Micho Lupo | 7.30pm

Hailing from the Southern Forests and Blackwood Valley of Bridgetown, Western Australia, MICHO LUPO (formerly The MDV Band) channels the raw soul of electric blues with a bold blend of funk, rock, and Americana.
Drawing inspiration from legends like ZZ Top, Samantha Fish, The Tedeschi Trucks Band, Mountain, and Cream, MICHO LUPO carves out a dynamic sound that swings between cool, laid-back ballads, grooves and explosive, high-voltage riffs.
With a stage presence that’s as magnetic as their sound, MICHO LUPO brings the heat delivering gritty, feel-it-in-your-bones blues rock with serious power, soul, and swagger.
Vocals/percussion: Marisa De Vattimo. Bass: Joel Huey. Drums: Jerome Turle. Keys: Cody Wiseman. Guitar/Vocals: Mark De Vattimo. Backing vocals: Sandy Green.

Big Town Players | 9.00pm

Big Town Players play old school Rhythm and Blues with new school Rock attitude. We’re talking Real Rhythm and Blues! Like that originally played in America in the ‘50s and ‘60s, which we’ve married to modern day rock, producing an infectious repertoire with tongue in cheek lyrics that will have you dancing from the get-go. This gig they will be celebrating their 10^th anniversary.
MEMBERS: Phil Bradley (guitar and vocals) is one of Perth’s major guitar-slingers! He has been a member of legendary outfits such as The Mutants of Desire, Brutus, Subtruck, Steve Tallis and The Snakes of Desire, Polite Society, and The Jets to name just a few. He has embraced the chance to embellish the BTPs with his inimitable style and his inimitable voice.
Howie Smallman (blues harmonica and vocals) has been heavily influenced by the old Chicago blues blowers, providing gun harp in many Perth bands over decades. These include Salty Dog, The West Coast Rhythm Kings, Jaywalkers, Sneekers, Dave Hole, Feet First, The Body and Fender Band, The Hips, Smeeton and Smallman, and Datura4.
Phil Riseborough (drums and vocals) has been a stalwart of this big town’s music scene, applying his percussive skills in the ‘70s to such outfits as Spinifex and Twice Shy. Phil later became a top sound engineer to Perth bands as diverse as The Stems and Matt Taylor. Phil returned to the drummer’s stool in the naughties with The Hips, and now BTPs.
