It’s an all-star, maximum good-time line-up for famously friendly emo-rock lads CERES as they warm down to head into the studio. Joining them on their ‘goodbye for a while’ hometown show are hetero lifemates THE PRETTY LITTLES, SLOWLY SLOWLY and the incredibly-named MAX QUINN’S ONOMATOPENIS.

The Pretty Littles are a kick-ass Melbourne garage rock band, and if you  haven’t partied with them yet you’re doing it wrong. They spent 2015 doing cool things like releasing a new EP, playing live at BIGSOUND, Sporting videos like this one for memorable ditty ‘Man Baby‘, you know these cheeky dudes mean a good time all the time.

Meanwhile, you might remember Slowly Slowly from Ceres’ recent riotous Christmas show. These local upstarts did such a bang up job they’ve been invited for round two. They’ll serve up some hooky 90’s inspired alt-rock tunes.

Who names their band Onomatopenis? Sydney’s Max Quinn does, and we’re so glad that he did.Max Quinn’s Onomatopenis will open proceedings with a set of oddly feel-good observant pop tunes. Warm and fuzzies packed with melody. Whothehell.net called him ‘refreshingly earnest’. Nice.
