Latest instalment of our weekly country, blues, folk, rock, eclectic open mic night.

Our astronomical alignment of three celestial bodies has come to fruition. Our third and final single offering will achieve what is known as syzygy, please welcome to this psychedelic world, our latest and greatest....Hereafter!!!

Hereafter is a ferocious, constantly pushing, constantly pulling song that rips you along for a tumultuous ride. It leaves you frazzled, yet provides a time of disassociation, a time spent searching for lost love, lust and life.

Joining us on the night will be Meanjin's most wanted, Mosspaw. The freshly formed quintet are a palette of alt-rock, psych-rock, shoegaze, pop and nu-jazz. Mosspaws sonic canvas is a high-contrast amalgam of heavy and light, off-kilter and soothing, with a dusting of pop sensibility, aka, top fukkin notch.

Rounding out the line up will be another fresh addition to the Brisbane scene, Diedsmall.
Diedsmall. is comprised of past members of L. Flora, Seahorse Divorce and Vulture Circus. The band will bring a dose of punk ferocity and virtuosity to the night. These players are some of Brisbane's most accomplished musicians, don't miss their live debut here at The Cave Inn!

Hereafter is the next single off our forthcoming album, Syzygy. Syzygy is due out May 2024. Come see it live in all its glory.

It would be ever so lovely to have you come and celebrate fhae's wonderful new album my tethered heart grows tired with us on March 21st at the finest inner suburbs hang, The Cave Inn!

1830 - doors
1900 - Sebya
2000 - fhae
2100 - Lighthouse Mouse

Pre-save my tethered heart grows tired here.
fhae will have a super limited number of unique lino prints for sale at the show.

fhae is Ellena Ramsay’s (she/he/they) Meanjin based experimental-ambient-folk project combining ethereal haunting vocals with organic instrumentation and raw percussive production.

Since Ramsay established the project in 2021, they have released 4 LPs (ehu ofepr, sombre thorax, she lives within me and my tethered heart grows tired), 4 EPs and a string of singles and compilation appearances.

With a seemingly bottomless reservoir of curiosity, nous and creativity, there is no sign of things slowing down in 2024. fhae is one of the most prolific and compelling artists active in Meanjin today.

Their fourth album, my tethered heart grows tired, delves into the complexities of human emotions, exploring themes of anger, guilt, lust, sadness, and grief. Each track serves as a portal into the shadowy recesses of the soul, where suppressed feelings linger beneath the surface.

---

The aching, slowly evolving songs of Sebya are masterpieces of economy and feeling. Songwriter Demetry Malahoff, along with cellist Felicity Mohr, bassist Felix Armytage, and drummer Talia Bond, use space and beauty to drag the listener back home to tender and true places. Spellbinding live, and not to be missed.

---
Lighthouse Mouse are a Brisbane 4-piece who’ve been hailed for their polished and fun indie/rock as well as their chaotic and charismatic live performances. Their front-man Connor Raveggi pours feelings into smooth vocals that ride over punchy and fun instrumentals and occasionally, frenzied percussion.

---

This event takes place on Turrbal and Jagera country.
We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, recognise sovereignty was never ceded and pay our respects to the elders past and present.
