The Art Of Dysfunction

*Art of Dysfunction* are a Perth-based blues-rock outfit forged in the south of Western Australia, delivering high-octane rock ‘n’ roll with deep roots in blues, funk, swing, reggae, and soul.

They’ve cut their teeth playing alongside Australian rock mainstays like *Electric Mary* and *The Radiators*, and took their sound overseas on a European tour in 2022 supporting blues icon *Michael Vdelli*. That connection stuck — the band later became Vdelli’s rhythm section in 2025 with two singles out.

Fresh off back-to-back appearances at *Ravenswood Blues & Roots Festival* in 2025 and 2026, they’ve also hit *Bridgetown Blues* with Michael Vdelli in 2025 and are set for *Echuca Blues Festival* with him in 2026.

*Lineup:*

– *Michael Menna* – Guitar, vocals. Known for blistering blues licks and current guitar player for “The Jets.”

– *Royce Mack* – Drums. Formerly of the Zack Linton Trio and Vdelli’s band.

– *Kelly McCarthy* – Bass. Formerly of the Zack Linton Trio and the Joondalup Symphony Orchestra.

Expect tight grooves, soaring guitar, and a live show that’ll send you to the moon and have you back in time for breakfast.

A festival where everyone belongs.
