No greater way to finish off July than with some sick music in the Gong.  

Pineal is a local group based in Wollongong/Dharawal country bringing smooth, soulful tunes and a strong jazz-funk influence to get you dancing and feeling the music. With a mix of covers and originals they create a nurturing old-soul atmosphere in their performance, evoking both nostalgia and a cultivated, individualistic sound that is unique and faithful to the groups musical direction. 

Benchwarmers are an alternative-rock band based in Wollongong/Dharrawal Country, Australia. The band merges deeply personal, ‘confessional’ lyricism with instrumentals that pay homage to slacker rock, emo, folk music and bedroom pop to create a sound that’s nostalgic, modern, energetic, soothing, comedic and tragic all at the same time.

NoXRage is stepping up from Nowra with a genre-bending, high-energy, crowd-hyping set that's locked and loaded. Think punk, grunge, metal and more-blasted at full tilt with zero holding back. With covers and originals that hit across styles, these guys don't just play to you-they're in it with you.
