NOOSA is about to get a little more wonderful as Planet Bliss, the first event in the Cosmic Concert series, hits The J later this month.
The who’s who of locally grown talent will bring positive vibes to the Planet Bliss concert including OKA, The Floating Bridges and the Cheap Fakes.
Planet Bliss is the first of a series of concerts masterminded by Peregian Originals co-founder Jay Bishoff which aim to make things just a little more wonderful on Earth through funky vibes and blissful tunes.
Noosa Today asked members of each band where they found their bliss.
No sooner have headliners OKA touched down in Australia than they are off again on another tour, so it was no surprise when frontman Stu Fergie said home was where bliss could be found.
“Nothing is better than having hang time with family, we’re on the road a lot, so when we’re home we just chill out on our beaches, enjoy island time,” Stu said.
Dale Mallett from The Floating Bridges echoed Stu’s sentiment and said the band often headed back to nature to find their bliss.
“We will head to the hinterland with an esky, hammock and guitars to chill and hang out together,” he said.
The band are always sure to pick up their empties after a day of chilling out with Dale saying a more positive approach to cleaning up the Earth was the best way to make it a better place.
The dapper-dressed frontman of six-piece Cheap Fakes Hayden Andrews said his method of unwinding was less social than that of The Floating Bridges, saying vinyl records were his source of peace.
“I collect vinyl records, so when I want to relax I just put a record on. It’s my main source of happiness because it can change your mood or help you to bliss out and float away,” he said.
So if you’re looking for bliss and positive vibes make sure you head to The J, Noosa Heads, on Saturday 21 May from 5pm to catch the best of Coastal talent. Tickets are $30 pre-sale and $35 at the door and are available at www.thej.com.au.
