Doom Mountain

Overview

If the Brisbane music scene proved one thing last year, it's that there's a grunge revival in the works — throwing a bit of surfer-rock gnarl for good measure. No band epitomises this more than our own local offspring, Doom Mountain. Jack, Jake and Lee make up a band that emits salty surf vibes, with offshoots of garage rock. Together, with White Lodge, they'll be kicking up a grunge-fuelled storm at Black Bear Lodge with a free gig this Friday night.

2015 is sure to be the year for Doom Mountain. They've already received claps from triple j’s Dom Alession, Maggie Collins and Sarah Howells. In 2014, they supported the likes of Step-Panther, Moses Gun Collective, The Good Sports and Pretty City — but this gig finally puts Doom Mountain as a deserving headliner.

In support, White Lodge offer a similar sound to their stage counterparts, and are no stranger to Black Bear Lodge. They're awaiting the release of their recently recorded international split 7" with The Gorlons (USA), and aren't afraid to share their unique brand of psych, surf-centre rock.

For all those sober Sallys out there, this could prove to be the highest entertainment return for little investment — again, tickets cost zilch dollars. And for all your drinkers out there, justify a few extra beers with ticket prices, and make this a night to remember.
