The Underground Stage
“Mac The Knife are all muscle and gristle and bone, no give and all tension. It’s never less than a *show* either, a loud display of strength and song – magnificent, in all the ways.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Neighbourhood Void’s songs are as hard-edged and as smart as a street urchin, as liable to pick your pocket as they are to give you a belly full of fun. Rarely a foot put wrong, and never less than giant tunes.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“Starcrazy carve their riffs out of granite, leaving every last one sparkling and razor-sharp with harmonics, a gigantic festival of rock-shaped joy. They have one job, and it’s to make you enjoy your damn self – job done.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Lady Lyon’s honey-sweet country rides into the midst of Fangzstock like a much-needed reminder of the power of twang, a slice of rich and lovely cake. Loud is great, sure – but not all voices need to shout to be heard.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok

“Well? do nothing by half-measures, everything is cranked into the red, everything that is inside spilling out and onto the floor. Every note explodes and bursts and blows gaskets.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“Blake Cateris is built for sunshine, despite the darker thoughts running through his songs. For rarity value, there are few male voices that carry as far and cut as sharp as his – the new ones blare like sirens to watch it all carefully for the year ahead.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram | […]
“Untethered from electronics or band, Sarah Yagki’s voice fills still air, taking the songs from whispers to roars at will. Smooth, even jazzy in places, it’s all power and mood and feeling, even thickening the outdoor summer heat.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
