If bands were food, Oscar Galt and the Eventual Somethings would be the greasy kebab you order while drunk at three in the morning – filthy, yet undeniably delicious. As pioneers of ‘sarcastic gutter rock’, the shabby-chic Melbourne four-piece fuse an enigmatic mix of blues, grunge, old school punk and rock together in a potent manner, and draw from the works of iconic songwriters like Nick Cave and Tim Freedman. What’s more, they do it in suits. Galt and his Eventual Somethings – university friends Alex Biggs, Michael Hood and Hollie Joyce, formed amidst a sea of solo projects in 2013. Produced by Mark Lang (Skipping Girl Vinegar) and indie whiz-kid Nick Huggins (Oscar+Martin, Kid Sam), they present their first single “Bodyguard”, a raucous rock anthem of love, disdain and those dreaded romantic obligations. The track forms part of the group’s self-titled EP, which they will be releasing with a launch at the Northcote Social Club on Sunday 19th October.
