Carnival Republic
Can you hear it?…
Drums beating from afar, exciting your ossicular, and the clang and clamor of metal. But look! It’s on bikes and leading the Annerley Junction Fest Parade!
From a time where the age of car has since passed and bicycles reign supreme, Carnival Republic are here to captivate this year’s festival precinct with MU-CYCLE WONDERMENT!
We make our rigs with discarded bicycle frames & unwanted junk, bringing abandoned and unloved bikes a new life! Thunderous and wonderous, Carnival Republic is creativity on the move…
Pigs might not fly, but they can certainly roll! – Our WILD-RIDE workshop brought Annerley’s wild imagination to life and now you get to experience Carnival Republic.
Pandora’s Karavan
Local band Pandora’s Karavan will be one of the headliners at Junction Fest celebrating Annerley in song!
Rhinestone cowperson Pandora and her merry band of players will bring on a heapin’ helpin’ of alt-country, Texmex, ‘south-of-the-river’, tongue-in cheek revelry! Yee-har (as it were)!
Pandora’s Karavan will mosey you through a delightful anthology of rustic, retro renditions with her searing vocals, Spanish guitar and suitably daggy japes.
The line-up will feature virtuoso Roland Adeney (Qld Symphony Orchestra) on violin, maestro Kym Ambrose (View from Madeleine’s Couch, Cigány Weaver) on percussion, Mark Sandford (airline pilot!) on bass, and an all-star cast of guest artists, including Peter Barraclough (jazz legend!) on trumpet, Yani (Maudlin & the Tearjerkers) on backing vocals, Jimi Beavis (Holly Rollercoasters, Wicked Messenger) on harmonica, Darryl Finn (Hinterlanders) on lap-steel and mandolin…and more players to be announced.
A rollicking pastiche of local talent and a jolly good time is promised!

Miller Moko
Wanting to listen to some music inspired by The Pixies, Cavetown and 80s Pop?
Why not find a spot to groove to Miller Moko at Annerley Junction Fest.
Miller Moko is a folk indie musician with a precocious ability for sick guitar licks.
Having recently performed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, alongside their musician mum supporting Ian Moss and garnering a huge following on TikTok with many viral videos, Miller is entertaining and inspiring.
On 7AP
On 7ap is a local wannabe punk band who want to jump up and down and have some fun and will be playing at Annerley Junction Fest.
The band originated from garage jam sessions between guitar player Liam and bass player Sam who quickly roped in piano player Peyo to whack some drums.
Initially, the trio found their feet through house gigs and have just made their debut rocking out at public venues.
Parallel Play
Fae and Jules will be turning screws loose quicker than fools groove with their slick moves at Off The Beaten Track at Annerley Junction Fest.
Parallel Play are a tall twosome with all new tunes of drum machine blues, sunscreen views and shaking caboose.
Listen too electric sounds found from experiments, eclectic moods drowned in fuzz face licks, kicks that boom and what was great brain food, you won’t wanna miss these two.
