Mr Samsonite
Based in Bendigo · Travels up to 100km
About this act
Mr Samsonite have been working the venues of Bendigo and Central Victoria since 2014, and they've played to rooms of every size in that time. A standard night is three or four sets of 45 minutes and up, often starting acoustic, moving through pop and rock, and finishing on the classics that fill a floor. The setlist keeps shifting but currently holds "Everlong", "April Sun in Cuba", "Better Man", "Holy Grail", "Horses", "Dumb Things", "Hoops" and "Blister in the Sun", among plenty of others. They'll adjust the style to the room, loud or subdued, whichever the night needs. Weddings, football and netball club balls, corporate nights and birthdays. They carry everything for crowds up to 250, PA and lights included. Just supply power.
