Fabulous Contraption
A living, breathing machine constructed from modern jazz, experimental metal and progressive rock
Their music moves from slick and streamlined to primordial chaos, from calmly hypnotic grooves to frenetic punk chaos. You’ll hear soaring solos, open-structured improvisations, intricate synthesiser and guitar lines, dirty grooves, and all manner of metric mayhem.

Valentitanic Trio
Jazz is supposed to rebel against classical so let’s rebel against jazz.
On Valentine’s Day 2023 a monster was birthed from an ancient egg near the Cooks River in Tempe. The Valentitanic Trio argues for the rebellious spirit of jazz. We are not here to play jazz. We are here to play the room, in the room, for the room, with the room. Our own special brand of Hatejazz will bring joy and nightmares to all who behold.
Who are we?
Mike Kennett (Squid, Fabulous Contraption) - guitar/keys
Alia Josephine (Vermillion Trio) - saxophone
Tim Bradley (On The Stoop, every single band ever) - drums
Josh Shipton (TRIANGLE, Blue Eyed Ravens) - bass
If you miss them you’ll need to write yourself a personal apology.
