You're invited to the 2nd annual Clever Scary HALLOWEEN PARTY!

The Clever References

When both Australian pop goddess Clare Bowditch and post-punkers These New South Whales think you're cool you know you're doing something right.

The Clever References has been described as a cross between They Might Be Giants and The Lucksmiths, Weezer and Tame Impala, Jimmy Eat World and The Flaming Lips…and other seemingly haphazard genre-transcending descriptions. While these comparisons might be baffling, one listen to any of their tracks should make the comparisons obvious: this band writes the best damn alternative indie rock songs in the business today.

In a pop music landscape that's increasingly turning textural and sarcastic, The Clever References are fighting back with their clear-eyed and sincere lyricism as well as musical choices that are dare we say it...clever?

Titration

Titration is a five piece Alt/Pop-Rock band hailing from Melbourne, playing music inspired by the diverse musical backgrounds of each of its members. Formed in 2021, it’s members draw from a history of playing together in high school. Now drawing influence from a wide range of genres and bands, ranging from Nothing But Thieves to the Beatles to Lime Cordiale, Titration’s sound is equally as colourful as it is familiar. Julian (lead singer), David (guitar), Benji (guitar), Dan (bass) and Gus (drums), all in their early twenties, are here to discover how much music can be played with two guitars, bass, drums and a singer. 

Love Me Not

Blooming in Melbourne, Love Me Not is a vibrant, homegrown concoction of soulful vibes, indie pop charm and a hint of jangle rock. With lush guitar riffs, intricate rhythms, and captivating vocals, their music poses a thrilling and moreish musical fusion.

Tomalia

One of Naarm’s best hidden gems and modern day pin-up doll Tomalia is filled with sass, dripping in sarcasm, and ready to entertain. Her genre bending feminist art-pop sound creates sizzling hot stories where Tomalia uses attitude and eerie comedy to sing stories of being a young woman in a modern world.
