Presented by The Little Bird Agency , Art As Catharsis , Soul Trader Entertainment and veri.live magazine , Devil's Kitchen Music Festival is back in Brisbane, at the Beetle Bar , kicking off at midday, Saturday 19 January.



With a recommendation, a warning, or even a promise - "please lubricate your earholes in preparation for this tidy little onslaught" - you'll get to experience the following 14 bands on the day.

The Blackwater Fever is a Brisbane-based, three-piece band who call themselves "rock, blues, soul, alternative". They have released two full-length albums to date. Like them on Facebook here and listen to them online here .

BMX-RAY call themselves "pre post rock ... a riff laden rock 3way", and is another Brisbane-based, three-piece band. Having played in line-ups including one of my local favourite rocktronica bands Galapogos , they'll be worth catching at this event. Like them on Facebook here , and listen to them online here .

Dead End Kings are a Brisbane-based, four-piece band who call themselves "metal / rock / thrash". With influences including Alice in Chains , Down , Helmet , Machine Head , Mastodon , Metallica , and Aussie band The Mark Of Cain , those with heavier tastes will be happy here. Like them on Facebook here .

Death Valley Nights call themselves "rock ... pure and simple" and are a Brisbane-based four-piece band. With lots of old school rock influences including AC/DC , Black Sabbath , Clutch , Faith No More , Frank Zappa , KISS , Motorhead and Thin Lizzy , I'm looking forward to these guys.

The F1-ELEVENS are a four-piece band that hail from the Gold Coast who play speed rock. Sharing a number of influences with Death Valley Nights (AC/DC, Black Sabbath, KISS, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy), there's also punk influences from Zeke and sleaze rock influences from Nashville Pussy .
