SOME TIX LEFT ON THE DOOR!

FOOL'S GOLD FESTIVAL

The very first FOOLS GOLD FESTIVAL is taking place on April 1st at Tanswell’s Hotel, and yes you’re reading it right… Brant Bjork is playing in Beechworth! The Californian stoner rock legend himself (formerly of Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Desert Sessions + heaps more and a helluva solo career) is touring Australia with fellow legends Mario Lalli and Ryan Gut, who make up the BRANT BJORK TRIO, and we are beyond excited to have secured them for Fool’s Gold! If you know him, you know. If you don’t, you will after this!

 

They’ll be joined by ripping lineup of killer bands headed by our very own, Beechworth-bred fuzz rock royalty, MY LEFT BOOT, who have conjoined their traditional Easter show (19 years running) with the festival for this epic occasion. 

 

Add to this FULL TONE GENERATOR (heaving groove merchants touring Nationally with Brant Bjork Trio with brand new album in tow), SEEDY JEEZUS (incredible jams taken from the shared neural energy waves), SPACEJUNK (explosive and powerful live riff merchants), DROID (incredible tuned down stoner/doom hybrid via the Wangaratta underworld) and ANOX (local Beechworth 5 piece aged between 15 and 22, with a sound well beyond their years). 

 

Between bands we’ll have the talents of ORIGINAL MC and DJ JANE DOE on the wheels of steel to keep the party partying and the noise noisy. 

 

Phooooar! Yep! Tickets and info available right now now at www.foolsgoldfest.com. Doors open at 2pm April 1st at Tanswell’s Hotel, Beechworth for a full day of regional, rock ’n’ roll festival fun times. Yes it seems too good to be true, yes the festival is on April Fools’ Day, but we can assuredly assure you that this is actually really bloody happening! See you at FOOL’S GOLD!
