Magpie returns to the stage with their highly anticipated debut single, ‘I Was Only 19’
Bringing a fresh take on the Aussie classic written by Redgum, Magpie adds an element of adolescent anger and anxiety to match the current state of geopolitics.
Between Angelo’s lead-footed and heavy-handed solos and Koby’s frantic adrenaline-fueled pounding on the skins, you’re in store for a hair-raising three minutes and twenty seconds.
So come down to The Retreat Hotel on the 14th of December for a night of Christmas festivities, blistering psychedelic sludge conjured from the swampy suburbs under the Dandenong mountains from Flower Field Folly.
The raw, alt rock sensation, Dear Matilda, not the opals, they aren’t playing this gig. And last but not least, Magpie, serving you their Roar Against War and celebrating the release of their debut single...
I WAS ONLY 19
