Overview

Jono Ma is world famous amongst Sydney electronic circles. He took over main man duties from Kirin J Callinan in the inventive Los Valentinos, met his musical equal in Callinan and went on to form tribal-theatre indie super-group Fashion Launches Rocket Launches, and mixed the highly-anticipated upcoming debut from Brisbane's Mitzi. Some even say the illustrious Foals have Ma to thank for introducing them to the wonderful world of synths. "Some" being Foals themselves.

And as of last week his new outfit Jagwar Ma sits alongside Flume's and Mitzi's as the latest signing to Future Classic. Jagwar Ma is probably one of those mash-up names like KimYe and TomKat except way better because it makes you think of jungly house music and powerful oversized felines. Ma's collaborator is Gabriel Winterfield, who's earned his own laurels as vocalist and guitarist for alternative-indie band Ghostwood.

Tonight marks Jagwar Ma's first-ever Australian show, where they'll be joined by Albatross, Splash (UK) and Angelo Cruzman, the last two in DJ mode.
