The Cactus Channel have been cooling down since releasing their second collection of instrumental fire starters, but as winter arrives its time to rub some hands together and demist the windscreen before heading back into the dankest shed in Melbourne to begin the writing of their next release. They are hitting up one of their favourite spots north of the border - Canberra, supported by buddies The Brass Knuckle Brass Band.

The Cactus Channel are consistently turning heads and shifting opinions about what it is to be an instrumental 10 piece band in the era of laptop producers and Kanye. No doubt they will continue to do so with their next release. It promises to be big (huge), don't oversleep.
