**FREE ENTRY** Buddhadatta

From the Japanese Underground comes buddhist punk sensation BUDDHADATTA. Unlike anything else thrown up from that scene, this excitement machine is dark and mysterious with tribal rhythms and throat sing and a sense of fun rarely found in such bands. This trio from Nagoya and the mean streets of Osaka have been slaying audiences on their 2025 Australian tour, selling out 3x NSW shows and headlining small festivals. Now the play a one-off southside Melbourne show and it's FREE entry courtesy of The Espy. This is a band, and experience NOT TO BE MISSED - BUDDHADATTA, free in The Espy Basement with special guest REMIT (ahead of their debut LP coming out), Thursday 20th March.
