Description:
UsvsTHEM is all about bringing chalk and cheese together to make a surprisingly delicious chalky-cheesey-smoothie. To celebrate their one-year birthday USvsTHEM will be pulling together bands with different sounds in one explosive line up over three weeks. The Vasco Era, have played alongside The Black Keys, The Violent Femmes and You Am I. And this Saturday they play alongside Melbourne super group The Ooga Boogas. The Ooga Boogas are the offshoots of other Melbourne bands, Eddy Current Supression Ring, The Sailors and The Onyas to create a sweaty mash of 60s garage beat-rock mayhem. Thrown in the mix are the runts of the Melbourne band scene, The Frowning Clowns; enough clashing flavours to please everyone.
