Gavin Bowles: Slack-Off Sundays

Blue Mountains based troubadour Gavin Bowles has made a name for himself over the past decade as an accomplished songwriter and performer—including several national tours, considerable community radio play across the country and as frontman for Sydney Rock trio 'Picture Perfect', among various other projects.

More recently Gavin has established an exciting solo career. 2018 saw the release of his debut solo EP "King of Nothing", described by Haze Mag as "...seamlessly walking into strut-worthy blues guitars.....his lyrics convey the sophistication of a modern day hybrid of Paul Kelly and Elvis Costello". 2019 saw the release of the single and accompanying film clip "Slave"—flaunting a rockabilly swagger, but rooted in indie-rock and pop sensibilities, “Slave” boasts a cool confidence and non-chalance, while lyrically pondering ones flaws and neuroses with wit, sarcasm and charm.

Over the past 3 years Gavin has lived in the heart of North Melbourne, Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains—soaking in the atmospheres, sights, smells and sounds of differing urban and suburban living and music scenes. With over a decade of touring and recording under his belt in various groups and solo, Gavin (and his backing band “The Distractions”) exhibits a refined live show, toting songs of personal triumphs and tribulations and an idiosyncratic view on modern life, always with a guitar lick and smirk in tow.

Slack-Off Sundays:
The ever-dreaded Monday may be looming and you can't sleep in tomorrow morning but that doesn't mean you can't have a sneaky night out right? The vibe is casual, there's cold beer on tap (and the biggest range of beer in the Mountains in the fridge), and the kitchen will be pumpin'. Head along to Aunty Ed's every Sunday between 6:00 & 8:00 pm for Slack-Off Sundays and squeeze every last drop out of the weekend.
