Line up details:
Mid Evening: The sweet homebrew project of a devoted cat-dad, Mid-Evening, curates a melting blend of bedroom-pop and alt-rock that explores the conflicting worlds of sincere enthusiasm and obstructive reality. It’s sonically dreamy, other times groovy, and packed with melodies grounded in the world of growth, ageing, and newfound responsibility.
Milk After Sex: Loved by the people loathed by musicians, Milk After Sex are a punk band from the western suburbs of Melbourne. After their Debut E.P. last year ‘footscray road open day’ M.A.S have been busy writing more songs to confuse, critique and excite the masses. Come for the saxophone stay for the drum machine.
Resenter: A four-piece band from Melbourne crafting a heavy blend of shoegaze, slowcore, and emo. Known for their dense wall of sound, melancholic textures, and intertwining guitar lines, their songs capture states altered by memory, loss and melancholy

Mamma Chen’s acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
