From the lively streets of Vancouver’s music scene emerges the alt-rock powerhouse, Hotel Mira, whose recent magnetic performance at Sydney’s SXSW left audiences rapidly funnelling their songs into favoured playlists.
Originally formed by dynamic duo Charlie Kerr on vocals and Mike Noble on bass, Hotel Mira expanded their sonic horizons in 2018, welcoming Clark Grieve on guitar and keyboards, and Cole George on drums. Their collaborative efforts on their self-titled debut album “Hotel Mira,” ignited a global following with its stomping percussion and neon-soaked synths reminiscent of indie club dancefloors from the early 2000s.
Drawing inspiration from the unbridled energy of punk and the iconic sounds of 90s indie rock legends, Hotel Mira has sculpted a sound that’s uniquely theirs. Sharing stages with heavyweights like Billy Talent, Foals, and July Talk, Hotel Mira has solidified their status as a force to be reckoned with in today’s alt-rock scene. Their recent US/Canadian tour included 27 headline dates, as well as a performance at School Night LA and multiple opening slots for The Rare Occasions (April 2023).
“Hotel Mira is quickly becoming one of the hottest new acts to watch. The band has an electrifying energy that radiates through their music”
– Earmilk
“For an album that has a lot of uptempo moments in optimistic-sounding major keys, it’s not afraid to embrace important, darker topics”

Ruel Australia
Sydney's RUEL joins us on Mood on the Roof, which this time just happens to be a floor down, for a secret YouTube Music Nights show in our warehouse, played in the round to a sweat-soaked crowd getting the new Kicking My Feet & Screaming songs at point-blank range.
Sports United States
Oklahoma’s Sports have spent the last decade making electronic/pop music that’s almost too slippery to categorise, pulling psych, funk, soft rock and electronics into something unmistakably their own. They hit the roof with two cuts from their new self-titled record, the nervy, glitch-heavy “Drama King” and the much warmer “Keep Falling in Love”.
NO CIGAR New Zealand
Auckland, NZ indie rock outfit NO CIGAR join us on the roof for two soaked, no-excuses performances in proper pissing down rain, running “Merci Merci” and “Russian Roulette” from their third album Under the Surface.
Jack Gray Australia
Jack Gray performs Winter City like a late check-in from the road, all cold-air pop hooks and touring fatigue, the sound of an Australian kid looking around a foreign skyline and turning the homesick feeling into something you can sing along to.
