Crafted by internationally acclaimed writer and leading trans voice Travis Alabanza, known for their work in “Burgerz,” Overflow promises to be an explosive journey into the world of sisterhood and public toilets. Breaking barriers, this marks Australia’s inaugural theatre production entirely fashioned by an all-trans and gender-non-conforming cast and creative team, a groundbreaking feat in the realm of Australian theatre.
Led by the talented Proud Gunggari, Lardil, and Kullilli Woman, Thea Raveneau (Rosie), the 70-minute performance dives deep into the often-overlooked place of Trans women in both the feminist movement and society at large. Overflow doesn’t shy away from engaging in complex and vital conversations, offering a poignant yet humorous exploration of women’s bathrooms, questioning who is allowed in and who is kept out.
Caught in a flooding toilet cubicle, Rosie finds herself determined not to be rescued again. As panic rises and help seems distant, she immerses herself in memories of bathroom encounters, from drunken heart-to-hearts by dirty sinks to friendships forged in front of crowded mirrors.
Directed by Dino Dimitriadis, Overflow truly offers a thought-provoking tour of women’s bathrooms, probing the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion.
After receiving acclaim at Sydney Festival 2024 and Midsumma Festival at Arts Centre Melbourne, Overflow now presents a historic moment in Australian theatre as part of Geelong Arts Centre’s SEASON 2024.

‘It was a wild year’: Floodlights’ meteoric ascent to Melbourne music royalty
In the ever-evolving realm of indie rock, Melbourne’s Floodlights have not only found their place but have established themselves as a radiant force to be reckoned with. The past year has seen them bask in the glow of success, securing accolades, including the prestigious Australian Music Prize Shortlist nomination, for their second album, Painting of My Time.
Floodlights’ breakout year was marked by a cascade of achievements and critical acclaim. Garnering Album of the Week on Triple R and Feature Album on 2SER, RTRFM, and SYN FM, their sonic prowess extended globally with praise from NME and Rolling Stone (US). Described by The Guardian as “deadly serious, politically engaged, and not afraid to rock out,” Floodlights’ unique blend of intensity and artistry has captured the attention of music enthusiasts around the world.
Floodlights Tour Dates
Friday 2 February – Archies Creek Hotel – Bunurong Country/Archies Creek, VIC
Saturday 3 February – Torquay Hotel – Wadawurrung Country/Torquay, VIC
Saturday 10 February – Laneway Festival – Wurundjeri Biik/Melbourne, VIC
8-10 March – A Festival Called Panama – Pyemmairre Country/Golconda, TAS
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
The past year witnessed Floodlights conquering stages around the world, from iconic festivals like Green Man and End of the Road to headline tours across Australia, the UK, and Europe. Sold-out shows became the norm, with support slots for the likes of Pavement and The Killers.
“It was a wild year indeed! We had lots of special shows but our time in the UK/EU was hard to trump. Greenman and End Of The Road were two festivals that really imprinted into the memory – both beautiful locations with lineups full of bands we’d been eager to see for years! The Australian album tour was also an incredible experience,” vocalist Louis Parsons says.
“Our two hometown shows at Melbourne’s/Naarm’s Corner Hotel were amazing and felt like a strong step up as a band. We also played a show in Alice/Mparntwe which we loved and were lucky to spend the five days leading up to it in a friend’s backyard, going on day and overnight hikes into the beautiful country.”
The band’s recent performance at the Meredith Music Festival in particular left an indelible mark on Floodlights. The anticipation leading up to the festival, with its storied history and personal significance, added weight to the occasion.
“Meredith was a moment we will never forget,” Parsons adds. “We all felt the weight of the festival in the lead up, with high expectations due to its history, and our own personal history with attending the festival. But once we stepped out on stage we let the magic of the amphitheater do its thing.
“That kind of recognition is hard to take in and we are so grateful.”

On their evolution and the impact of sharing stages with iconic bands, Parsons says; “We’ve evolved a lot through all these wonderful experiences. Naturally, we’ve absorbed things that have ultimately influenced our sound and the way we write. Through our music we’ve been very lucky to be able to meet some extraordinary people, witness some mind blowing acts and take in the diversity of all these different places. I think it takes a while to process all the information that you take in, but as it filters through it certainly has a strong impact on the band’s evolution.”
Playing alongside iconic bands like Pavement, The Killers, and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever provided Floodlights with valuable insights into the world of large-scale indie tours. The band admires the balance these established acts strike between professionalism and a laid-back approach, shaping Floodlights’ vision for their own future touring endeavors.
“We got a cool insight into how a large indie band tours when playing with Pavement. They run a tight ship but also seem super relaxed, enjoy each destination, and also don’t take it too seriously. Same goes for other bands we are lucky enough to play with. We certainly have a stronger vision of what the future of our touring looks like from these experiences.”
Formed in Melbourne in 2018, the five-piece, comprised of Parsons (vocals/guitar), Ashlee Kehoe (guitar/vocals), Joe Draffen (bass), Sarah Hellyer (pianist) and Archie Shannon (drums), burst onto the scene with their debut album, From a View, in 2020. The record received acclaim for its raw energy, introspective lyricism, and the band’s ability to seamlessly navigate between jangly guitar riffs and dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes.
Painting of My Time, Floodlights’ second album, serves as a testament to the band’s evolution and maturity. Recorded live on a 24-track tape machine at Soundpark Studios in Melbourne, the album merges rock ‘n’ roll rawness with dynamic post-punk and art-rock. The addition of trumpet, grand piano, violin, synth, and the ever-present harmonica enriches their sound, resulting in a compelling and broadened musical journey.
The album’s themes of personal turbulence, self-exploration, and escapism through the Australian landscape resonate deeply. Floodlights’ lyricists, Ashlee Kehoe and Louis Parsons, craft honest and purposeful narratives that transcend mere words.
“Painting of My Time is much more focused on people close to me, if not them then myself,” says Parsons of the sophomore album. “Ash and I both write the lyrics for our music, we have a good chemistry with this and can feed off each other for inspiration. I enjoy writing as a form of unpacking what I feel which perhaps differs from our previous work which was a little more outwards facing observation.”
The songwriting process is a collaborative effort within Floodlights. With a shared love for writing, Parsons and Kehoe draw from their extensive collection of poems and stories to craft lyrics that resonate with the band’s evolving sound. The group dynamic ensures that each song undergoes a transformative journey from its origins to the final composition.
“Ash and I both share a love for writing and have hundreds of poems and little stories in our lyric bank. It’s my favourite form of self expression because I love having the time to properly articulate myself as I’m not so good on the spot. Writing is cathartic for me and helps me to digest the endless current of stimuli in this non stop world, a bit cliche but yeah,” Parsons says.
“Although it differs from time to time, it often starts with a poem or some lyrics we have written which we then try to match with the right sound. One of us will have an idea which we then work on all together. I’m often amazed by how different a song can turn out from its origins, something that makes the group writing process so exciting.”
The band’s intimacy allows their storytelling to flow seamlessly from songwriting to resonating finales, capturing audiences in quiet moments and propelling them into wild sonic adventures. Floodlights have become a collective favourite, with their unique blend of passion, pace, and purpose leaving an indelible mark on listeners.

As Floodlights gear up for two headline shows in Bunurong Country/Archies Creek and Wadawurrung Country/Torquay this February, as well as an appearance at Laneway Festival, the anticipation is palpable. The journey through their music is an immersive experience, and these shows are your chance to witness the magic firsthand.
“We’ll be road testing a few new songs, as well as playing some of the back catalogue. Both shows are about to sell out, so if you’re reading this, you haven’t got long.”
“We’ve got a bunch of Australian tour dates, plus UK/Europe dates to announce soon which is super exciting,” Parsons adds. “And we’ll be recording our third record very, very soon. The tours being planned will give us a chance to sprinkle some of the new songs into our current set, so punters can have an early taste of what’s to come.”
Floodlights, with their powerful lyrics and impressive musicianship, are undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the indie music landscape. Keep an eye out for their upcoming shows, as they continue to illuminate the global stage with their evocative sound and compelling narratives.

‘Well worth the wait’: Americana On The Bellarine returns for a night of roots, blues, and folk under the stars
Prepare for an evening drenched in the soulful sounds of Americana music as some of the Bellarine’s most talented songwriters and artists grace the stage for the second edition of Americana On The Bellarine, the brainchild of Ocean Grove singer/songwriter Andrea Robertson.
Set against the stunning Bellarine skies and the picturesque backdrop of the Potato Shed in Drysdale, this boutique festival promises an unforgettable evening of roots, blues, folk, and country music on February 17, 2024.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.

For those not in the know, Americana Music, often dubbed Alt-Country Music, is a genre that gracefully weaves together blues, roots, country, folk, rock, rockabilly, gospel, and soul. It’s a musical odyssey under the expansive umbrella of diverse genres, creating an eclectic and emotionally resonant sonic experience.
“It’s interesting that a lot of people still aren’t exactly sure what the term ‘Americana music’ means, so I see this as an opportunity to de-mystify that a little,” Robertson says. “Because at the end of the day, it’s just a great blend of multiple genres, typically blues, roots, country, folk based but can also be elements of bluegrass, soul, rock and gospel.
“I don’t even particularly want to peg myself as an Americana artist because that can sometimes limit you as an artist. I’m a songwriter and a storyteller, I personally have so many influences from multiple genres, and I think that is evident in my own music.
“But sometimes you do need to be able to give yourself a label, and so, Americana seems to the be best fit for me. Just as it is for the other artists on this lineup too.”
Celebrating Americana with a local lens, the festival boasts a lineup of exceptional artists who effortlessly embody the Americana genre. Two standout performers, Andrea Robertson and Sarah Carroll, are set to steal the spotlight at the event, showcasing their exceptional songwriting and musical prowess. Also performing on the night will be singer-songwriter powerhouse Gabby Steel and crowd favourite, The Mojo Corner.
Returning for its second year this February, Americana On The Bellarine was initially conceived by Robertson over three years ago with plans for a live event in mid-2020. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted these plans, prompting Robertson to pivot and host a livestream event in July 2020. The event, which featured a lineup of five artists, aimed to provide a source of joy during the challenging lockdown period.
“The desire to create an event like Americana On The Bellarine as a live, ticketed event had been an idea of mine for quite some time, with the hope that it would be something that would become an annual event. An event that lovers of original music of the many genres that make up Americana music to mentally note on their calendars and look forward to come along to each year,” Robertson explains.
Speaking about the livestream experience, Robertson expressed, “It gave me a focus, a purpose for my music, and the opportunity to reach out to other artists and audiences at the same time.”
Despite facing setbacks due to lockdowns and outbreaks, Robertson’s persistence paid off in 2022 when she secured funding through Creative Victoria. This paved the way for her vision to come to life as a live, face-to-face, ticketed event in 2023. Last year’s festival showcased the talents of artists such as Sarah Carroll, Alister Turrill, Annie-Rose Maloney, Nathan Seeckts, and, of course, Robertson herself.
“I just had to let it keep brewing and wait until the right time. That finally happened in February last year, and it was well worth the wait.”

Now back for round two and set to take place at a new location – the Potato Shed in Drysdale, offering an enchanting outdoor stage experience. Here, audiences can immerse themselves in the music while lounging on picnic rugs, enjoying nibbles, and sipping drinks from the licensed bar.
“The venue last year (BrewiColo in Ocean Grove) was the perfect venue for its first show with an audience, and the owners were amazingly supportive. They are terrific people and very community minded,” Robertson says.
“But amazingly, we sold out prior to the event and ended up with almost 40 people on the wait list, so it felt like finding somewhere a bit bigger would make sense, so that we could expand our audience a little more – without going too big. A slightly bigger venue with lots of parking and more facilities to cater for the size, a space for musicians to put their gear before and after playing.
“And the other main factor was that The Potato Shed have an amazing outdoor stage which will be perfect for Americana On The Bellarine to become a twilight event held under the stars. But they also have the ability to pivot and shift indoors to their impressive theatre space should the weather not be in our favour. Weather is always one of the hardest things to work around for outdoor events where we live!”
Rain, hail or shine, don’t miss out on the Americana On The Bellarine – an enchanting fusion of genres under the Bellarine stars.
Americana On The Bellarine takes place on February 17, 2024 at Potato Shed, Drysdale. Get your tickets here.

The Sydney Morning Herald declared WICKED “Ingenious and beautiful,” while Australian Stage hailed it as “Triumphant, a dazzling, spectacular production.” Limelight applauded the “Razzle-dazzle spectacle, uplifting girl-power,” and the Australian Financial Review lauded the “Exquisite comic timing, impressive, magical.” Studio 10 raved, “Absolutely incredible. Extraordinary.”
Celebrating over two decades since its Broadway premiere, WICKED continues to be one of the world’s most successful and beloved musicals. With over 100 major awards under its belt, including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards®, and six Drama Desk Awards, WICKED is hailed as “A Complete Triumph!
