This week Suzi, Eaglemont and My Giddy Aunt are stopping by for a show.

Melbourne via Mornington Peninsula storyteller Suzi spins aching vulnerability into indie rock gold. In her first studio EP I Hope You Can Hear Me Now Suzi reclaims her voice and affirms her turn from folk singer to a commanding band leader, her poignant and evocative lyrics now underpinned by dazzling riffs and sharp rhythm sections. Spending her youth playing shows to small rooms on the Peninsula, Suzi found a home online, posting TikTok videos to what is now almost 30,000 followers, and creating what would become her self-recorded first EP I Like It Better Indoors. Recorded in her bedroom mid-pandemic the earnestness of this first EP shone through to audiences, a melodic tug of the heartstrings heard across the country.

Eaglemont, the jangle rock project of Melbourne’s Bridg Jessop, is on the precipice of something huge. After launching the project in 2018, Eaglemont has quickly made a name for herself in the Australian music scene, demonstrating an impressive ability to combine clever wit and genuine heart within her lyrics, encased within a perfectly cool, distortion-heavy sound. In 2019 Eaglemont released Heteronormative Nightmare, a thoughtful and vulnerable track wrapped up in her signature high-energy, jangly vibe. The song is a bit of a red herring – while embracing a tongue-in-cheek approach, Eaglemont’s idiosyncratic vocal delivery hints at the raw nature of the song’s theme; having a sudden understanding of your sexuality as a teenager. Eaglemont has spent the last year in the studio, putting the final touches on her debut album Party Boy, released in 2024. Produced by Jonathon Tooke (Cry Club) and mixed by Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy), this album is a massive step forward for the project on all fronts. Eaglemont lays themselves bare across all twelve tracks on Party Boy. Every emotion is wrung out and explored in great detail; tiny, everyday moments shared within relationships or experienced completely alone are pulled apart throughout the record, demonstrating incredible growth and development from Eaglemont, an artist who already had a particularly incisive streak. Having supported the likes of Ceres, Bec Sandridge, Alex Lahey and Luca Brasi on tour around the country, Eaglemont’s live show is a perfect opportunity to see these songs take flight. With the upcoming release of Party Boy, Eaglemont will take to the stage once again, endearing audiences with her honesty and irresistible charm. 

‘Oh my giddy aunt!’ is defined in Collins Dictionary as ‘an exclamation of surprise,’ and there is truly no band better embodying that spirit than Naarm’s My Giddy Aunt. The all-queer & neurodivergent indie rock trio have earned a reputation for their colourful and diverse musical palette, underpinned by memorable songwriting with plenty of heart, passion and more than a touch of whimsy. Inclusion and self-expression are at the core of My Giddy Aunt’s ethos and critters of all stripes will feel welcome at their high-energy live shows.
