We are honoured to announce all the way from the UK, Progressive Psych Rock Gods Church of the Cosmic Skull as the headlining band for WO FEST 2023 at Evelyn Hotel Fitzroy, VIC Saturday 26th August!
Putting the Abba in Sabbath’ since 2016, the groups joyous blend of prog-psych-pop-rock with dark occult undercurrents has ignited hysteria and frenzy across the globe. In the words of Classic Rock Magazine: ‘the band’s mystical origins and white-robed stage attire carry all the trappings of an early-70s hippie sex cult, but their sound is rooted firmly in crunching classic-era arena rock.’
As we carve out the end of the year, there is no better way than finishing 2022 in style with a solid dose of heavy metal and debauchery at the Iconic Lansdowne Hotel in Chippendale, NSW. New Zealands speed metal demons ‘Stalker’ will headline this evening of substance fuelled headbanging after tearing apart their last Sydney appearance in November at “Brutefest 2022” with Skeletal Remains from USA at Crowbar and previous to that selling out The Vanguard on their first ever Sydney appearance. Local Acid metal filth slingers Sabire from are bringing the party (like they always do) along with a Supersoaker full of Tequila (Yeah, watch this) and supporting these maniacs are local Speed/Thrash metal lords ‘Livewire’, Victorias fascinating Heavy Metal crew ‘True Believer’ and South American Blackened Death worshippers ‘Blasfemancia’. We’ve outdone ourselves this time with this line-up of heavy hitters so indestructible the bar will be full from 7pm with familiar rocking tunes blasting out in preparation for the acts above ready to bring on 2023 with the strongest commitment to live music the scene has witnessed in years.

Your Mate would like to announce the signing of A Broken Sail to the management roster.
Sydneys Bleak Rock Collective formed in 2017, have released multiple Eps and splits with artists abroad (Including David Pajo / Papa M). Pending a new release via a major US Label, A Broken Sail are well on their way to becoming one of Australias most sought after avant-garde rock bands.
Requested by US based band June of 44 to join them on their upcoming return to AUS/NZ after 24 years is another reason the Sydney, now trio, is a band to keep on your watch list in the months and years to come.
Bookings and interviews can be organised via yourmatebookings@gmail.com
Inspired by a plaguing sense of existential, unease, Burden Man weave potent ruminations on sorrow, personal suffering and the inevitability of our collective demise.
