Show Notes “It’s easy to dismiss Baby Beef – it’s a gimmick, an in-joke, not serious. That is a mistake. It’s funny as hell, sure, but it’s got depths of songwriting chops that are too easy to miss in the Wall Street yuppie chaos they create. Soaring moments of song cut through the immensely clever […]
Show Notes “Megafauna return to the stage tonight with a beauty of a set, rich and dense with emotion across the whole spectrum. While the set pounds on whichever of your organs contains all the feels, we do get a brand new one – featuring a Baby Beef – which is where, naturally, the joy […]

“Just about every artist anywhere would kill for a set this tight, but there are precious few who would announce onstage that they’ve already made it because they’ve won the approval of their community’s elders. Every one of JK-47’s bars brims with passion, every lesson taught here is born from pain, every beat and bounce […]
“Hammy & Hazy step it up a level, cement-solid beats laying the foundation for hard-charging tunes. Rattling bangers from start to end.” Hammy & Hazy Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best new Australian artists. Updated all the time.
