The Darrans @ 7th Day Brewery, 25th Apr
“The Darrans are serrated at the edges but gooey at the core, the sort of band that draws blood while you grin and grin and grin. Bags of mischief and song, all wrapped up in a bare-knuckle bar brawl.” Gallery Listen
Ghazza @ 7th Day Brewery, 25th Apr
“Ghazza mix up rumbling thuds with fizzing tempo, a blistering and feral set of giddy savagery. Bouncing and crashing and wild, itβs the sort of set you leave with happy memories and equally happy bruises.” Gallery Listen
Corella @ 7th Day Brewery, 25th Apr
“Corellaβs heavy riffs dominate the set, much of it instrumental, all of it beefy and muscular. More than anything it creates a mood, a background growl to raise the hackles, and – when the vocals do kick in – itβs something to snap a neck muscle to.” Gallery
“The Tullamarines brim over the edge of the glass with fun and pleasure, sugary joy and dopamine highs. A packed Vic is feeling it too, hands high and feet moving throughout, singalongs a constant, all the best bits of the best nights out turned into song. A guiltless pleasure.” Gallery Listen
Thom Bastick @ Vic On The Park, 24th Apr
“Thom Bastick strides with purpose, quietly confident even when it gets loud. The noisier bits carry shoegazey tones and incentive guitar flourishes, while the quieter phases are arresting and balmy. A lovely, smartly-crafted set of peaks and troughs, light and shade.” Gallery Listen
