Swell Sessions to close out in style

SOME of Australia’s top and up-and-coming bands will hit the stage to close out Swell Sessions.

The event at the Torquay SLSC on 11 April will feature the musical talents of The Terrys, The Beefs, Holiday Mystics, Krystal Rivvers, Blondehouse and live DJs.

Attendees are invited to celebrate the Surf Coast and support the work of Torquay SLSC, with all proceeds going towards protecting the coastline for generations to come.

After a huge sellout Swell Sessions show from Bones and Jones, Surf Hat and Floodlights in February, Gerringong locals The Terrys will take the stage next month.

The Beefs, one of Australia’s most energetic pub rock bands will blend their infectious pop groove with the tongue-in-cheek Aussie spirit that ignites a crowd.

 

Their breakout tracks – Red Bellied Black Snake, Punchin and In the Blood – have amassed millions of streams.

Tasmanian four-piece Holiday Mystics has been described as “a chaotic Fleetwood Mac and a mystic Red Hot Chili Peppers”.

Alt-rock force Krystal Rivvers will blend their psych-rock and soul, while Blondehouse will get the floor stomping with their grungy punk energy.

Torquay SLSC fundraising director Jay Muir said the coastal music extravaganza would be the ultimate send-off to the warmer months.

“It’s been such a great series since opening it up and it’s gained so much traction,” he said.

“We’ve now got bands in the industry approaching us and asking to get on board, which is the place to be.

 

“It’s been a huge success in terms of numbers of people through the doors, and continues to raise significant funds for what we do here at Torquay SLSC.”

Muir said proceeds would go towards training young lifesavers, running bronze medallion courses and maintaining equipment.

If the event series continues to be a success, some much-needed upkeep to the Torquay SLSC building is next on the checklist.

“It’s the best venue on the coast,” Muir said.

“A lick of paint and some new floorboards would give it a real freshen up.”
