Only 5 Dollarydoos for Trainspotters’ Killer Lineup

Trainspotters smaller

Need a refreshing new music night to satisfy your Brisbane live music cravings? Then get yourself to Trainspotters the weekend as four rising local bands are keen to give you one helluva night!

The dreamy yet grunge-pop sounds of Cheers G’day are making 2016 their breakthrough year. Their latest track Dream Girl, released late last year, solidified themselves and their sound as a band. The track demonstrates everything they’ve been working towards and showcases exactly what these four are about, relaxing but having a damn good time doing it! With lead vocalist Irina Strauss’s soothing vocals against a backdrop of chimey guitar riffs and a soft yet steady drumming, you’re always left wanting more from this loveable quartet.

Girl power punk band Voiid describe themselves as “four girls shouting profanity and annoying the heck out the neighbours” (in this case, they’re pretty damn lucky neighbours!). Their latest track sees the 4-piece sing about goon in Cheap Wine, a VERY relatable narrative! Anji Greenwood kills with her Runaways-esque lead vocals, fuelled by the tangy, quick guitar strums of Kate McGuire, and enthralling smashing of drums by Jasmine Cannon.

Inspired by the likes of Pink Mouse and Blend 42 From Outta Space is one-lady spectacular Scraps a.k.a. Laura Hill. Clouded in a deep haze of mystery, her sound is a hard to narrow down yet is utterly hypnotising and playful in its unique way with haunting synth-pop backdrops and plenty of jive. Her debut album ‘TNNIK’ (pronounced Titanic), released just a few weeks ago, features seven bizarrely intoxicating tracks showcasing the progression of Scraps’ sound and her intense flow.

Last but not least, with a sound that quenches your thirst is the one and only O.J. Mengel. This 4-piece aren’t afraid to be themselves as they showcase their own quirky talents onstage. Releasing their debut EP ‘You Do You’ in 2015, the band has come far with their infections blend of gospel melodies and pop culture. Their music video for Kathmandu is covered in a vapour-wave of bright colours that brings their vibrant tunes of guitar strums and easy-going drum beats to life.

To see these amazing artists and support Brisbane’s local scene all you need is five whole dollarydooos to present at the door on Saturday, 13th of August!
