Captivating songs, endearing tunes and thoughtful, honest lyric writing.

HUSKY

Husky deliver up serious indie-pop with a folk inspired twist. Since winning Triple J Unearthed the band have garnered fans around the country with their carefully crafted songs, full of warm, lush sounds, rolling rhythms and artful lyrics.   

'Forever So is breathtaking in its ambition, a shimmering fog of kaleidoscopic story-telling, each song a Nick Drake-esque fairytale delivered with full indie-orchestration' - Rolling Stone, November Issue

THE TROUBLE WITH TEMPLETON

The Trouble with Templeton, led by talented young singer-songwriter Thomas Calder, create gorgeous alternative folk influenced sounds. Their songs command attention, with passionate lyrics, exquisite soaring melodies and sensitive harmonies.

CAITLIN PARK

Caitlin Park's unique electro-acoustic sound combines found sound sampling with gorgeously warming and elegant composition.  Caitlin creates her intricate and beguiling songs using old films, audio books, spoken word and musical stylings that have much in common with The Penguin Caf Orchestra and CocoRosie.

'Adding my name to the growing list of fans around here to Caitlin's joyous and smart writing. Her album is worth tracking down and investigating in full' - Richard Kingsmill, Triple J

ABOUT THE GARDEN PARTY

This summer, a vacant lot in Southbank becomes your backyard - that is, if your backyard is home to some of the biggest names in Australian and international indie, electro and soul music. Astroturf and street art, deckchairs and DJs, flowers and funk. This is the place to spend warm summer evenings.

The Garden Party is the outdoor music festival with a difference. Join us in the Garden for drinks, great food and the simple pleasure of hearing and seeing your great acts on stage. It happens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 25 January to 17 February.

Where is The Garden Party?  On Sturt Street, right next to Melbourne Recital Centre.

This is an all ages event, however those aged under 18 must be accompanied by a person aged over 18.
