Fool NelsonFool Nelson are a three-piece indie rock trio comprised of two brothers and their best mate. Hailing from Boorloo/Perth WA, they have quickly made a name for themselves, packing out venues with their energetic live show and a knack for writing catchy tunes.
Off the back of multiple national-sold-out-shows and tours, supporting Skegss, Spacey Jane and Old Mervs, playing One Night Stand, Rolling Sets, and landing at #154 on triple j’s Hottest 100 and previously #1 Most Played on the station for several weeks, Rolling Stone has described the band as "One of the most exciting bands to come out of Australia's indie-rock scene in years."
Leading on from plays on Sian Eleri’s Future Artist’s on BBC Radio 1 and Craig Charles’ BBC 6 Music show, the West Coast trio are primed for their first UK/EU shows in May, including stops at tastemaker fests The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, Liverpool Sound City, The Road to The Great Escape and London Calling in Amsterdam.

Annie HamiltonThrough cascading, ethereal vocals and sprawling instrumentation, Australian artist Annie Hamilton boasts a unique ability to evoke memory and nostalgia within her music. Rejecting straight-forward narrative structure in favour of pinning down hyper-specific yet universally empathetic moments, her 2022 debut album, 'the future is here but it feels kinda like the past', is a stylised-yet-grainy collage of snapshots that span a mammoth range of emotion, sound and genre, but are tied together as documentation of little human moments, full of contradiction and duality, reality as metaphor and metaphor as reality. In her short solo career, she has already completed tours with Julia Jacklin, Lime Cordiale, Gordi and Jack River, attracting the praise of triple j, CLASH Magazine, The Fader, NPR and more.
