RTRFM 92.1’s In The Pines returns for its 25th year on Sunday, April 29, 2018.
The community radio station’s local music festival will take place once again in the idyllic surrounds of UWA’s Somerville Auditorium, featuring 20 of Perth’s best across two stages.
The first round of acts playing the iconic event was announced during Breakfast with Caitlin this morning.
Returning to the In The Pine stage, 25 years after they played the first ever Pines, Rosemary Beads are ready to bring their melodic, moody vibes to the stage once again. Having reformed a number of years ago now, seeing the Rosemary Beads is still an ultimate pleasure.
Lovers of the weird and wonderful, RTRFM celebrates those who do things differently, Furchick is Perth’s premier experimental artist, someone who changes the way we think about instruments and how music can be composed. Join her and her band of musical misfits as they take us on a sonic journey. Furchick will also be running musical instrument making workshops for our younger punters throughout the day, inviting them on stage to play when done.
The Tommyhawks are one of Perth most exciting live bands. Their energy is infectious and they bring their magical pop/indie tunes to the Somerville with the energy we want and the energy we need on WA Music’s day of days.
Neo-soul wunderkids Demon Days have been kicking around Perth for just over a year and are part of a new crop of bands that continue to wonder with their spectacular grasp of their musical wants.
A band perhaps not known to everyone but one that made their mark in Perth around 2008, Mile End return to Perth and gigging for perhaps the last time for one special performance at In The Pines. Their epic 7 minute Rumblefish is one of those tunes that defines a space and time in WA music.
It would not be an In The Pines without a band that makes you sit up and say wow. Bolt Gun may just be that band. Their epic two track EP A Man is Wolf to Man blew RTRFM listeners away in late 2017. Sit back and enjoy the majesty of Bolt Gun. Bring your ear plugs.
Garage rock purveyors Thee Loose Hounds will bring their raucous, mind-blowing live show to In The Pines for 2018. Bands that live so close to the edge of it all going wrong are the best bands to watch and Thee Loose Hounds walk that fine line; a line they know very well.
With 10 hours of local music against a stunning background, In The Pines is a perfect place to picnic with friends and get amongst it! Delicious food and drink options will also be available for those that want to dance freely.
We’ll be broadcasting all the happenings live on your radio from 11am-10pm at 92.1, on digital and online at rtrfm.com.au. Presale tickets are available from now from RTRFM.
The second lineup announcement will be announced on Breakfast with Caitlin on April 3rd.
