Expect high drama on low seas as SUICIDE COUINTRY Hour attempt to simultaneously alienate and win the affections of the crowd. There’s a good chance the singers will break up the band on stage.

HILLSBOROUGH have been peddling their own brand of alt-country/blues at bars and festivals around Queensland. The culmination of years treading the boards at live music venues around the globe, Phil and Beata started the group as a side project to Brisbane’s Psych/Garage machine Sacred Shrines, with inspiration mined from a wide range of sources - from Outlaw Country to 60’s West Coast Psychedelia and beyond. Hillsborough’s sad cowboy songs feature stripped back guitar wrangling, vintage keys and classic harmonies.
