June of 44 / A Broken Sail / Kodiak Empire @ The Brightside

Weeknight shows, particularly those falling late in the week, can be a frustrating, tiring affair. Occasionally though, a band or artist comes along that makes the lack of sleep worthwhile, June of 44 are one such band. Despite playing to a criminally small, but highly appreciative crowd, the band put on a hell of a show. Joining the band on support were Brisbane’s Kodiak Empire and Sydney’s A Broken Sail.

Fleeting Persuasion

Fleeting Persuasion is the latest project of prolific Melbourne-based creative James Spencer Harrison who has also released several well-received albums, singles and EPs under the J M S Harrison moniker. The last of which, 2017’s Traced Out, was leading James towards a denser and richer full-band sound. That inspired a change of name and Fleeting Persuasion was born.
