THE Sunshine Coast music scene is set to burst with Noosa’s first major music event scheduled for September; local bands are being snapped up for international tours and new albums dropping most weeks.
Local band In2nation will launch their second album, GroundUp, tomorrow night at the Solbar after a nine-year hiatus which saw the guys travel around the world.
Leadman Mick Wallace said their new album featured 11 new songs inspired by their travels but stayed true to their unique and infectious blend of funk, reggae, soul and rap.
GroundUp will be available in iTunes from Friday.
Sunshine Coast favourites OKA have taken a big leap with the band currently in Canada embarking on their maiden international tour.
OKA, who describe their music as Australian earth music with sublime dimensions, started with shows in the UK before landing in Canada this month for a further stack of shows.
The Originals Music Festival is also bringing big name acts to town, mixed with a wide variety of local talent.
Sticky Fingers will headline the one-day festival on 13 September, but the local talent will prove just as popular with favourites such as Carl Wockner, Soula and In2nation all performing on the day.
