is still only one true religion. It will not harm you, it will not let you down, and it will raise you up in a righteous racket of electricity, wicked feedback and unholy power only to "lick your funky emotions..."

The time has come again to gather!

Southern Music Collective presents live in concert These Automatic Changers, Young Lyre & the Dirty Sweets.

- These Automatic Changers
The high-intensity charge of classic sonic blues, leaden rock’n’roll, spooked by an altogether more archaic blend of '70s soul. Stripping things down to the primal oil, raising a righteous racket that's an inspired mix of electrified Delta blues, Zeppelin riffage, and '70s soul with hooks, the band continues to build its following on the tour circuit and re-ignite the cause for rock n roll.

- Young Lyre
You know that band that you love to dance to? You know the one... the one where you get off your seat no matter what mood you find yourself in, or who you find yourself around? Young Lyre is the New Zealand supply of that very same sonic goodness. These Auckland lads make the sound a dance move would make if it had lungs and a smoke machine.

- The Dirty Sweets
50% metal, 50% grunge, 150% wicked as shit - The Dirty Sweets' bogan tendencies are in full effect on storming new rocker ‘Monster Boogie’. Recorded under the watchful eye of award-winning uber-producer and engineer extraordinaire Andrew Buckton, this latest effort is a brutal assault on the senses that’s guaranteed to kick your ass...

You lucky buggers...
