With five studio albums, a compilation, a soundtrack, a live album/film and a whole bunch of singles, Kinematic’s music has been described as indie rock, pop, folk, alternative and electronic, all of which is confusingly true. 2025 marks 25 years of songwriting for the band, and they're celebrating with the release of the single Seaside Town, with studio album #6 hot on its heels.

Although originally inspired by Mike’s seasonal family trips to a caravan in Torquay, Seaside Town pays homage to anyone’s summer coastal escape. Or home ... with Gordo living on the other side of the bay on the Mornington Peninsula, a Kinematic tune about unwinding by the beach was probably inevitable. The song is infectious - we knew we were on to something special the very first time we played it live, when everyone jumped out of their seats for a dance.

We're thrilled to be launching the new single at the Merri Creek Tavern, in the Melbourne suburb that happens to be where everything began for this li'l indie band 25 years ago.

Kinematic will be joined on the night by local legend, Tim Reid.

Ticket $25 +bf thru Humanitix or $30 at the door (if it doesn't sell out).
