Smarmy Bastards landed their energy to Roches Hotel and almost lifted the roof, the Smarmy Army where lit. 🔥
They arrived, they danced and they owned the room.

But can we also take a moment to talk about the incredible support acts?

I had a genuinely life-changing moment watching
The Black Cows perform, please accept me as an official fangirl for life.
Poser, what a treat! I’m really hoping to catch you both again at ASA Clarence Valley Wax Lyrical and the Youth Battle of the Bands at Tanamon Gallery.
MelTez Trio were sensational as always — especially seeing Mel on stage. She brings something so special to the music that is impossible not to feel and she looked smoking hot.

Photos will be added so keep checking back...

The ladies from Bacon St Blues always bring those beautiful earthy, soulful vibes wherever they play. 🎶✨ As part of Yamba Jamba at Yamba Cinema, they once again brought their warm sound, easy chemistry and unmistakable style to the stage.

A firm favourite for good reason, Bacon St Blues continue to charm audiences with their grounded sound, beautiful musicianship and the kind of performance that simply feels good to listen to

A little jazz, a little soul, and a whole lot of Faeya .

Continuing at the Jamba Yamba Music Festival at Yamba Cinema, the mood always shifts into something a little more sultry when Faeya takes the stage. 🎷✨

With warmth, confidence and just the right amount of smoky glamour, Faeya delivered a beautiful performance. She has that rare ability to take a familiar song, reshape it through her own style, and make it feel entirely hers.

Under the full moon, as a part of Jama Yamba Music Festival, Yamba Cinemas played host to a beautiful evening celebrating the release of Pam Hata’s new single, Fields of Fire.
The night brought together music, film and local creativity, with stunning cinematography by The Shack providing a striking visual backdrop and showcasing the beauty and atmosphere of the region.

Setting the tone for the evening, Faeya opened with her captivating voice and presence, followed by the earthy, soulful sounds of Bacon St Blues, who brought the room to life and created the perfect vibe leading into Pams performance with the Skinner St band and the celebration of Fields of Fire.
