PAUL BOMBIG

The launch show brings together some of Melbourne's most respected musicians for what promises to be an electric evening. Joining Bombig on stage will be guitarist Andrew Shields, percussion maestro Louis Spencely, the legendary bass player known simply as Em Diggidy, and a host of Melbourne's finest — a lineup that reflects the deep roots Bombig has grown across the city's live circuit over the years.

The night opens with gothic Spaghetti-Western quintet Partner — fresh off a sold-out debut show that turned heads across Naarm's music scene. Unapologetically powerful and hauntingly cinematic, Partner set the tone for an evening that refuses to play it safe.

Second on the bill is Melbourne cosmic duo Golden Turtle — inspired by a dream of a space turtle with galaxies in its shell — whose album 10 Chiefs blends psychedelic jazzy prog rock with groove, funk, and electronic elements into something genuinely unlike anything else in the city. If you've never seen GT live, this is your moment.

Paul Bombig closes the night with the full album launch set — guitars up, volume loud, and no more lip service.
