On October 17th, The ferocious act The Maggie Pills are taking over The Night Cat to launch their highly anticipated sophomore album 'Hearts Enduring Lingering Loss'. With twelve tracks filled with grunge distortion and fuzz-drenched menace, 'Hearts Enduring Lingering Loss' unpacks loss, desire, fear and defiance in equal measure. H.E.L.L is more than the sum of its parts. It’s reflection, it’s the cyclical nature of things, it’s pain and joy and hope. It dreams of a brighter future, with echoes of the past and tales of myth mirroring the persistence of the human condition. It melds nostalgia, memory, and comforting reflection, with urgency and need and discomfort at ourselves and the world around us. Joining them will be Melbourne faves DESTRENDS, PROPAINE and CONG JOSIE. THE MAGGIE PILLSLed by Argentinian front woman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, The Maggie Pills are a fierce outfit who embody the spirit of the Indie/Alternative movement and the urgency of Punk, with an intense and magnetic live performance.Their catalogue includes two EPs, several singles and a massive debut double album titled “Hope is Risk”. Self-produced by Perez, the album was nominated by Music Victoria for ‘Best Heavy Work’ as part of the Music Victoria Awards 2023 and by the Australian Music Prize as one of the best Australian albums released in 2023. DESTRENDSBold, angular, and soaked in the kind of theatrics every music fan craves, Melbourne collective Destrends offers up a seamless blend of modern Australian post-punk, British rock, and driving 80s new wave. PROPAINEPropaine are a 4-piece alt-rock/alt punk band interlacing volatile and abrupt peaks of noise with delicate sparse melody. Propaine creates sound which revels in emotive anger alongside waves of melancholy hooks and repetition. CONG JOSIECong Josie, Naarms most infamous synth-punk greaser, rolls like a heartbroken gutter snake. Backed by his gang,The Hellraisers, their shows are lauded for their unpredictability, audience interaction and rollin good times. With two LP's under his belt and the new EP collaboration with Garry Sacred (Sacred Cowboys) there's no stopping Josie and his street fightin' associates. We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
