From the heart of Naarm, Acid Arrow emerge as sorcerers of twang, conjuring a sound where outlaw country collides with psychedelic textures. Formed by Brooke Penrose (Saint Jude, Eaten by Dogs, Little John) and Brett Marshall (Mightiest of Guns, Cash Savage & the Last Drinks), the duo draws on a rich lineage of Australian alt-country and folk-rock, weaving stories steeped in grit and mysticism. The twin songwriters alternate from Penrose's strident tenor and Marshall's husky baritone, exchanging two different approaches to guitar.
Their latest single, “Drop Your Shoulders Down”, is a slow-burn crooner that aches as much as it soothes, riding the knife’s edge between struggle and surrender, the track leans into life’s trials and the quiet strength we all need at times.
A follow up to their psyche drenched debut single "Then it Rains" that received national community radio support from RRR/PBS/4ZZZ/2SER and beyond, Acid Arrow are rollicking around Victoria and the East Coast, with rag-tag band with members borrowed from Cash Savage & the Last Drinks, Eaten By Dogs, The Baudelaires and Orville Brody.
Joining them on the night will be legendary hillbilly, jazz, blues, one-man minstrel show, HUCKLEBERRY
