This summer the world’s pre-eminent Bogan Funk band Playlunch are setting sail for North America and bringing their unique brand of raucous dance tracks to the masses. https://youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M?si=Gk4KnDStsGh0NO8Z

So what exactly is Bogan Funk? It’s basically what happens when a bunch of Aussie blokes who grew up playing INXS covers at the local pub set out to try and become the new Kool & The Gang. Think… James Brown meets Crocodile Dundee. Earth, Wind & Fire meets Amyl & The Sniffers. And it seems to be exactly what the world was waiting for… https://youtu.be/YBuVloFXQCw?si=mmldjhNm_SiDu9AJ

With more than 30 million views across platforms, the Melbourne 7-piece have become one of the hottest acts emerging from the land down under. Placing #4 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of 2025, their viral track ‘Keith’ has taken the band international - capturing even the attention of Canadian rapper Bbno$. https://playlunchband.square.site/

“Art-Punk by non-punk non-artists”—Utah bred and LA based, Sego first caught the attention of LA tastemakers with their penchant for avant-garde grooves helming indie-pop hooks. Since its genesis, Sego’s prolific output and experimental live shows have garnered all the accolades modern indie bands dream of—critical praise from NPR, European tours, festival spots at Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, and a national (Xfinity) commercial airing on the Olympics and the Super Bowl. Living and recording together out of their downtown LA warehouse, Sego (Spencer, Thomas, Derv, and Kathleen) has just started releasing tunes from their 3rd forthcoming full-length album. This offering expands upon their pop sensibilities and thematic musings while boasting all the resistance and intelligence that makes them the most compelling art-punks in the scene.
