What?
Come and see Winksy as they hit the Old Bar stage for their first headliner of the year! Joining the festivities is their New York pal Tall Juan, making his debut solo appearance in Australia, alongside Melbourne’s egg punk darling Billiam.
Winksy’s infatuation with music is more than mere admiration; it's a voracious obsession that ignites their creative spirit. Winksy weaves a musical tapestry that speaks to the human experience, their musical style combining the influence of their 60's pop/rock idols with a unique touch of quirky, lyric driven songs that attempt to grapple with the subject of what it means to be human. The timeless quality of their music could be described, in its essence, as pop essentialism mixed with vintage revivalism.
In San Antonio de Padua, Buenos Aires, Argentina, a six-year-old boy picks up an electric guitar for the first time. He feels the sharp steel strings and smells the wood while playing his first chords. He eventually leaves his hometown for New York City, ending up in
Rockaway Beach, Queens. Juan Zaballa becomes Tall Juan and begins his music career with the support of his New York friends, releasing albums that reflect his personal growth and experiences. His first album, 'Olden Goldies', reflects his English language learning journey and pays homage to his early punk music influences. His latest release, 'Raccoon Nights', showcases his evolution as a musician and producer, exploring psychedelic-pop with a blend of synthesizers and new wave overtones.
Billiam is a bullet train that's flying straight off the tracks straight into a loop de loop that's both on fire and underwater. He’s been putting out a slew of LPs, 7 inches and Cassettes since 2020 that mash equal parts 80s New Wave, Lo-Fidelity Power Pop and head splitting Punk into a bloodstain on the wall shaped like Bugs Bunny
