You may have noticed that there was no Aussie BBQ listed among the CMW Showcases this year. Well as of Thursday we're thrilled to announce that there will be an Aussie Showcase after all. The Aussie Night Out Showcase will take place on Thursday, April 20th with doors at 6:00 pm at the newly relocated The Hideout!

We'll be onsite interviewing bands and taking in the live music all night and we'd love to see you there.

First on the bill is Aeora, electronic pop with an Aussie twist. Melbourne's Lisa Spencer has been stirring things up in Australia and she's bringing her unique sound to the Aussie Night Out.

You can also catch Aeora at the Painted Lady later Thursday night.

Alice Ivy the 23-year-old is a singer, guitarist and beat maker and she's quickly developed a cult following in Australia. Come by and see what they're excited about.

She's doing a couple of sets during CMW and then heading to the US for a short tour.

Just after 9:00 pm Quivers take the stage. This is their first visit to Canada and singer-songwriter, Sam J. Nicholson and his band bring a pop sound full of guitar and optimism.

This is the band's first visit to Canada and we hope they feel like they've found a second home here and come back very soon.

Eliza & The Delusionals bring us Aussie indie-rock with a pop hint that gets stuck in your head. They'll be on stage at 9:50 pm.

Founded in 2015 the band is interesting to watch but it's the music that keeps our interest long term. Check them out online and then check them out live.

Next on the bill is Bad Pony. Brand new to me, I'm excited to see what the indie pop/rock band bring to their live performance.

The five-piece call Sydney home and they've been together since 2012. Their new album " Deficiency " is another step forward for the Aussie band.

Just after 11:00 Silver Love Club take the stage. The band, formerly known as Mabel are bringing a new name, a new band member and new music. I'm expecting all the energy and enthusiasm I've seen in the past and more. They're one of my favourite bands period and I can hardly wait!

They're playing four sets during the week so check the schedule and make sure you include this band on your "Must See" list.

Letters to Lions bio reads "Described as a concoction of swooning aggression and dance pop sensibility with comparisons to Kings of Leon, WU LYF, last Dinosaurs and Foals; the boys may just become your new favorite indie band." We're definitely in!

A 4-piece indie band from the Southern beaches of Sydney, the band consists of Curt- drums, Joel- Guitar/vox,
Jackson- bass and Adam- guitar/vox.

Heading past the midnight hour Heart Beach bring their #indiepop #oceanpop #skuzzpop #janglepop #postpunk #newwave #coolwave sound to Aussie Night Out. A fun, interesting, simple sound that draws you in. Heart Beach are from Hobart Australia and they are Claire McCarthy (vocals/bass), Jonathon McCarthy (guitar/vocals), Christopher Wessing (lead guitar/drums).

It's going to be a late one and I'm thrilled that The Dead Love are going to be staying up late with me. We met up with these guys last year at the Aussie BBQ and I fell hard for their music. Aussie rock at it's best. They put on a show and always leave me wanting more. This year they're playing four shows during CMW so you have no excuse for not seeing this band!

Rounding out the night is Pretty City. We just did a CMW 5 Quick Questions with the band and we're looking forward to meeting and seeing them in person.

Their CMW bio describes their sound as psych indie rock and all we can say is, show up and see 'em!

We'll keep you posted on any scheduling updates.
