Mood Swing and Chevy Bass have cemented their spot as one of Australia’s most exciting and entertaining live acts and undisputed party starters. The genre-bending live electronic duo conduct their shows like ring masters of a circus, encouraging crowds to surrender their inhibitions to the rhythm and let loose their inner party animals.
Their unique brand of electronic bass music crosses over and infuses multiple genres while they live remix on the spot. Their trademark sets, described as funky in the front and filthy in the back will take you on a journey, kicking off with ghetto funk and glitch-infused party jams and flowing all the way through to filthy & fat house bass lines, all while adding their multi-instrumental skills to give each show a unique live flavour.
But it’s not only their music that has been getting bodies moving and chins wagging. With a penchant for theatrics, each live show is crafted uniquely, featuring wailing keytars, electronic samplers, tribal percussion, banging horn sections, electric cello and dance floor aerobics…you name it, you’re sure to see it at a Mood Swing & Chevy Bass show.
Since their inception in 2015, they have entertained crowds across the globe in the United States, Canada, Europe and home in Australia, playing the likes of Boomtown Fair (UK), Burning Man (USA), Rainbow Serpent, Splendour in the Grass, Earth Frequency Festival, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Subsonic just to name a few. They’ve shared the stage with artists like Claptone, Chris Lake, Sevenn, Shapeless, Opiou & Funk Hunters
2019 saw the duo release their debut EP ‘Bring it on Down’with Brazilian heavyweights, G Mafia Records, with follow-up single ‘Take Ya Back’ released in 2020. Their sophomore recording ‘Talkin Bout’ was released by the leaders of bass heavy, wacky house – Box of Cats – in Decemeber 2021, reaching the top 20 Beatport Bass House Charts

Live music with Billie-Jo Porter Duo
2025-12-24 18:00 - 21:00 (Australia/Sydney) | The Hoey Moey, 84 Ocean Parade, Coffs Harbour, NSW, 2450, Australia
For country girl Billie-Jo Porter, the journey into music has been a natural one. Neighbouring the nation’s country music capital, Tamworth, it seems appropriate that Billie-Jo felt drawn to country music.
Billie-Jo is no stranger to songwriting success. She co-wrote ‘Head Full of Honey’ with Andrew Swift, which peaked at No.7 on The Music Network’s Hot 50 airplay charts. Prior to this, Billie-Jo cut her teeth supporting artists including Hussy Hicks, Gretta Ziller & Riley Catherall and has frequented festivals including Tamworth Country Music Festival and Bello Winter Music Festival, delighting audiences and generating a strong industry buzz.
Her rising success captured the attention of multiple Golden Guitar and Aria Award-winning Shane Nicholson, who produced her latest releases at The Sound Hole studios on the Central Coast.
Billie-Jo’s debut single ‘Feels Like Us’ an upbeat, heart-warming love song co-written with Andrew Blyth at the Dag Sheep Station Songwriters Retreat debuted at No.2 on the Itunes Singer/Songwriter chart, No.1 on AMRAP Regional Chart, No.15 on The Countrytown Music Network Chart and reached the dizzy heights of No.2 on Tamworth own 2TM’s Australian Country Music Chart.
Billie-Jo’s follow-up single, ‘Eyes Wide Open’ is a happy beach-boho, live-and-let-live anthem that will make you want to take off your shoes and enjoy the sunshine with friends.
Now living on the North Coast of NSW, Billie-Jo Porter offers a unique sound by infusing a laid-back beach lifestyle and her country roots. With her sentimental and energetic songwriting, Billie-Jo Porter is a fresh talent ascending new heights, sprinkling joy into the ears of her listeners, taking them on a high-spirited journey of delight, music and love.

Cog Live at the Hoey!

SUN 21ST DEC

DOORS 5pm
Tickets on sale here!
With decades in their wake spanning chart successes, touring with icons of the scene and growing an evergreen fanbase, Sydney-hailing rock trio Cog‘s momentum has never waned, withstanding industry shifts, morphing technology, and a hiatus all without ever losing their trademark vigour.
Recently ticking off a largely sold out and extensive Australian tour in 2024, along with releasing some of their material for the first time ever on vinyl, it’s in 2025 that the trio ascend into a brand new chapter, unveiling their first new music since 2019 with a brand new single, Walk The Line, as well as some brand new headline shows for November and December.
Via Walk The Line, the group’s first new song since the propulsive standalone track Drawn Together released six years ago, Cog dazzle with buoyant soundscapes, oscillating guitars, driving drumwork, and fluid basslines alongside the ever-commanding vocal stylings of Flynn Gower.
An immediate Cog classic with its raw yet blissful dynamic shifts, Walk The Line finds the trio — vocalist Flynn, bassist Luke Gower and drummer Lucius Borich — in their most assured form to date, while also brandishing real-world undertones as Cog reflect on the realities of life as a musician in 2025, as well as looking to what may come next.
“Walk The Line expresses it all for us,” shares Flynn. “Life for the three of us is fucking hard at the moment. The three of us individually are struggling to just survive and keep our heads above water. When you look at the work that goes into a song like this alone, the cost and the general lack of return, it’s all becoming almost impossible for us.”
“Almost everyone I know is in the same boat,” Flynn continues, “they’re on struggle street, scratching their heads and wondering how to survive. The microcosm of the music and arts industry in Australia has gotten especially tough, and we’re all feeling the effects of that.”
“As a band, we are working on stuff, we’re working towards other songs. But at this point in time we really don’t know what the future holds, and we don’t know if this will be the last song. And that’s really what Walk The Line is all about at its core.”
Emerging in the late 90s, Cog‘s enduring legacy on the heavy music landscape has traversed decades, global touring, and a jubilant reunion back in 2016. Via their early EPs, 2000s Pseudo, and parts one and two of 2002’s Just Visiting, the behemoth reputation of the Sydney-hailing trio would be firmly cemented in 2005 in the form of their debut full-length, The New Normal. From here, Cog took the world by storm, relentlessly touring Australia, embarking on overseas runs, igniting stages at Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Homebake, alongside adding a stellar second album release to their repertoire in the form of the certified Gold 2008 opus Sharing Space.
Never ones to rest on their laurels, Cog emerged from a five-year hiatus in 2016, with an entirely sold-out comeback tour across Australia that same year – and some new music soon followed in 2018 via the band’s first new material in a decade: The Middle. From here, Cog have continued to expand their creative spirit, releasing two additional singles, Altered States and Drawn Together, while also remaining active on the touring circuit, including headlining The Other Festival and Thrashville in 2023.
Reaching a milestone in 2023, Cog‘s long road to finally releasing their albums on vinyl spanned a 15-year uphill battle, with the group locked into a contract and awaiting resolution ever since delivering Sharing Space to their label in 2008. And finally, armed with complete ownership of the rights to all of their music, the pressing of Cog‘s sonic legacy onto vinyl also sparked a huge headline run in 2024, with the majority of shows sold out.
