“Battlesnake‘s scenery-chewing (and climbing) loonery swarms the courtyard, turning what had been a calm and relaxing afternoon into a throbbing maelstrom filled with metal and goblins. Never anything short of eye-poppingly mad, it’s impossible to ignore, and is the best time you’ll ever have watching grown men wear sheets.“ Gallery
“A flawless performance matches the clear blue waters of Jem Cassar-Daley’s songwriting, a deep dive into a place where the noise abruptly stops and all that’s left is peace, quiet, and glorious calm. A fabulous talent, and as bright as it is today, it’s surely only going to get brighter.” Gallery
“Joining us from New Zealand, Molly Payton’s set introduces itself quietly, almost nervously, and then drops a ton of pianos on your head without warning. During the quiet bits you can hear the leaves in the trees – but when it lets go it’s the only thing you’re aware of.” Gallery
“Adam Newling’s full-throated stories fill the ears, heat for the blood and the soul. Capable of both tip-toeing past quietly or stomping the bloody floor out, it’s just one riot of joy after another.” Gallery
“Selve open up the afternoon tune section with high-energy and maximum effort, dancing like it’s two in the morning, not the afternoon.” Gallery
“We Don’t Ride Llamas close out the night, a massive racket wrapped in astonishing style and poise. Wildly veering between crisp post-punk and giganto fury, it fires up as much as it blisters.” Gallery
“Hindia‘s class shines like a supernova, and the energy is enough to blow the buttons off your shirt. One of those magical sets you never planned on seeing, but that will linger – SXSW Sydney in a bottle, right there.” Gallery
“Rocket fuel and sugar and good times power Teenage Joans’ fizzy brilliance, a soaring bag of mayhem and delight. You’ll see few bands who’ll fly higher or burn brighter.” Gallery
