Two people are seen through the reflection of a broken mirror, capturing a selfie. The shattered glass creates a fragmented and artistic effect, distorting their images. The background shows an outdoor scene with greenery and a bright sky.

  • Performed by: Blake Everett and Harrison Lane

It's comedy, it's music, it's a dance party. They're on a mission to create something from nothing, each show is a new jam, culminating in an album launch on closing night!

'The "Wham, Bam, Thank You" Jam' is a three-week endeavour to create an album one show at a time. Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like a fast approaching deadline. With that in mind, each show will be completely different, as the band create jam after jam hoping to strike gold. Some jams will make the album, whilst others will never be heard again.

Blake Everett leads the jam alongside Harrison Lane. The multi-instrumentalists last performed together in the GTA-inspired 'Video Games Made My Son Like Country Music', which was nominated for Best Music at last year's Melbourne Fringe.
