Rivermouth 
Rivermouth combines elements of hip-hop, folk, funk, jazz and spoken word. Our vocalist is a cross between a typewriter and a megaphone. Our keyboardist is a classically trained virtuoso mad scientist. Our bassist plays in the Richter scale. And our drummer's great-grandfather was a metronome. Rivermouth explores the intersections of poetry and music. We deal in urban mythology, dissident philosophy, and dope beats, sharing stories of a subtropical metropolis peppered with musings on activism, xenophobia and our city's buried past. Jumping Fences 
Jumping Fences’ songs traverse working lives, migration and exile, and everyday hopes and joys. Their long association with Latin American music resonates deeply in their own compositions. They toured to Cuba in 2017 and 2018, and nationally they have performed at numerous festivals and venues in South-East Queensland and Victoria. They have composed songs for choirs and conducted workplace songwriting and performance projects in association with the Qld Council of Unions. They have released five recordings, most recently ‘Satellites’. You can listen to a selection of songs on Spotify, Youtube or Apple Music. [website] |
