Rikochetz Events is an active branch of Queensland Local Bands. At this stage, we operate for no profit with any monies made after costs going back into the venue and the local music scene. We want to provide a place for local talent to play and get a go, as well as a place for local youth to sample the talent on the Coast. We also welcome bands who want to visit the Sunshine Coast and want exposu

re outside of their home towns. But we do tend to showcase a lot more bands from the heavier end of the spectrum...metal, punk, hardcore...simply because of the interest shown by so many bands and the lack of venues to play at. It will be a regular event, every fortnight, Saturdays 5:00PM to 10:00PM at the Nambour QCWA Hall (10 Short Street) in the centre of town. It is an all ages venue that is strictly drug & alcohol free. We also provide professional event security who liase regularly with local police to keep it as safe as we can for the kids, bands and local community. Get behind it and we can really encourage all the local talent that we have here and allow these struggling bands to share their gift.

Wow!
What a fu***ng night.
Not sure where to even start but here goes.
Last night was supposed to be xlosure for Rikochetz Events . Started in 2009 and reluctantly stopped 2013 . Watching my best friends George, Angus, Sam and Casey grow up and become amazing adults who do so much for the music scene still today. Makes me so proud.
Meeting the Scasm crew and making new friends that I know will be a forever thing.
The bands last night absolutely smashed it and throw in the fact it was fu***ng 30 degrees in the venue , they all still gave everyone a night to remember.
The underground metal and hard core scene is alive and thriving up here on the Sunshine Coast and last night was a testament to that.
Hells Horizon, you guys opened and gave us the first taste of where the night was going. You are so down to earth and also so driven . You guys set the tone for the day and then stuck around to the very end and supported every band after you. This decency is rare and I was so glad to see it existed and to meet such talented funny, fun to hang with guys. All promoters should take note of this and know that this Hells Horizon is here to stay!

Rimmy Grasa, Once again you guys proved how talented and energetic a set should be and also stuck around to share the support. You guys are amazing and never fail to deliver . Thank you so much for playing our show ❤️

Vomit Bomb, I was looking for crazy and talented andI found it in you guys.
You made my whole day with your energy and the way you engaged an entire new place that had not seen you guys play before, well man, you went above and beyond. I am so happy to have taken the time to keep looking for a band to add to the show as my choice and then nailing it with you guys! Again, another band that played and stayed. Thank you so much for the privilege of giving Sunny Coast a look at the talent and comedy of V.B.

Defiant Ground, Man , you guys just punched out a raw energy I haven't seen in a long time. Your charismatic, thought provoking lyrics and delivery was really a blessing and you all gave 💯 in a venue that was hotter than hell. You kept it real and you held the crowd throughout your entire set. Thank you for that experience 🙏

Viola Inertia, I hadn't seen your set before and now I'm buying your music. F**k there is some crazy good talent in qld right now. Those cleans were up there with some of the best I've heard. You took me by surprise and in a good way.
You guys are going places, would not be surprised to see you on the line on the next Good Things in the next year.
Thank you for playing and thank you for your ongoing support to the music scene.

Flesh Torrent, So once again you just smashed the place. Them vox!!! Holy f**k. I cannot recommend you guys enough to all promoters everywhere in Australia. You deliver the punch, you support the scene, you're all amazing individuals who just fu***ng SMASH it.
F**king 30 degrees in the room and u guys get everyone moshing . That's a tough job but of course, Flesh Torrent just pull that kinda set off everytime.
Thank you guys for playing that hellfire set.

308, F**king energy plus! Another band that got the fans moving and forgetting how fu***ng hot it was. You guys have been around for a long time and I finally got to catch your set. It was worth the wait. Thank you so much for doing this for so long and always delivering massive sets to your fans.
Thanks so much guys for playing our show.

The 5th Column, Well f**k guys, I kinda feel like anything I say here is considered bias coz your my bros.
But f**k it. I love Nick's progression into the band and I love how Ricky just turns into a fu***ng machine and annihilates the drums and George your guitar skills have come full circle. I always thought u should do vox, and I still do, but man you can play. Always reminding me of Tom Morello the way you hold your guitar way up high. The new vox definitely fit the group and I wish you guys stability this time, because your talent is there but while you also run shows and work it's hard to tweak your band to the where it can be. You all got the energy and the charismatic style and I can't wait to see you guys play a full set when you find time to take 5th Column to the next level.
Thank you for playing the show guys. I love each and every one of you 💛

Product of Neglect, I caught 10 minutes of your set unfortunately. I'm so sorry, but by that time the heat won and I couldn't stand another minute of that humidity. Canberra has made me a soft c**k as far as the weather goes 🙄. Luckily since I was staying in the rooms above I could hear you and I have seen several live streams that George sent me over time. I was glad to buy a tshirt as they were stunning, but I gifted it so I need another one 🙂.
Thank you guys for being part of the scene and for being such cool guys to talk to. I DO intend to see one of your full sets, that's a promise.

So that's everyone! You are all wonderful people from the bands to the fans to the Scasm crew and to the staff that worked the bar. You gave me and so many others a night of great memories and with that said I think we need to do this again!
But this time in winter 🤣

Yeah I guess I just announced another fest that will play in July. Sorry George, but you know how I hate goodbyes so let's do 1 more!

Love to you all. And may 2024 be the year you need it to be.

Much love and respect, Alex

So it's been a while since posting and it seems that life has done a complete circle and Rikochetz will combine with SCASM to bring forth to you guys a huge "End and Thank you to all " festival which will happen hopefully in January and it will be the one to be remembered.

I'm glad to be back supporting the local scene again and making sure that all things fair and new are integrated. That's what we stood for, the under dogs, the lack of venues, the lack of support for certain genres and we bridged the gap that kept so many apart.

I honestly could not have done it without my good friends ( family) who 10 years ago were only just learning the game and watching and learning how there shouldn't be politics in music, there shouldn't be support only for ones own band and learning how to be fair promoters in a cut-throat industry that was usually out to just make $$$ for themselves and never the musicians.
Well they learnt , they implemented the code and they make me prouder than I could ever be.
10 years later you have SCASM who lived out their dreams when they were young and now are making dreams come true for others in that stage of their lives.

To do this for any other reason but the music, is to do it an injustice.
Music is what bonds us and music is what can heal so many struggles that we all face.
A united front in the music scene is a huge accomplishment and should be viewed as progress for future generations of musicians trying to get some exposure for a band that is their life's calling.
It wasn't always an easy task, but I don't regret the memories and good times that I was fortunate in being part of, fortunate enough to give to bands that were continually looked past because they were unknowns and didn't conform to certain circles.
F**k that. Everyone is equal . Everyone is welcome to be heard and given exposure because if you can believe in yourself, I can believe in you too.

Hope to see you all soon when we drop the news of what's coming your way.
This one is for you guys that support the local music scene and want to see SCASM take it from where Rikochetz left off.

Thank you all for the great times and the cherished memories .
