The Underground Stage
“Sandy Dish’s streak of tracks designed to make you snort your drink out of your nose continues with another stabby, spiky little monster that doesn’t so much go there as it gatecrashes, moves in, and refuses to leave. Riotous, hilarious, and brilliant 👹”
“A sugary interpretation of Billy Bragg’s original, neatly capturing the balance between saying the loveliest things and making no sense at all. Daft to the point of clinical derangement while also one of the loveliest sounds you’ll hear for a while, it adds a delightful layer of bonkers to its source 😜”
“Fergus James has that rare quality, the one where you can’t quite figure out why you’re absolutely fucking delighted by what you’re listening to, but you just *are*. He’s playing without a band tonight (so is somehow playing all the instruments, which is both charming and a little mad to watch) but these songs just […]
“Hattie Oates played the same venue just last night but tonight it’s stripped right back, just a couple of guitars and a voice fit to snap any nearby load-bearing structures in half.

Whether it’s cracked and delicate on the sad quiet ones, rich and soaring in the pop moments, or plain full brain-rattling throttle on the indie rock wigouts […]
“Even larking around in what I think might have been a Taylor Swift wig, jnr. is still eight shades of heavy pop goodness. Moving like he’s plugged into the national grid, the set is never short on power or fizz, a juddering thrill of sugar and voltage.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“Jack Anthony & Sophie Jean share a set tonight, with two very different – but equally impressive – sets of songs crammed into the one setlist. Like watching a TikTok duet happen in real time, the opening tracks are Jack Anthony-led, and they’re huge, whopping great waves of indie rock that stretch the beams in […]
It’s not been the busiest twelve months release-wise for Sydney’s fabulous four-piece The Buoys, but that still hasn’t stopped them adding audience and solidifying critic support. In fact, there’s a bunch of reasons why they’re in a strong position to take it to another level this year. Let’s look at the release schedule first. In […]
