About this event

After years of crossing paths, Benny J Ward and Lava Fangs finally share a split 7" on Cheersquad Records & Tapes. Ward's side pairs an original power-pop track with a cover of The Mono Men's 'Watch Outside'; Lava Fangs flip the record with two sharp garage-pop cuts. The Tote upstairs, October 1—hook-heavy guitar music from two corners of Melbourne's underground.
