SPAV (Hot Lemons)
Sarah Spaven is a local acoustic performer who also plays with the band The Hot Lemons.
When zesty meets jazzy and tangy hits the groove… you get The Hot Lemons! Based in Regional Ballarat, this art rock trio is all about slipping and sliding across musical genres—from the Qiery riffs of metal to the catchy hooks of pop. But don’t just think of them as musicians—think of them as performers who turn every set into a high-energy, playful journey. With their witty humour and infectious enthusiasm, The Hot Lemons are here for one thing: a good time. So, let’s not take it too seriously—grab your dancing shoes and join the boogie!
