So... see you in the city!SUNDAY BANDS SCHEDULE 2012:
Sun 8 Jan | 1:00pm - 3:00pm The Fancy Brothers
This multiple WAMi nominated band serves up dubious bluegrass with a side dish of badly mashed country and undercooked banter. Fronted by two of Fremantle's fanciest songwriters,
Jeff Strong (banjo) and
Justin Walshe (mandolin) - and bound and gagged by a crackpot family string band starring
Phoebe Corke on fiddle,
Justin Castley on double bass and
Merle Fyshwick on guitar - The Fancy Brothers make you dance like a hillbilly and cry like a mule!
Sun 19 Feb | 1:00pm - 3:00pm Leon Ewing 1-1:45pm
Darkly humorous, satirical and theatrical beyond theatricality, Leon avoids commercialisation, eschewing specialisation, and with it the fame and fortune in exchange for the sheer joy of following his darling heart and mind to some of the less interesting and exotic places they take him.
The Stanleys 2-3:00pm
Meeting and forming the band online -
Mark Di Renzo, Paul Di Renzo and
Jamie Horsburgh (Gigantic, The Chevelles) collaborated via correspondence with Norway’s
Tomas Dahl (Turbonegro), eventually hitting studios in Oslo, Paris, Perth and Sydney to track their first generation of songs for the Always EP. The Stanleys embarked on a World Tour in 2011, which took them across Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia with an itinerary of festivals, supports and headline shows. The boys play their first shows in China for The Ming Dynasty Tour in May.
Sun 26 Feb | 1:00pm - 3:00pm Bonus February Concert!Ben Zabbia Band
The
Ben Zabbia Band have created a fresh sound crossing genres of folk, pop, and jazz.

Performances have included Fairbridge, Nannup and Araluen Music Festivals. Ben released his first album in 2005 entitled ʻInto the Flameʼ and is currently working on a second album with his band.
