It was the battle of the decades in the Workers band room on the night of Friday the 13th. Jervis Bay charmers Debbies fused their Skeggs-reminiscent-surf-punk with looking like they’d just strolled off the set of Puberty Blues, whilst front-woman Hallie appeared like a late 90s fever dream sporting Gwen Stefani No Doubt era vibes, and finally, the cheeky Adelaide duo TOWNS stayed true to blink-182 influences in baggy trousers and flannies and performed a phenomenal cover of Smashmouth’s ‘Allstar’. 

It was a night of firsts for a lot of people - a first gig back for fans, a first sit-down gig for many (if not all), and a first sip of Brandy for frontman, Quin Grunden of Melbourne’s indie-surf rock trio, The Grogans.
