In an attempt to raise the profile of the Toowoomba music scene, and expand the musical horizons for the town’s local artists, three rock acts will come down from the hills and descend upon Brisbane later this month for 'The Hills Have Bands'.
Long-time scene stalwarts Project 62 will be bringing The Astronaut Headdress and Therapy of Noise to tantalise the ear buds of Brisbane’s rock-going public, in what they hope will become a regular showcase of T-ba talent.

Regulars of the rock scene in southeast Queensland for the better part of a decade, the members of Project 62 are partial to a little word fun... here they select their favourite 'f' words. Steady on lads.
1. Flannel
Who doesn’t love this stuff. The high priest of the material world, flannel is kick-arse for making shirts, sheets and little things to wash yourself with. Informally, the Brit’s use this word as a verb to describe the use of bland, fluent talk to avoid addressing a difficult subject or situation directly. Ring any bells leaders of our nation?2. Funnel
Word wise this is pretty close to flannel, but what a seriously useful invention. Without them how on earth would we be able to pour whiskey into flasks (another of our favourite 'f' words) or top up our olive oil bottles from those ridiculously huge tins you buy to save money?3. Forestry
The boys in the band love this combination of science, planting, managing and caring for one of our planet's great, natural resources. Project 62 has regularly played at charity events including World Environment Day and Earth Unplugged. We care plus the word itself really rolls off the tongue.4. Farts
Well it’s not like we love them, except maybe the smell of our own, but many a humorous moment comes from the occasional toot. Whether it be the six of us travelling in a car together or if we’re crashing on the floor of someone’s lounge room on tour when someone cuts the cheese, raucous laughter ensues. Juvenile? Yes, yes we are!5. Fornication
Is there anyone that doesn’t have this in his or her top 5? Not if you’re being honest with yourself. Members of the band have collectively spawned 5 kids, so yeah Project 62 pretty much know what they’re doing in the sack. That’s the whole point of it right?The Hills Have Bands plays New Globe Theatre 20 August with Project 62 joined by Astronaut Headdress and Therapy of Noise.
