On Thursday 13 June at 7pm, Blonde Redhead will perform a special live set, hosted by Tristen Harris of The Golden Age of Piracy.

The legendary US band are touring Australia for the first time in 13 years. It follows the release of their new album Sit Down For Dinner, described as their "warmest, most welcoming music yet."

It's a rare chance to see their avant-rock, experimental pop, and ethereal melodies in the intimate surroundings of the Performance Space.

Then, on Wednesday 19 June at 6pm, get ready for a stomping set by Opelousas, hosted by Kate Kingsmill of The Distant Sky.

Melbourne’s swamp-blues powerhouse, Opelousas, will bring their latest album Opelousafried to life.

A recent Triple R Album of the week, it features the talents of supreme local musicians Kerri Simpson, Alison Ferrier, and Anthony “Shorty” Shortte.

There’s New Orleans soul influences, and tender rock ballads, as the band explore themes of passion, paranoia, and betrayal.

And on Friday 21 June at 7pm, join us for a vibrant set from local heroes Parsnip, hosted by Clara Slewa of Velvet Haze.

Their album Behold, was a recent Triple R Album of the Week, a soaring flight of lyrical wit and melodic imagination.

Songs draw from '60s and '80s influences, with layered vocals and a range of instruments. Prepare for a playful and profound performance.

A leading voice in Naarm’s neo-soul and jazz scene, Emma Volard will perform songs from their second album, Alibi.

Get ready for an evening of inclusive storytelling and future soul sounds.

Last, but not least, on Friday 28 June at 7pm, we'll be treated to a special Live at RRR performance by RONA., hosted by Ethan Savage of Feel The Floor. We had to cancel RONA.'s May performance due to illness, and are thrilled she'll be able to join us in June.

RONA., a Kaytetye producer and DJ, is known for her meditative dance music that merges the soundscapes of Country with innovative production techniques. Fresh from a recent Boiler Room set, and the release of new single, "Be My Medicine," Rona will bring a mix of euphoric melodies, spacious atmospherics, and stories of strength, and community through her music.
