About this concert
Favoured State are bringing their energetic and erratic brand of post-punk to The Tote Upstairs for the first time to launch “It’s A Mess”, their debut EP. A powerhouse of jerky, angular guitar riffs, groovy bass lines, and erratic yet formidable rhythms, “It’s A Mess” explores numerous global issues prompted by dystopian ideals, the irony and hypocrisy spouted by those in power, and the various forces of oppression that we have all experienced at one time or another. Playing their first shows in 2023, FS took to stages all over Victoria and have played with interstate acts like Radium Dolls, and international acts such as Berlin’s S.U.G.A.R.Joining them for the show are Blowers and Echo Social Club.It's going to be a whirlwind of emotions: you're going to feel pumped, erratic, and exhilarated - but FS ask you: what's your favoured state?

Blowers Biography
Garage punk that blows, from down under.
Blowers serve up another 14 slices of raw, lo-fi garage punk with their second LP, ‘Blown Again’. Out April 14, 2023 on vinyl, tape & digital via Chaputa! Records (worldwide) & Spooky Records (Australia).
Capitalising on their triple vocal attacks, blistering guitars and fast-paced tunes, ‘Blown Again’ is a tongue-in-cheek earworm of a ride laced with sick humour and shit-stirs. The album is chock full of “fuck you” themes, with tracks like ‘Shut The Fuck Up’, ‘Wipe My Ass’, ‘Slice’n’Dice’ and ‘Bad 4 U’ that jump off the record and grab you by the throat.
Take a dive into the warped minds of Kit Convict (vox, guitar), Andrew Porter (vox, guitar), Shannon Aswell (vox, drums) and Pip McMullan (bass), who are often found in the dive bars and shit-holes of Melbourne, Australia.
‘Blown Again’ is Blowers’ second LP, which follows up from their debut self-titled LP released to acclaim & disgust back in 2021 (Chaputa! Records/ Spooky Records).For fans of: The Spits, Jay Reatard, Wipers, Mean Jeans, Oblivians, The Cavemen, Wet Ones.
Blowers: “So damn fast, so damn raw, so damn rude, so damn good.”
