The Fillmore Brothers are a sexy Australian pop music band. Better than that, they’re a sexy Apollo Bay pop music band. 2 white guys (brothers, actual literal brothers) in skinny jeans playing pop music that will never be popular. Jack Fillmore plays musical instruments and sings in a deep voice. Seamus plays other musical instruments and his voice is a bit higher. We like them and think they’re great. Appearing with the vacant smiles.
The Vacant Smiles bounce between styles and moods with untethered excitement and uncontainable energy.

In a small fishing village at the edge of a huge dry continent, the children have all vanished. Down at the seawall the mothers keep a vigil while the fishers fish. When a rare catch is hauled in, the whole village turns out to see. Is it an omen? Does it hold the answer to the missing children? Is what follows a barbaric path to redemption or a strange and touching love story?
See the village turn out to tell its tale over two Saturday nights while the moon wanes, the waves wash in and the fires are lit.
