Boyfriend Material, No Illuminati & Practical Girls

Celebrating International Women’s Day, Hopsters presents:
Boyfriend Material, No Illuminati & Practical Girls

Boyfriend Material is a Sydney-based indie pop rock trio formed in early 2024, the band has hit the ground running; writing, recording, and releasing two singles in their first year, with a third already on the way. They have quickly made waves in their local scene, opening for notable acts like Press Club and Sloan Peterson. As they work on their debut album, they dream of one day selling novelty socks at their headline shows.

No Illuminati are vintage organs & moog bass (Lishan Ang), blues guitars (Tyler Grant), soaring vocals (Cat Robinson), and driving drums (Stephen Meldrum). A fusion of the old vs the new: No Illuminati are a trip hop blues rock outfit from the inner west of Sydney who were born in the underground warehouse party scene. The mesmerising toe tapping songs are a fusion of jazz harmony over pulsating moog bass with driving rock rhythms, blues rock guitar, and the jazz vocal stylings and performance antics of Cat.

Practical Girls are old friends, tasty leftovers from many bands, rekindling the spark of what went down in the late 90’s & early 2000’s. Suzy Goodwin, John Morgan & Peter Timmerman – a semi-acoustic trio of folky pop with a touch of urgency thrown in for good measure.
