The Murlocs

Overview

Your Good Friday eve plans are sorted, with The Murlocs bringing their unique brand of swing rock to Black Bear, armed with pals Babe Rainbow and Junkyard Diamonds.

The five-piece from Geelong are making the trek as part of their Loopholes tour, the latest instalment in their impressive-yet-newly-born career, which has seen them play alongside indie favourites The Oh Sees and Graveyard train. Raucous and demented, loud and unwavering, yet classic in construction, the tunes by The Murlocs will have you swaying before you even realise. Theirs is sure to be a set of wailing guitars meets Bob Dylan-esque verses of howling harmonica and stomp beats; if you are yet to hear their talents, you are sure to be more than pleasantly surprised.

On support, the experimental Babe Rainbow joins forces with the grunge of alternative band Junkyard Diamonds, creating an evening of colliding forces to excite the eardrums and invigorate the goosebumps.
