February 10, 2011 at 8pm to February 11, 2011 at 12am
2010 saw Melbourne nouveau yacht rockers, the Vaudeville Smash, establish themselves as one of Australia's truly unique and up and coming bands. They have toured the country relentlessly since the release of their EP in March and have garnered a legion of die hard, dancing fans where ever they have played. 2011 looks set to be even bigger with the Smash heading to the U.S. for the South by South West conference in March, as well as being invited to play at both the Apollo Bay and St Kilda…See More

THE BEARDS (SA)http://www.myspace.com/thebeardsclubThe Beards are a bearded four-piece folk rock band who only plays songs about beards and having beards.

- About me:
- Since late 2006, these Gold Coast lads have been punching out sets in venues all over S/E Queensland and Northern NSW. Whether it’s heart-felt ballads or catchy rock numbers, Dogtags pride themselves on an entertaining and energetic live show. While spreading their brand of melodic indie rock, they have managed to accumulate a loyal fan base.
Their distinctive sound comes from a large melting pot of influences, from Aussie rock icons such as Powderfinger and Jebediah, a dash from roots artists like Xavier Rudd and John Butler Trio and a good helping of grunge and alternative.
Since their initial conception, Dogtags have supported the likes of The Fumes, The Vaudeville Smash, The Beards, The Winnie Coopers, Skybombers and Star Assassin as well as sharing the stage with Butterfingers, Bodyjar and Resin Dogs at the Loud 08 music festival at Carrara Stadium.
Some of the venues they've played include Hard Rock Café, Miami Shark Bar, Fisherman's Wharf Tavern, Waxy’s Irish Pub, Chophouse, Swell Tavern, Brannigans Tavern, Airport Tavern, Palm Beach Hotel, Mermaid Beach Tavern, Pacific Hotel Yamba, The Jubilee Hotel, Fat Louie’s, Gilhooleys Albert Street, The Hive & The Sands Tavern.
2009 saw Dogtags let loose off the chain, being included on two compilations by Starving Kids Records, “Live at the Hive” and “Have You Heard Volume 5”. They also competed in the final of the Loud 09 band comp at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, where only 11 bands from over 120 (from Brissie, Gold Coast & Sunny Coast) made it through to play alongside the likes of Mammal, Pez & 360 and The Funkoars.
They are currently working on new material to record an EP to be released in 2010. In the meantime do yourself a favour and go check them out because Dogtags are a unique live experience that you won’t forget.
