After an incredible response to our first reunion, Quatro is back.

On Saturday, 26 September, Friction Presents once again turns back the clock, bringing Canberra's most iconic R&B and Hip Hop club back to life for another unforgettable day at Hopscotch.

The last reunion sold out and proved one thing — the love for Quatro is just as strong today as it was back in the late '90s and 2000s.

Thundering out of Santa Cruz’s thriving and resurgent music scene, First Day Back have spenttheir final years in college solidifying their place in the emo revival revival. Heralded as the rightful torchbearers of second wave emo, First Day Back recalls the vocal exasperation of Cap'n Jazz, the twinkle of American Football, and the youthful exuberance of Braid, all while reinventing the sound with the organic additions of violin and harmonica.
