Live at The Retreat Hotel, Brunswick – Sunday March 16 – FREE ENTRY!

Gavin Bowles & The Distractions (Syd) w/ special guests Terra Rouge.

Sydney Power Pop quartet Gavin Bowles & The Distractions hit the ground running in 2023; releasing a series of catchy singles, blazing through a stellar run of headline shows across the country and releasing their debut album “Phoning It In”; a sharp, no-holds-barred album of zippy pop-rock songs.

After a brief recharge, Bowles & The Distractions are back with their latest singles “She Hates My Guts” and “Love Is Dumb”.

Bowles & The Distractions get down to business with their incredibly tight and nuanced performances; brandishing catchy melodies, flourishes of bright guitars, hop-along bass lines and watertight drum grooves. Gavin Bowles & The Distractions have quickly gained a reputation for their energetic and refined live shows; combining their Power Pop influences with Indie Rock sensibilities.

Kicking off the night is Melbourne’s own Terra Rouge. Emerging from the underground scene in 2019, Terra and band boast gritty guitars and punchy vocals. Having recently been touring Aus in the wake of their debut album “So Fucking Over It”; Terra Rouge flaunts an energetic show and grungy sound, not to be missed!
