Teenage Joans @ Tumbalong Park, 13th Jun

“Teenage Joans snap strings in the opening moments and are basically scatterbrains the whole way through their set, but it literally could not be any more charming.

Lola Scott @ Tumbalong Park, 13th Jun

“Lola Scott’s set is served up tonight at Vivid on a festival-sized stage and it gives these beautifully-crafted songs the space to breathe, to exhale so loudly it knocks you back on your feet.

Avalanche – Armed To The Teeth

“A straight-up homage to AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’, Avalanche might be taking on some big guns here, but are carrying enough firepower of their own to pull it off. If you aim for the king, you better not miss – happily, Avalanche’s aim is true πŸ”«”
