The Neptune Power Federation

Like all great threats to decency, the church of The Neptune Power Federation was born far from the dull gaze of the masses. Operating out of dive bars and biker clubhouses, playing to troubled souls with dirty hair and crude intentions, their high-volume psychedelic gospel spread like a glorious subterranean infection. In the pulpit is Imperial Priestess Screaming Loz Sutch, her tiny frame belying the colossal power of her scorching oratory, spoken in languages assumed through centuries of time travel. Her backing band consists of battle-worn soldiers from the Australian underground punk, stoner, and metal scenes who have long forgotten their former existences and are now forever beholden to the mesmeric lure of the Imperial Priestess.Halloween is coming early to The Hamo on October 21st; and The Neptune Power Federation have enlisted the help of Nunchukka Superfly - the fantastically explosive yet melodic psychedelic side-trip of The Hard-Ons' Ray Ahn & Peter 'Blackie' Black.Rounding out the lineup are Newcastle's own The Howlin' Rats (who just released their debut album Should Have Smelt A Rat) and Maids Of Horror.
