Mate”.Plastic Cheeses are a relatively new band concocted by members fromFootscray, the Otways and the Surf Coast. Lethargic and cathartic - theywrite simple, catchy songs about the happenings and observations ofeveryday life with a distinct tinge of Australiana.Utilising Plastic Cheeses’ usual wry, laconic writing style, new single“You Need A Break.. Mate” discusses how themes of distress, anxietyand existential dread can manifest itself into uncharacteristic behaviourfull of anger and combativeness. Put simply by songwriter Paul, “This isa song about getting into fights with strangers on the internet”.Joining Plastic Cheeses for a Sunday arvo full of free fun and janglingaplenty are new pals, Malibu Spacey.Melbourne/Naarm band Malibu Spacey make music that’s all jangly 12string acoustic guitars, intricate lead lines, three-part vocal harmoniesand noodly bass grooves. The sound takes pieces of 70s country rock,folk and dreamy indie rock, fitting somewhere in the world of artists likeCass McCombs and Angel Olsen.Pop into the front bar of The Tote from 3pm to join in on the fun.
