The  Reserve Skank of Australia are Canberra's very own 12-piece lady and man ska group, and need to be seen to be believed. They are making a most welcome and triumphant return to the stage at Smith's, where they almost blew the roof off at their last show.

Evan “Evzilla” Hanford, who also records as the Main Chance, is the head honcho of Stubborn Mule Records. He is currently working on someone else's novel, and studying music at the Canberra Institute of Technology. He has been a regular performer at Smith's in one way or another for the last half a decade.

The DSM6 are one of the hottest young bands on the indie circuit at the moment. Do yourself a favour and get to the show early.
