Blues-fueled rock ’n’ roll
The Southern River Band’s signature blend of blues and rock never disappoints. This Australian four-piece single-handedly drags the genre out of the coffin and squeezes it into a glittering spandex skinny jeans. Hailing from Thornlie (Where? Exactly.), the band spent 2019 on a relentless tour across Australia, bringing their Mega Rock Party to every place with a stage and a PA system.
Since then, they’ve continued to impress with a string of albums, each receiving glowing praise from both fans and critics. And now, this October, the release of their new album Easier Set Than Done is on the horizon.

Historian poses an intriguing question: what if Jack White had lived in 1940?
Led by historian Joris Boerma, the band blends smoldering swing, raw blues, and classic Hollywood influences with the brute force of a fuzz-rock trio. With authentic attire, vintage gear, and a distinctive sound, music history comes alive. Historian is anything but dusty nostalgia — it’s an energetic clash of past and present that grinds, swings, and surprises.
