The Underground Stage
“Sparsely mad, with a bass part that rolls up and down the walls like the blobs in a lava lamp, ‘Me & My Denial’ is taken from Molly Millington’s excellent ‘5 Stages’ EP. All the tracks contain glorious surprises in the melodies, but none make you quite as deliriously happy as the high notes in this chorus. Madcap, wonky, and brilliant 🙃”
“Great Job! are furious at the intolerance of the world on this rallying call to power through the stupid and to find our own identities and lives regardless. It could easily have been a rant, but instead it’s poetic and optimistic, a sparkly wee thing made of rare charm and love 🥰”
“A wild beast of a track from Jon Ann, this is raw and primal energy, crashing through the doors and the walls to get at its prey. It rumbles and it roars, coupling scything claws with sheer brute force to overwhelm and, ultimately, overcome 👹”
“Starkly alone onstage for most of this show tonight, Isabella Manfredi highlights, dramatically, just how many full bands couldn’t touch the power of this set even if you gave them a ten-foot pole and a ladder. Her eyeball-melter of a voice merges and melds into those warm-blanket keys, and these songs – recent, Preatures-era, and […]
“With just a smattering of skill, anyone can sing and play guitar at the same time.

Nothing is drowned out, and these rich songs soar the higher for it.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers blow into Sydney and from the off it’s impossible to figure out where their joy ends and ours begins. Holy cow, this is a show to be at – we scream, we dance, we agree with every damn thing they say from start to finish. If they ever want to […]
“Logan’s recent release ‘Famous’ comes dead last in this set, but it’s a hell of a journey to get there. Blistering soul and pop are interspersed with quieter moments, yet endless dancing and giddy enthusiasm rule the roost – there’s even a full Elvis-cover-driven hip workout to try and keep up with. This is high-class […]
“The Empty Threats scratch the paint off the walls without even breaking a nail, fearsome energy propelling giant song. Its mood might come off dark but it lights up the whole damn room, a defiant theatre.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Sonic Reducer’s raw and serrated set opens up the night like a slashing blade across the gut, important bits spilling everywhere. Uncompromising but defiantly fun, there’s so much blood going everywhere it’s impossible not to get swept up in the tide.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram | TikTok
