“The Astrovan add layers of arty brains to some well-trodden Australian indie ground, trumpets and keys playing silly buggers over familiar twang and melody. You kind of think you know where they’re going right up until they elbow you clear off the path into the wilder grass.” Gallery Listen

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
