Massive shout out to Casey Atkins for absoloutely destroying it on his first ever gig with us, Peta Caswell , Pan-Pacific Grand Prix & you good souls who joined us.

Live at The Vic!
We’re gonna keep this gig roll on while we can. Back with the full band at The Vic on the Park Marrickville for a FREE show on Friday, 6th May with our friends Pan Pacific Grand Prix. The last time I played The Vic was for Ade line’s final show back in 2004! So it’s going to be a fab return to this great pub.

Bryan Estepa’s New EP is an Enthused Reframing of Guitar Pop

Bryan Estepa’s new six-song EP is a paean to hope and recovery: a sprightly affair that wouldn’t be out of place in the company of records by Matthew Sweet, mid-career Elvis Costello, and The Wondermints.

New Music – Back to the Middle
Hi Friends,
Today is the release day of my new record – ‘Back to the Middle’. Produced by Josh Pyke and featuring a cast of some of the most talented musician friends I know. Recorded during the brief relief moments allowed to us in Sydney over the past 18 months of this pandemic.
The thrill, nerves and excitement has never dimmed over the years when sharing such a big reflection of who I am and what I do best. Pure Joy for me. I know it has been a difficult and trying time for us all lately but I have found that focusing as much energy as I can onto an outlet I love has become my saving grace. Making music, working on my fitness and spending quality time with my children were it for me. I hope that you too have found your escape in some form.
So please join me in celebrating these six new songs. Follow the link below or click on the EP cover to listen to it on your preferred platform. Let’s help this little record travel by any means that you can.
Stay safe and sane guys.
Much Gratitude,
Bryan

Presave/Preorder – ‘Back to the Middle’
I remember being a teen in the 90’s and excitedly going into my local music store like Galleons Music Fairfield & Red Eye Records to preorder new CD albums from my faves like You Am I, Regurgitator, Diesel, Pearl Jam, Soungarden & Oasis. Always hoping I’d nab a bonus disc, tote bag or a t-shirt. Good times.
Well, times have changed a bit since then. Now we can PRESAVE upcoming music from your streaming platform of choice. If I’m to be honest, it’s not as exciting as waiting on an actual physical product but it’s the new world order and I’m right in the thick of it! I have a new EP called ‘Back to the Middle’ (Produced by Josh Pyke) coming out on Sep 24 and I can’t wait to get it out to your ears. I’d love for you to help me out by Presaving it and make these bunch of songs travel far and wide! Couple of clicks on the link below or the image friends. Thank you all!
