The Underground Stage
Show Notes “Father Deer Hands move around like they’ve stuck wet fingers in a power socket, playing a set that has roughly the same effect on us. A jarring, brutal, twelve full rounds of fun.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Out in the crowd from the off, Keepsake roar through their set, fearsome and built like a barn. Uncompromising.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Richard Cuthbert’s fertile songwriting shines tonight, playing songs from the recent – brilliant – album, with the odd brand new one poking its head up to boot. Classic, jangly, and referencing (but not beholden to) the best bits of Australian-era Dando and Smudge, this is comfortable but in a way that still makes […]
Show Notes “Even above the fuzzy and glorious songs, which veer from shoegazey intensity to off-kilter Pavement-ish fun, Stressless find the joy in the grind, shine bright lights into grey days, and deliver enough smile to light up the whole damn city.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Magnetic Heads is in solo Head mode tonight, and opens tonight with a series of songs that not only reference game theory, but that sound like irrational numbers – mathematically precise yet wonky and unpredictable, and all the more enjoyable for it.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “When you name your band Grenade Jumper you’re making a statement. This afternoon’s set may be short but it makes its point, with all the joy, the spikiness, and the feels of rough-edged pop-punk packed into a dense nucleus. Mighty.” Gallery Learn More Instagram

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 […]
