Anyone know the mum and baby kicked out of the comedy show? A free ticket for them at Riot Baby w/ Hearts and Rockets play The Tote! if they’re keen.

You’ll never need to leave the room at a Riot Baby or a Family Jams show, unless you want to!

What would gigs look like if we built them to be inclusive of multiple generations from the ground up?

If this was you, hit us up for a free ticket for you and your baby for Riot Baby w/ Hearts and Rockets play The Tote!

We need more inclusive spaces for kids and parents to get out and about and enjoy arts and culture!

Family Jams is back!

It's been a busy time since Family Jams Fest last year with a lot going on, but I've got some exciting announcements in the pipeline, so I thought it was a good time to bring back the kid-friendly gig guide email.

If you want to get stuff like this in your inbox, sign up to the list here (http://eepurl.com/ieyn-r), and check out the full gig guide here (https://mailchi.mp/174fc5b51d16/riot-baby-hearts-and-rockets-and-more-family-friendly-gigs).

There are even some sick gigs for today! If you and the kiddos need one last shindig before school tomorrow check out Adam Rudegeair Music's The Bowie Project at the Brunswick Ballroom, or C.O.F.F.I.N Regional ‘N’ Rural Tour - Melbourne/Naarm [ALL AGES - Matinee] at The Tote (bring the hearing protection for the kids at the latter tho!).

If you've got any other hot tips for family-friendly gigs, send them my way.

Other great shows coming up on the list are: Mildlife, , La Descarga, Danny Walsh Banned, Hearts and Rockets, Riot Baby, and FUZZY Sunday Events.

Did You Bring Your Jumper?!

Our newest track is out in the world, featuring our bass player (and frequent dresser-of-children-in-warm-clothing) Rohan on the lead vocals.

The perfect anthem for the cold snap we have just entered in Melbourne.

We wish all the elders well in attempting to dress the children in their care appropriately.

Please listen on the streaming service of your choice, and come and see it live next weekend at the gig!

And how about this sick single cover by ?
