The Underground Stage
MAY-A has this bit tonight where she – maybe honestly – says she worried that only five people were going to show up. For real, anyone who *didn’t* show up tonight needs their heads checked. This is an astonishing set – rich in song, crazy high in emotion, and just a wonderful demo of how […]
Kirsten Salty and her guitarist strip it all back tonight, right back to the bones of the songs. Deep in the heart of this is a voice you’d cheerfully die for, songs with depth you’d drown in with a smile on your face. Not just an insanely brilliant name – this is pop backed up […]
Lunatics On Pogosticks return after several years apart, and these former Unearthed High winners have grown up to learn some of the harder lessons life has to offer. Without so much as a trigger warning for suicidal thoughts and depression, this return to the fray doesn’t sugarcoat a thing right from the off, with stories […]
Neighbourhood Void go fully Territorial Pissings on their latest slab of high-energy twitching and speeding. Staying only just the right side of being in control, it barrels around like a chainsaw atttached to a whoopee cushion, hugely fun but covered in blood and trauma.

“We Are Not Robots have been joined by their new guitarist Ava, and you will be unsurprised to discover this has not made them any quieter. New single ‘Just Lie Again’ rings out loud alongside their muscular set made of guitar hurricanes, laying waste to crops and farmland for miles around.” Facebook | Instagram | […]
“Indigo Sparke and her songs swirl around the venue like smoke, at some points just the mere hint of a presence but at others an early warning that your whole damn house is about to burn down. Like all the best dangerous things, it’s impossible to turn your gaze away.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to […]
“Angeles performs stripped way back tonight, and peeling back the layers reveals just how plaintive and pleading these enchanting songs are. The core of the thing is laid open, but it seems to retreat even further into the shadows.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best […]
“Lisa Caruso joins us solo tonight, which waters things down not one little bit. That alternately raw and soaring vocal both skitters and scorches, and you’re reminded, directly, of the power of what one guitar and a voice can do to you. It’s not the air-con that’s giving us the shivers.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe […]
