ALT ROCK'N ft. THE IANS

ALLY OOP MGMT presents THE IANS are a Naarm/Melbourne-based band of pirates who simply play very, very, very good high-energy punk rock. Formed by childhood friends, Red Jacket Rick (vocals/guitar) and Ratty Redbeard (bass/vocals), the band holds a rich (secret) lore and has reached its highest evolution with powerhouses Red Ocelot aka Black Jacket Red (guitar), Magpie Zac (drums) and Dushan, The Gypsy (guitar). The only thing tighter than this tight-knit crew is their command of their craft and stage. Creatively, THE IANS worship anything wild and free. Their compelling songwriting evokes a spirit of adventure and risk in their audience, aided heavily by high-octane, debaucherous, semi-interactive performances. The rough edges of the band are often balanced with poignant themes, lyrics and sounds, creating a unique blend of hi-T energy and vulnerability. For fans of Nirvana, The Strokes, or Viagra Boys. The band had a supercharged 2025, signing on with Laneway Music and releasing a new track every 6 to 8 weeks. INDTIKO With a firm nod to the musical era that spawned the likes of Pil, Wire, Pavement, Joy Division, Roxy Music, Minutemen,Fugazi, and many more. INDTIKO can be best described as a rousing concoction of pulsating rhythms , epic guitar sounds, deep water carnival sonic synths and occasionally discordant melodies. All fronted by a poetic semi unhinged preacher man who promises no real salvation.
