11 Jul 2026 Live Music Bendigo 11 July 2026 Angus and Brett joined by Chelsea Hill from Yo Bendigo to discuss the upcoming BendiGlow Battle of the Bands. Entries closing on 10 August. Then new Bendigo artist Neb Bennu joined the team live in the studio with his debut single. Waigo joined the team and they welcomed to the studio The Refuge from Apollo Bay/Melbourne. The Refuge had a chat then brought to life live in the studio their one and only track that can be played "acoustically". The resulting performance gave the matrix a bit of a nudge with some audio and visual distortion that had never previously been experienced on the show.
