Chase The Sun
Lively in Newcastle
Event Description
With special guests Necko and Statik
Sydney’s kings of epic blues-rock shred Chase The Sun have become somewhat of a cult band of late, with their powerhouse live show becoming harder and harder to find in recent years - the boys in the band opting to become spectators in the race for fame and fortune.
Guitarist Jan Rynsaardt is recognised by aficionados as one of Australia’s best, and the band combine elements of acoustic blues, stoner rock Psychedelia and Stevie Ray Vaughn boogie into a sound that quickly established them as crowd and critic favourites at festivals all over the country when they hit the scene back in 2007.
2024 sees Chase The Sun back in the hot seat, with a national tour and new music on the horizon - this is a show not to be missed by lovers of loud guitar blues, blazing hard funk played with a cranking 70’s southern rock feel.

Necko
Sydneysiders Necko deliver a rush of nostalgia: dynamic classic rock that combines pulsating grooves, wailing choruses and elaborate instrumental breakdowns reminiscent of British blues-rock linchpins circa late ‘60s to early ‘70s.
Selling out shows in their hometown set the group up for their debut release: Page-esque riffed ‘Wicked Woman’, which arrived in 2023. Starkly contrasted numbers ‘You Don’t Gotta Be Alone Anymore’ and ‘Animal’ followed shortly thereafter, displaying a diversification in retro-rock themes to tease their eponymous debut EP, which was mixed by Grammy-winning producer Al Sutton [Greta Van Fleet - From the Fires].
