The inaugural Up the Guts epic road trip is here, where the driver is in charge of the music, Pringles and energy drinks are a necessity and deodorant is strictly enforced.
Conceived by Pretty Littles frontman Jack Parsons and James Clarke as a throwback to the grassroots touring Aussie pub rock was built upon, the tour features ScotDrakula, Scott and Charlene’s Wedding, Ali E and Ben Wright Smith.
Leading the pack is the Jack Parsons and Jo Syme collaboration, Jack, Jo & Friends. A series of music development workshops will also take place.
The Vine, Bendigo – July 26; The Bridge Hotel, Castlemaine – July 27; and The Loft, Warrnambool – July 28. For full details, hit uptheguts.com.au.
