Set over three days, Goody Goody Gumdrops is an absurd, comic observational musical documentary cum live album launch for Tropical Fuck Storm’s new album Deep States. Situated deep in Central Victoria on the banks of the Goulburn River at TFS HQ, we follow the band as they prepare for a rock show in their barn. Referencing the feel of the Australian Western and Australian Gothic (see Wake in Fright, The Cars That Ate Paris and Picnic at Hanging Rock) we travel with the band through their abject, weird and beautiful space. The weekend starts as the band welcomes you into their studio/cocktail lounge and teach you how to make their signature drink, The Tropical Fuck Fizz, then entertain you, Rat Pack style.

Just Passing Through is a short documentary film on life as a full-time musician in Australia. Artists’ Gareth Liddiard, Sarah Blasko & Paul Dempsey clear a space in the messy tour van of their lives, to detail the long road behind overnight success. This is fame and fortune Australia style – unglamorous and hardly secure.
