 For those who haven’t yet caught onto Young Griffo, they are a Brisbane based three piece band playing original hard hitting indie rock.
I first came across the band at a gig in Toowoomba at the Irish Club Hotel in mid-2011, and although the gig was poorly attended that night, the guys put in a memorable live performance.
The Tiny Islands EP was self-released by the band in late October 2011, containing 6 original and powerful songs, and defiantly no fillers.

 The premier screening of this unique short film, independently made about the 1980's music in Rockhampton Queensland, focusing particularly on the music life of Cameron Borg.
Cameron is not only someone with a punk rock music history, he runs an independent music label and fanzine, and is a writer with several published books of poetry. More than that he is an example of how success in life can be measured not through government support or corporate sponsorship or amounts of units sold, but rather through what Ian MacKaye calls 'the doing' of things.
Entry is via donation. All money raised goes to the upcoming Cameron Borg and Steve Towson Queensland 2012 tour.
