Progressive Rock Cult CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL headline WO FEST 2023 in Melbourne!

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.’

The line up for our annual festival includes an array of talented Australian artists including Grinding EyesSeedy Jeezus SONS OF ZÖKU Oceanlord Brown Spirits Frozen Planet 1969

A Broken Sail – Management Addition

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
