For all you lucky punters heading up to Byron this weekend for Splendour (note that I am NOT one of you), here’s one more reason I am insanely jealous:

Holly Throsby, The Middle East and Leader Cheetah are performing together in a one off all-ages Spunk label showcase at 6pm this Friday (July 24) at the Byron Bay Community Centre. Perfect for a first beer after the loooooong drive to Belongil Fields.

Here’s the lowdown on each artist:

Holly Throsby has just returned from Canada and the US where she performed at the NXNE festival in Toronto. A Loud Call has also just been released in the UK, where Mojo Magazine gave the album 4 Stars and said “A Loud Call should prove to be Throsby’s breakthrough release“.

The Middle East have been taking a few weeks off before heading on the road as the main supporting for UK act Doves on their national tour. Released earlier this year, their debut EP Recordings Of The Middle East reached #42 on the Australian charts and #8 on iTunes Australia.

Leader Cheetah have just completed their album tour for their Triple J Album of The Week debut The Sunspot Letters which was described by the Courier Mail as “the best Australian debut since Augie March’s Sunset Studies“.
