The setup begins at the Hookey house - instruments are tuned, speakers are fiddled with and lights are precariously hung from branches and amps.
We've Found The Rebel Bass
How cool is a red bass?
Rhetorical question.

In an outfit telling of the set's final cover/mash-up, Jack warms up his bass skills by running over the basslines - ones he only learnt hours earlier.
A Cold One
Tastes crisp, helps nerves, stokes patriotism - a little cheap alcohol goes a long way.

Teddy Hookey
In this soft portrait shot moments before the gig kicked off, Mister Savage drummer Teddy Hookey readies himself for his newest project's live debut.
Small Town Alien
Jack - aka. Small Town Alien - has been known to wear all manner of masks in his music videos and live performances. This mask can be seen in the video for "Hey," an early track off his first album, Songs 4 Kids With Cool Parents.

Supporting DJ 3-4 watches Mister Savage get underway as the sun begins to set. The crowd slowly pushes forward as more guests arrive at the rear.
Harry & Co.
Millie and Harry, both Hookeys, watch on from the pink balcony overlooking their garden.
Harry would later join the band for a song, the footage of which is included in the MISTER SAVAGE: LIVE AT KOOYONG short film.
