😎THE PATSY RECLINERS LIVE AT MIXTAPE THURSDAY 21/5 😎
The Patsy Recliners are a genre‑bending(!!) outfit known for blending vintage country charm with modern storytelling and a sly, self‑aware sense of humour. Formed by a group of long‑time friends who bonded over classic records, late‑night jam sessions, and a shared love of the tragically melancholic, the band has carved out a sound that feels both warmly familiar and unmistakably their own.
Drawing inspiration from bop, newgrass and psychedelic country — whilst never taking themselves too seriously — The Patsy Recliners weave twangy guitar, flangin’ fiddle, rich harmonies, and wry lyrical turns into songs that celebrate life’s small triumphs, quiet heartbreaks, and the odd absurdity of being human. Their music sits comfortably between barroom sing‑alongs and slow‑burning, introspective ballads, always anchored by a deep respect for craft (beer).
On stage, the band are equal parts tight musicianship and easy-going charisma. Their shows feel like gatherings of old friends: warm, funny, and full of moments that linger long after the last chord rings out. Whether they’re playing an intimate local venue or a bustling festival stage, The Patsy Recliners bring a sense of authenticity that resonates with audiences across generations.
With a growing catalogue of original songs and a steadily expanding fanbase, The Patsy Recliners continue to refine their sound while staying true to the spirit that started it all — a love of music that brings people together, invites them to slow down, and maybe even recline for a while.

🎉 The On and Ons album launch at Mixtape 🎉
The On and Ons are a Sydney, Australia-based rock/power pop quartet with a string of critically acclaimed releases on Citadel Records plus French and US singles.
In 2024 The On and Ons signed with US label Jem Records who have released a compilation album ‘Come On In’ plus the band’s latest album ‘Luminary’ which contains 14 brand new songs which are considered the band’s best yet.
The On and Ons launch Luminary at Mixtape, Marrickville on Thursday May 14, when they will play the album in its entirety for the first and perhaps only time. They will be joined by special guests Pocketwatch.
Pocketwatch are a high‑energy mod‑pop band that sprang out of Sydney’s south in the post‑COVID era. Led by singer‑songwriter Angus Ross, the band has released two EPs and played countless gigs, including supports for early 2000s darlings Cobra Starship and Swiss garage‑rockers The Jackets. Known for explosive live shows and sartorial flair, Pocketwatch turn heads wherever they go

Lobsterman was formed in Sydney in 1997 by Chris Lobb, Missy Owly Girl and Chris Baz. While all 3 had spent time with Sydney band Crow, the nucleus of
this long lived and much loved band created a loungey, cabaret style guitar sound undercut by Lobb’s trademark sly humour and burgeoning romantic song-smithing. On the back of their first Lp “Get With Lobsterman”, the band developed a strong presence in the Sydney inner west scene supporting acts as diverse as Tendrils, Joe Pernice and Crow.
As a prolific artist of songs, stories and paintings, Chris Lobb continues to produce and create in the wake of Lobsterman, mining his own considerable archive of home recordings and stories that stretch back to the 1980’s.

Knievel Vs The Instant✨Sat May 2 @mixtapebrewery Marrickville.
Formed in Newcastle in 1996, The Instant built a cult following on their acclaimed debut Notes & Errata and immersive, instrumental live shows — drawing comparisons to Sonic Youth and Fugazi… sharing stages with the likes of Trans Am, Dinosaur Jr, Lou Barlow, My Disco, Temper Trap, Wolf Eyes & Die! Die! Die!.
After a long hiatus, they returned in late 2025 to a packed hometown crowd, sharper than ever and writing new material at full tilt.
Headlining the bill at Mixtape are Sydney indie stalwarts Knievel featuring Nick Kennedy, Tracy Ellis and acclaimed producer Wayne Connolly, whose work with artists including You Am I, The Vines and Paul Dempsey has helped shape the sound of Australian music over the past three decades.
This show brings together two acts deeply embedded in Australia’s indie rock lineage, a rare convergence of past influence and present momentum.
