A Chat With The Rollercanes

A Chat between Eggy, Crepes and Baked Beans
Ahead of the Brunswick Music Feastival tomorrow – a show which will see a spread of Melbourne’s tastiest bands teaming up for what they’re describing as a “six-course serving of aural degustation” – we jumped in on a chat between Crepes, Eggy and Baked Beans, in hope of finding out what’s set to go down.
