SUMMARY:Primus Vs. Mr Bungle - A Night of Kooky Covers at the Rosemount Hotel
DESCRIPTION:A collective of Perth’s cover kings are paying tribute to experimental funk rock titans PRIMUS and MR. BUNGLE in this mega double-feature! \nSome say the works of Primus and Mr. Bungle were far ahead of their time\, redefining genres and subverting listener expectations in a myriad of stupefying ways – others called their “music” nonsensical and improvisational… Whichever camp you fall in\, it can’t be denied that their chaotic creations have been dissected and worshipped for decades now\, and the quirky charisma of their respective frontmen Les Claypool and Mike Patton continue to be adored by many. \nCome on down to the Rosemount Hotel in North Perth for a dose of their kookiest tunes! First to take the stage will be BUNGLE’S BOWEL OF CHILEY\, a six-piece band presenting a wide variety of Mr. Bungle’s most unhinged ditties. Once the opening act have finished melting faces\, FRYMUS will culminate the evening by exploding the minds of all patrons left standing! There is no trio in the whole of Western Australia more equipped and skilled enough to fulfil the task of recapturing the colourful discography of Primus. \nTickets are Officially Available Now! Don’t you dilly dally!! \nSet times to be announced closer to the date.

Returning in 2026\, Helmet will deliver inspired and essential moments from across their extensive back catalogue\, satiating once again the Australian hunger for a night of drenched intensity. \nFormed in New Yorkby Page Hamilton\, Helmet rewired heavy music guiding peers like Deftones\, Korn\, through to Pantera and later Mastodon\, to heel to the power of the brutal riff. \nHelmet’s 1992 landmark Meantime album went gold and cemented them as trailblazers of the heavy music scene. From the genre-bending Betty (1994) which included the alt version “Milktoast” on cult 90’s film The Crow\, and Aftertaste (1997) to their return with Size Matters (2004) and a string of uncompromising releases through Dead to the World (2016)\, Left (2023) they remain a critical force.

SUMMARY:John Maus Perth show at The Rechabite with NO BRIDE
DESCRIPTION:Mistletone presents John Maus on his first Australian tour since 2019 with special guest\, NO BRIDE. Tickets on sale now! \nCult American experimental musician-philosopher John Maus has risen to mythic status in the last 20 years for his intense live shows\, which perform the “hysterical body” in all its authenticity and catharsis. His music insists on the power of genuine emotion and radical sincerity. Engaging deeply with the crisis of modern life\, Maus longs for truth and transcendence in an age of irony\, alienation and political decay. His new project is a radical reawakening – powered by faith\, acceptance\, and an urgent belief that time is of the essence and this is the moment of truth.

His songwriting appears on albums from Rod Stewart\, k.d. Lang\, Nick Lowe\, Emmylou Harris\, Fiest and Michael Bublé. He has built a steadfast reputation with critics and some of his songwriting heroes ( Paul McCartney\, Elton John\, Ray Davies\, John Prine\, Gordon Lightfoot\, Leonard Cohen\, Elvis Costello\, Chris Martin to name just a few) for his characteristically honest\, sensitive and enduring approach to the songwriter craft which over the years has evolved into a unique and timeless blend of classic pop\, contemporary folk and roots-rock idioms. \n“With a songwriting style that’s modest and often brilliant\, Sexsmith creates music that’s delicately crafted\, suffused with a kind of melancholic grace.” ​ – The Guardian \nSexsmith has JUST released his album “Hangover Terrace\,”on 18th\, on August 29\, 2025. The album title is a play on Hangover Terrace\, the name of which tickled the fancy of Sexsmith’s drummer Don Kerr. He labelled it “Hangover Terrace”- “a lightbulb moment” for Sexsmith who snagged it for the title. The record produced by Martin Terefe includes 14 songs\, marks a departure from his recent work.  \n“My last few albums actually had a feeling of rural contentment\, “Hangover Terrace” feels more wounded to me\,” says Sexsmith… “There’s some self-examination going on and a desire to know who my real friends are. It also deals with the passing of time and how many more things become dear.”  \nFilmmaker Rod Arrowsmith made an acclaimed documentary in 2010 called ‘Love Shines’ which follows Sexsmith’sas he embarks on an effort to achieve new commercial success with his 12th album.
