The Underground Stage
“Like a bear trap, Lady Lazarus wait in the shadows until the unwary step on them – at which point they bite off a leg. ‘Blondes’ is – remarkably – not even the most aggressive song on the raucous, blistering EP that shares its name, a collection of hammering, screaming fury 😡”
“Rambunctious and rumbly, Favoured State unleash jerky mayhem from the off, limbs flailing madly and sweat flying through the air. Designed to raise the heart rate to dangerous levels, and to leave you exhausted in all the best ways 🥵”
“Great Job! are on sparkling form tonight, like a disco ball under twinkling stars. They called this gig a ‘Season Finale’ – leading to some minor heart attacks about possible cancellation – but thankfully, it’ll just be a month or two before this classic show restarts with a new album, new songs, and sets as […]

“RAGEFLOWER haven’t played a show in two years, apparently, but you really can’t tell – as the set builds, it goes from gentle melody all the way through to explosive guitar pop made of large noises and fireworks. If this is the first-time-back warmup, the full-pelt version will be spectacular.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | […]
One of the most exciting bands in Australia right now, Radio Free Alice are ticking the boxes with both audiences and critics, picking up increasingly hefty playlist support and fast-growing amounts of followers all at the same time. It’s still early days, sure, but the speed at which things are happening for this band are […]
