FULL BAND FREE ENTRY Support from Gilroy and Sun Dress

Joe Mungovan knows what’s good for you - and, incidentally, what’s bad for you too. Naturally, he prefers the latter. Hurts is the third release this year from indie-rock artist Joe Mungovan, fresh off East Coast tours with The Vanns and Brad Cox. The track is an emotionally unhinged ode to a situationship held together by the intoxicating thrill of the chase. Sonically, Joe draws inspiration from Balu Brigada, The Jungle Giants and a nostalgic dose of Franz Ferdinand, weaving a seriously catchy melody that captures the excitement, frustration, disappointment - and ultimately, the thrill - of wanting something (or someone) you know is just no good for you. From tea-making to trauma bonding, Hurts takes listeners on a ride that proves, in the end, maybe we’re all just gluttons for punishment. To mark the release, Joe will be playing with The Rubens at Barn on the Ridge and has added a small string of additional shows below: 22 November - Milton 29 November - Kiama 30 November - Newcastle 03 January - Freshwater
