The Underground Stage
Show Notes “It’s False London’s first show in Sydney, but this muscular set of sharp-edged indie rock is immediate enough to tempt the crowd out from under the covers and into the rain for a closer look. While it may sound as warming as a winter fire, there’s a real serrated edge that takes it […]
Show Notes “Paul Blart & The Blart Blarts thunder into the wet of the afternoon like a truck with its brakes sliced, rolling peals of Jon Spencer in broken boots. Cathartic, explosive, and irretrievably off-road.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Wawawow never disappoint. Every set I’ve seen them play has brimmed with creativity, weirdness, volume, and enough fizzing energy to light up a decent-sized city. This one is no different, except tonight we bid farewell to Shaun, their long-standing rhythmical core, and it’s as gonzo a set as you could ever wish to […]
Show Notes Florange are a two-piece with a loop pedal, which means they sound like nineteen rampaging oddball cowboys instead of just a pair of them. The lines rattle and thump and judder, dust flies off each beat, and the whole set is delivered in widescreen, jittering technicolour. Cinematic, menacing, and wired straight into the […]
Show Notes “Othrship deliver groove to your door, full of just enough jazzy widdling and wonky tangents to make you think they’re up to something deeply sneaky. The cheery bits make your ankles twitch, but there’s mischief lurking in the background and it’s going to pick your pocket.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Shark Bay Dazy might come off like everything’s floaty and made of air but every single song in this set has muscles ripping the seams of its clothes. We soar off into the sky, propelled by wings with real power.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Lariska have a lot in their trick bag and decide to use all of it tonight. We get piano-driven, we get urgent, we get danceable, dreamy, fun, shouty, soaring… there’s so much musical skill in here but ultimately it’s like being hosed down with all of your favourite things. At the death – […]
Show Notes “Trash Springfield opens tonight with a set of weathered, near hymnal songs, rich like sauce. When they let go, it stamps the dust off its boots but for the most part, it gives us all the chance to slowly slide into a vat full of equal parts melancholy and joy.” Gallery Learn More […]
Show Notes “Few bands could be better to get the feet – and the blood, and the alcohol levels – moving again than The Bottlers at Frankie’s. With all two hundred and seven of them onstage, the Celtic punk seeping into the carpet along with the spilled beer, it’s a bloody great big welcome back […]
