Bernadette Novembre

Hyped to be the next big thing in Indie Rock, Bernadette and her band are back at Cherry Bar but this time previewing her forthcoming debut Album with all new original tunes!

Bernadette’s new music can be described as a mix of late 1960’s Rock: The Doors, George Harrison, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, David Bowie with Brit Rock/Alternative Rock: Arctic Monkeys, The Last Shadow Puppets, The Vaccines, Babyshambles, Queens of The Stone Age, Franz Ferdinand, Muse, Oasis, Nick Cave and Chrissie Hynde. Her new music has been described as ‘Avant-Indie Alt Rock on the dreamscape’. The songwriting pedigree is evident throughout her new music with co-songwriter and Producer Joshua Moriarty (of bands Miami Horror, TELENOVA and All The Colours) on board.

Highlights of her career thus far include playing support to band members of The Rolling Stones and being part of the headline at Festivals such as the St Kilda Festival. One of Bernadette’s new songs made it to the Top 30 of the Australian Songwriters Association Songwriting Contest in 2020.

Bernadette’s band is made up of well-known Melbourne musicians Jason Lambrou (Keys), Adyn Young (Guitar), Lawson Kennard (Bass) and Conor Anderson-Vague (Drums). Bernadette has been selling shows out across Australia with her new sound – so this is not to be missed

Naked Face

Melbourne based band Naked Face, who’ve refused to be pigeonholed or genre stereotyped, burst into the scene in the midst of a global pandemic, showing that they have created their own sound, where each song tells a story in a style of its own.

They are a three-piece band spawned deep within the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, composed of Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Steve ‘Slik’, Drummer Nathan ‘Stone’ and Guitarist/Vocalist Eddy ‘Seagoon’.

Back in 2017, Steve Slik met Nathan Stone in a band he had auditioned for, and their love and passion for music united the two to form a band of their own. In 2019 whilst seeking a guitarist, the band came across UK-born Eddy Seagoon who had recently moved from Sydney. After auditioning Ed, his unique vocal tone and playing style immediately cemented him into Naked Face.

In August of 2020, Naked Face released their debut single ‘Beach Punk’ during the height of COVID-19, instantly creating a global cult following of fans around the world, sending the song up to #1 on Triple J’s unearthed Punk, Rock, and Indie charts for over two consecutive weeks.

The Naked Face sound is a cauldron of Pop/Rock/Punk melodically driven high energy music. They live fast and play loud, with toe-tapping songs about separation, social alienation, self-doubt, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional, isolation, with a desire for freedom, and is catchy as hell!

China Beach

China Beach are a wild 8 piece disco funk outfit out of Melbourne. They play wild freaky music about Love taking us higher, dancing at home on the weekend and life’s party, right outside your door. Catch them at one of their regular gigs.
