Grouse Party and Penny drop are pleased to announce that New York’s LIGHT ASYLUM will be touring Australia. Just announced for VIVID Live festival in Sydney, they also perform live for GROUSE PARTY on FRIDAY 1st JUNE at PHOENIX PUBLIC HOUSE. 


Fronted by an amazing sting force, Shannon Funchess is undoubtedly the real deal, described by The Guardian as “a cyborg soul girl in the manner of Grace Jones”.


You only have to watch the video & then you’ll know what’s hit you.

YO! MAJESTY TOUR POSTPONED

Statement from Yo! Majesty’s Management:

“Due to unforeseen illness Yo Majesty have had to postpone their Australian tour. This is of course a last resort and we’ve had no other option. We will be working hard to bring the girls down again in the next couple month when fully recovered to wow you with their new live show and tracks off their forthcoming album. Thanks for your support and keep an eye out in the coming months.”

-Please contact MOSHTIX for a refund on your tickets-
