Bubbling up from the crevices of West End, The Mouldy Lovers came together quietly and brewed to a loud menagerie of exuberant gypsy junk.

Well known from regular busking in local spots around brisbane such as Queen St Mall, Southbank and the West End Green Flea Markets, The Mouldy Lovers have developed strong roots amongst Brisbane street folk, market dwellers and weekend leisure seekers.
