Heat 8 features:

2023 was a big year for Goodbye Spacebear with highlights including scoring for the international theatre production ‘The Hunt’, performing the score live at the Brisbane Powerhouse in late October, playing 30 local gigs, and achieving runners up in both the Sound Garden and Greaser Bar 2023 Battle of the Bands. They hope to make 2024 even more special. GBSB’s ethereal and raw sound is reminiscent of acts such as Sigur ros, Radiohead, Tool, M83, and Hans Zimmer. At the core of this Brisbane band’s otherworldly sound is the reverberated, modulated, and filtered textures produced by synthesizers and guitars in contrast with a dynamic rhythm section, topped off with dual vocals. Although GBSB’s live shows are most memorable for the atmosphere they create with their originals and highly regarded Hans Zimmer covers, GBSB are no strangers to slick guitar riffs, catchy choruses, timing changes, and the catchy melodies that make their music and live shows appealing to audiences of varying ages and musical tastes.

The Phosphenes are a Caboolture based dynamic indie alt rock band with roots deeply embedded in alternative rock , garage rock, grunge and post-punk influences. The band's sound is a captivating blend of raw energy and thoughtful lyricism. 

With synth laden tracks and thick guitars, Space Flamingo are answering the call of Modern Rock in the Brisbane/Meanjin Scene. Inspired by a mayhem of genre; including the persuasions of funk, desert & stoner rock, pop-punk & more, Space Flamingo have crafted a unique sound, forged through the theatric. With performances that incorporate the broader narratives of their songs, and a sonic aesthetic as bright as their neon grunge visuals, Space Flamingo strives to leave audiences enraptured.

A zesty Meanjin band with soul for days, taking you on a psych inspired trip to folk garage fusion. Vacant Gaze have trained tirelessly for Battle, and are ready to put on a killer show.
