This week we are featuring @baby_mullet 🖤⚡️ Baby Mullet are a three-piece, female fronted, rock band from Melbourne. Their tracks hit hard fearlessly, taking on topics such as cat calling, the insulin crisis and other worldly problems. Catch their tunes on UCFM this Thursday night to hear their all new single “Error-404”. This track is a fictional tale and an exaggeration of living in the modern world, with lyrics attributing life to a daunting city simulation. One where many people living in it want to take the red pill to escape the “real world” or a better, more functional existence for all.
